I worked at a crypto exchange and after I came to the conclusion that 99% of crypto was scams and rugpulls, I sold all my crypto and vowed to have nothing to do with it. It's more of a religion than a financial instrument and absolutely nothing has shown to me that crypto is anything more than a speculative gamble, basically tulips with the religious promise of a better world. The number of employees that lost money on rugpulls while I was there, but "still believed in crypto" was staggering.

My advice is always: Just hodl some bitcoin, but not in amounts that make you cry when you loose it.

It's been better for me so far than normal savings accounts.

A normal savings account does not have zero risk.

What risk are you taking on with a normal savings account?

If you are saying the global collapse of the financial system, crypto will be the first to fall in that case. Crypto like BTC is pretty much a more volatile market tracker.

Currency depreciation due to inflation is one.
