Bitcoin is indeed risky. But bank investments are risky too. In our country (coz I'm not sure if this exist in other countries). When you have a large amount on your account they will call you and ask you if you want to invest, minimum of 20,000 Php (or 400 USD). They will propose some investment plans where there is a choice of low, medium, or high risk investment. When you choose the high risk there is a chance to lose or gain 100% of your investment (Medium is 75% and low is 50% if I remember it right). It doesn't make sense to me, it sounds like a scam, they will invest using your money and you don't have any control to it. That is why I like bitcoin more, coz Though it is risky and it's very volatile, you have full control on your investment.
What do you guys think?
Bitcoin as we all know is full of risks, compared to bank investment which has little to no risks over your investment. But the profit one could gain from investing to bitcoin is far more greater to the potential profits one could gain from investing in a bank. In banks there are a very low amount of interest and gains that you could get but your money is safe from price decreases and unexpected drops, while in bitcoin the gains are very high and so are the risks.
