Crypto, your opinion requested.

I remember when reading/hearing about Bitcoin "accounts" being "lost", due to the investors having forgotten their account passwords

I took a quick look and it seems that there is (possibly) $100 Billion of Bitcoin "lost", due to accounts being unable to be accessed (and likely NEVER to be accessed again)

While Bitcoin spent the last decade soaring and making millionaires out of many people, other owners of the world’s largest cryptocurrency have missed out. Why? One major reason: they’ve lost access to their account.

I have no opinion on crypto. I don't know what it is. I've seen very good results from investing in the stock market. I guess others still do that as well.

The pro crypto folks say that they are not subject to inflation. yes they are in a couple (at least) ways:

The last I checked, there are over 10,000 different crypto currencies. More are constantly being created. Most are worthless and are likely to remain so. But the world is still flooded with them.

I'll use bitcoin as another example. Supposedly it is immune to inflation because the algorithm means there is a fixed maximum number of bitcoins that can ever exist. But a few years back they 'forked' it - created a new 'Bitcoin cash' token and gave owners of bitcoin an equal number of bitcoin cash tokens.

If you are going to gamble in crypto currency, if you let an exchange hold it, you don't actually 'own' it, the exchange does. You only own it if you hold the key to your wallet.

I agree, the risk is very high, don't invest anything you can't afford to lose.

It is as safe an investment as putting your money in lottery tickets.
