It's simple. If you don't buy into crypto, you are short crypto. If you buy in, you are long. I have to decide where to put, lets say, 50k USD in savings each year. Where should I put it? Stocks? Which ones? What are the returns? What is the growth?
Crypto? Which ones? What is the projected growth? So far, I rather put everything in Crypto. Just buy in, dollar cost averaging in the projects you believe, or just 50% BTC and 50% ETH and wait a few years. Again, no investment advice ;)
I will continue to trade, and then put some money back into real assets like apartments or houses, or hope that staking is finally regulated and I can just keep everything in stablecoins or stake ETH and have a fixed income.
You don't invest your life savings, just enough to where you can let it sit. Convert small increments to fiat when it's high, or purchase using crypto directly.
