Bitcoin can't be considered as a good alternative for investments, huge investors don't like huge risks, 1% movement is a lot for them and it happens daily on bitcoin. It can even decrease by 10% or rise the same in one day. Also there are a lot of plans to recover from market crashes but just imagine why will stock holders invest money in bitcoin? It's a question of doubt but I highly believe that won't happen.
Yes, whether they had invested a long time ago or invested now, it still does not make any difference. The risk is still there but I would not say big investors or institutions are not in this market already, because they are. The only thing is like you said, due to the risk, I am sure they would have tried to manage that by managing what they are actually investing in the first place. Stock market by the way is just another market entirely, and I do not think if the big players should see an opportunity in the crypto market with the stock market taking a down turn, they won't take it.
Even though bitcoin has proved to be a high ROI giving asset,still we could see more investors stuck with stock exchangesand not willing to leave traditional investments.But if stock market crash happens,then they would definitely rethink and decide to buy bitcoins.
Stock exchange has been on for a very long time, so I do not expect anyone to just simply move all their assets into cryptocurrency because of that. These are totally two different markets which apparently give investors the chance to at least trade the market and make profit from it. A crash in stock market does not really mean it would have some direct impact on cryptocurrency and if it will have at all, I guess investors will just find a market that has been trading a lot lower and in a good demand zone which in this case, we all know crypto is one.
