I spoke to a friend about Bitcoin and he asked if it is safe to invest Pension funds in Bitcoin considering the fact that this is a retirement saving. I am skeptical of investing people's funds in this coin because it can't be predicted also we cannot overlook the fact that Bitcoin may enhance investment returns at retirement.
However, my findings from people that work in these organizations say contributor's funds in some categories can be invested in risky investments because of the high return on investment and contributors have the option to opt for this option but with the exception of the soon-to-retiree.
If he chooses to do so, it's better not to go all-in. Only invest an amount that he can afford to lose if that's the only source of income he has.
This also reminds me of my sister who used to ask me if it's okay for her entire savings to go all-in on Bitcoin, but I educated her not to because of the high risks as well as the unpredictability of the market.
Proper guidance if ever that the person or the retiree are really interested to put his savings into this investment, providing all the information that may allow him to think twice is the help that you can do to avoid letting him to invest everything, if you can influence the person or if you can educate him, there's a bigger chance that he may go deeper before placing his money.
At the end of the day, it's still his decision to make as he owns the money and anything he decides will depend on how he projects
the potential earnings that he will gain from this market.
