It is really up to the OP if he will venture in crypto or not. Real estate is by any means a tangible investment and if you have the capacity to invest, you should. In crypto, it is a whole different aspect here. If you are a risk taker and know the consequences involved, why not? But it is always better to spend what you can afford to lose, if we are talking crypto. When you compare it to tangible assets, it is different. You know at anytime of the day, you still have the asset and it will only grow in time. Not with high returns but at least you can sleep peacefully knowing that your tangible assets will not disappear. However, in crypto, a user should know what he is getting into. This is a very volatile and risky investment, and not all people can get their target profits, they can even lose all their funds in just short period of time.
