My 401(k) and the fund I spent less than 10 minutes selecting gives me roughly 15% annual growth. Just last month alone it was about 5%. Greed hurts and kills. I'm happy with this return, and I'd instead invest my time in building something tangible than sitting on a stash of Bitcoin and waiting for the day to sell to come, which would never be. It's just very degrading from a psychological point of view - not selling bitcoins does nobody good, including the owner whose psyche is getting severely affected. On forums, I see people living in misery just to invest every penny in cryptos in hopes of a better life, which possibly would never materialize. With stocks and selecting the right companies to you invest in, and having a modest growth that doesn't activate greed that emphatically, the positive outcome for the world as a whole is evident.
