If you start looking at splits and dividends Ford didn’t do that bad. Also I don’t think anyone said stocks are safe. There’s things like bonds, precious metals, real estate, etc. that one, if smart, can use to maintain wealth.
Crypto is the wilds west. If you know tech, can run wallets, and make smart investments you’ll be fine(like with stock). However, there’s also bitconnect, fake icos, pump and dumps, hackers, etc. that the average unintelligent investor will probably fall victim to and lose their money(even icon had issues). If someone put their life savings in and lost it all they’d probably kill themselves.
Sure. I agree that caution is needed in the wild west of cryptos. BUT, Vitalik, the creator and "CEO" of Ethereum, the second largest crypto currency/token, is NOT the correct person to be telling us this. We hear this every goddamn day from the media and every "sensible" snowflake do-gooder on twitter and god knows where. No need for the core crypto people to spread more FUD. Cryptos are subjected to so much FUD it's ridiculous. It's a 500 billion market..half the size of Apple.
I don’t think this is FUD more a reasonable approach. Plus a lot of the people listening to him aren’t exactly following mainstream news.
Also I believe Apple has more users than crypto, but they’re completely different beasts.
