My bitcoins & cryptos are in my pocket and just as secure as my precious metals.
Never leave your cryptos with any one - that’s where the problems have been.......no one has lost any that has held them themselves.
One of my son’s is a computer genius of the highest rank (4 degrees simultaneously, Summa Cum Laude), and VERY conservative in his investments, and has made a small fortune in crypto’s seeing their future when almost no one else did. I’d be much wealthier if I had followed his advice years ago. But even then he warned about the risk. But the risk is NOT in the internet or hacking - if you hold them, they cannot be hacked.
I suggest you do some deeper research on how to buy and hold crypo’s with minimal risk. Biggest risk is they have no inherent value, and if all governments outlaw them, they MIGHT go bust - but they could also go underground and be a black currency of even greater value.

There have always been fad investments - if you get in and out in time, you can make a killing. Something along the line of a pyramid scheme placement, depends on timing.
If a person makes a bundle in a pet rock investment or whatever - they should convert it to real money while they can and bank it. A garage full of pet rocks won’t pay the light bill.
