Is crypto a good investment? Recent crisis aside, it’s still wise

I don’t remember the very first time I heard of Bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies, but I know my earliest impressions of them were negative.

The fact that Bitcoin was being used to grease the wheels of a dark underworld initially made me consider the crypto space morally compromised. Not only did I not understand the complexities of blockchain-based technologies, but the risk involved with investing in a largely unregulated space also scared me.
