in my opinion cryto currencies are pure speculation and not an investment
certainly you could make money off them, but it's pure speculative - at least with shares etc typically they are based on future cash flows etc
depends how much spare cash you have, to be willing to lose 100% of it, and how much that money is part of your wealth

my take on it, it is very much Jack and the magic beans
if it starts to get regulated, then value will drop - again my take on it
I'm a 10 on equity investment, but shy on cryptocurrency
