To be fair, most of the firms selling undefined "cryptoinvestments" or "cryptoassets" have turned out to be scams. It's just as easy to buy cryptocurrency directly (unless you are a publicly traded company).
As far as price fluctuation goes, it is really any different than buying stocks with 40 or 50 times P/E on large cap stocks?
is it really any different than buying stocks
It all just legal gambling, but buying stock in good solid companies which create tangible products and services and have substantial asset value is far better than any cryptocurrency. I see many of the tech companies traded on the NASDAQ as being just as bad as crypto.
Yeah, a lot of the companies on NASDAQ are selling hope and dreams.
But even the successful tech companies don't really have assets other than code and a bunch of servers. And isn't that essentially was cryptocurrencies are, but decentralized? Yeah, tech companies sell services and being in ad revenues, but that could disappear overnight.
