Let's just take a few remarks:

"Provided you’re playing with money you can afford to lose.'

"It’s an emerging asset class that’s outperforming everything."

"It’s a once-in-a-lifetime shot."

And now let's put these out there:

20Jan2017:BTC-USD: $895.48

10Nov2021: BTC-USD: $63,300

25May2022: BTC-USD: $26,255

18Jun2022: BTC-USD: $18,958

09Nov2022: BTC-USD: $15,969

20Feb2023: BTC-USD: $30,492

25May2023: BTC-USD: $26,291g

One thing you can say about Bitcoin (or all crypto):

That once in a "lifetime shot" a) is either over or b) your odds at a craps table are about the same.

Bitcoin is definitely outperforming every other asset class in volatility. Good luck.

And heaven forbid you ever think of crypto as currency: you'll never be able to budget ever again.
