Is Bitcoin really the future?

I’m 25 I have around 40k invested and aim to save roughly around 12-16k a year mainly into ETFs I only have around £250 in crypto as to me it is a bigger risk that I’m trying to make sense of, from what I’ve read in years to come it could outperform many ETFs but there is also a risk of collapse if it does die out. But I can’t help but wonder if I should put more of my portfolio into crypto. I am optimistic and unsure if it’s a risk I’d want to take at the moment, but I want to know people’s thoughts on why bitcoin or other large crypto players would be successful and that it won’t just crash. What is it that makes you so sure that it will be a success and is going to skyrocket in the future? And for the UK is crypto also subject to any tax’s on profits made? submitted by /u/tbirtles [link] [comments]
