Next is a statistic from one of the accounts I have that's just under a year old, it's a PC and app wallet called
Exodus that I was trying out, it's not an exchange so they aren't holding your money, you are, but you can swap currencies within the app, for a fee though so make up your mind otherwise transaction fees will cost you a lot if you're constantly swapping currencies.

No extra money was put into that account, it's all growth over 10+ months.
Don't make the mistake of thinking you're going to be a millionaire next week but growth like that is better than keeping your money in a bank and this isn't something that's going to suddenly go away. It's only going to gain more traction as it becomes easier for the average person to adopt crypto and learn how to buy and trade it easily.
Also, I've been testing out Raiz for about 6 months which invests in stocks like NASDAQ, etc and profits from that have decreased from the average 10-12% to 5% today because of the world situation at the moment.
Spaceship Voyager which invests your money in mostly tech stocks has also seen a slight decrease even though tech stocks were surprisingly doing quite well during COVID.
At the moment though there's a few international issues that have made a lot of markets fall in the past week.
Either way, that's the game we play. The waiting game.
Whether it be waiting for buds to grow, or whatever else.
