On: Ask HN: How do you find funds to invest in?

[tluyben2]

I understand that HN hates cryptocurrencies for all the right (moral, environmental, ponzi etc) reasons but OP asked for a high risk, short (5 years is short) investment that yields. Crypto is that. So answering the question with; crypto is very high risk, can disappear any moment, is bad for the environment, has no fundamentals etc etc However, the past 10 years show it is pretty good for high yields in short periods. Is better than just downvoting everyone who mentions it to hell imho.

Exactly, if nothing else, just 10% of whole investment in crypto, so risk would be capped. But if horizont is 5 years, my friend would stick to btc.

Not all crypto is bad for the environment. Proof of work (generally) can be bad for the environment.

OP here. Buying a moderate amount of crypto each week, is not a bad idea. Mostly bitcoin, ethereum and low energy crypto like eos.
