This has to be a fake question for clickbait, right?

I think it’s bait.

Based on the sort of questions people ask in the Super/retirement groups I'm in I think its highly likely to be real. I'm not sure that putting all your retirement money into crypto is actually a worse strategy than the more common strategy of taking all your money out of the market every time it drops and buying back in when it goes up.

If thats their current "strategy" they'll do the same thing with crypto. Buying high and selling low has a time honoured history.
