Crypto has huge potential. It can be nerve wracking with the volatility, but with a solid daily strategy, over time, one can build increased wealth. Does it lead to happiness? That's a whole other story.
I always contend that money can't buy happiness, but extreme poverty can cause misery. So, a certain amount of money is sort of a fundamental prerequisite for happiness, but I think that amount is far, far lower than most people imagine it to be.
