I've just started investing in stocks about two years ago when I was already over 40.
Should have done that way earlier when I see the results.
The crypto markets have more potential growth, but are also risky. I've also traded some tokens on different chains (also on Hive) and a lot of times that didn't work out well.
Stocks (and for me ETF's) are a steady, but safer investment. I don't get the highest profits, but it does let me sleep well at night 😂
