Having $10,000 to invest is an excellent opportunity — but the best choice depends on your profile, your goals, and your risk appetite. Here’s a clear comparison between bank and crypto, followed by personalized advice:
---
🔒 Place in the bank (classic savings or interest-bearing account)
Advantages:
High security (funds guaranteed up to a certain amount)
No risk of capital loss
Regular (but low) interest
Disadvantages:
Return often lower than inflation (loss of real value)
Money locked in certain accounts
Little or no leverage
---
🔁 Invest in cryptocurrencies
Advantages:
Very high potential return
Accessibility 24/7
Possibility to diversify (BTC, ETH, DeFi projects, NFTs, etc.)
Some cryptos can generate passive income (staking, farming)
Disadvantages:
Extreme volatility
Risk of total or partial capital loss
Requires a minimum of knowledge or support
Regulation still unclear depending on the countries

👉 Recommended for a moderate profile (neither too cautious nor too risky)

🧠 Some practical advice:
Start with Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH), they are the most solid.
Always keep a cash or bank safety reserve.
If you want to train, do it seriously: understand candles, risk management, DCA (dollar-cost averaging), etc.
Use secure platforms: Binance, OKX, Bybit, or KuCoin (if accessible in your area).
