🧠 Why Add Crypto to 401(k)s?

The idea:

Let people diversify their retirement portfolios by investing a portion in digital assets like $BTC , which some see as a hedge against inflation or a high-growth investment.

Proponents argue:

• Crypto is becoming a legitimate asset class.

• Retirement investors should have the freedom to choose.

• Long-term holding (HODLing) aligns with retirement strategy.

Opponents argue:

• Crypto is volatile and speculative.

• Risk may be too high for typical retirement savers.

• Lack of regulation and investor protection.
