I don't know if you can buy stocks and shares for £50. Even if it isn't going up there are other platforms you can utilise to make sure that your asset, your bitcoin, is working for you, increasing [in value] whether the market goes up or down. Everything is a risk.  Investing, exchanging your money for another asset is a risk.  But you know what's also a risk?  Leaving your money in the bank."
