Very interesting question you pose here.  Despite the fact that stock markets are  probably rigged by a combination of central bank intervention, quantative easing and algorithmic trading it is an established model that  "kind of works", can generate capital growth and dividend income for investors and is regulated. Crypto by contrast  IHMO is still  speculative and will be so until  real world use cases drive mass adoption and people actually transact using crypto. Consequently I  would consider adopting a pragmatic approach  and spread your risk  by investing both in the "old world"  instruments such as stocks and property (but NOT bonds) and the brave new world of crypto.
