Ben Simpson (speaker) contrasts traditional stock/ETF investing with high-risk assets like cryptocurrency. He suggests stocks/ETFs produce steady, lower returns (e.g., ~8–10%) while high-risk assets offer a stronger return profile if an investor can tolerate volatility. He warns crypto can fall ~30–40% several times per year, making it psychologically difficult but potentially rewarding for those who can stomach the swings.

Around 30–40% ("crypto on Average goes down 30, 40%"), occurring at least a few times every year.

About 8–10% (speaker: "you're going to get your 10%, 8%, whatever you get").

I don't invest in stocks and ETFs, too, but, you know, go for it. Go there. You know, you're going to get your 10%, 8%, whatever you get, and it's going to be boring and you'll get that right. Or you can go to high risk assets where you've, you've got more likely of getting a high return. However, there's high risk, there's volatility. You know, crypto on Average goes down 30, 40%, you know, at least a few times every year. It can be hard to stomach, but if you can stomach that, the return profile is going to be good.
