This has to be a fake question for clickbait, right?

I think it’s bait.

Surprisingly, it wasn't (entirely). It was one of the questions asked to the money editor this week. In context, it wasn't even a bad question.

They just picked the question most likely to generate clicks.

Why do you reckon it wasn't made up? Was it submitted through a public platform or something?

Based on the sort of questions people ask in the Super/retirement groups I'm in I think its highly likely to be real. I'm not sure that putting all your retirement money into crypto is actually a worse strategy than the more common strategy of taking all your money out of the market every time it drops and buying back in when it goes up.
