I have learned alot about bitcoin - been following it since it was worth $1... it is now $4800 today. We are transitioning out of fiat into digital.... this is the last major part of our world that is not digital. ( our communication as in internet, our phones are two examples). The cryptocurrency world is decentralized and is giving power back to the people. Money today is controlled and manipulated by the banks... and money does equal power, for the most part, on this planet today. So, I find bitcoin a far better investment. Even Bill Gates is saying it is a good thing to invest in and that he is predicting it will be worth about $1 million a coin in 5 to 10 years. You can get on YouTube and find a video with him and many other successful business men from different countries talking about their views on it with about the same conclusions. Our fiat dollar is dying, the banks are starting to collapse.
Do your research, for ultimately you are responsible for your life. If you are in the US , there are a few exchanges that I know of - Coinbase, Kraken and Polineux ... these are places that you can exchange your US dollars for bitcoin and others now. Coinbase has bitcoin, ethereum and litecoin. YouTube is a great source of information. check out Road to Roota, Crypto Tips and Clif High. plus, there are many more. I would be careful of Forex... after research, I believe it is manipulated. If the manipulation of the banks falls, I think it will fall too.
For me, investing in cryptos is investing energy in a new world where everyone will be stronger, better off and freer.
