Yeah, but that payout ratio - millions to one! Bitcoin will never pay out at that level - I don't know if it ever did.

I find it interesting you're arguing that an unknown ratio is preferable to a known one. Bitcoin has a known current cost, but entirely unknown chances and payouts over an unknown duration. There's little reason to assume that Bitcoin will make another massive jump other than optimism that there will be a new wave of true believer bag holders. I know the lottery is going to be drawn each week and I know the cost and the odds, as well as the minimum payout, and the current payout is updated as we get closer to the drawing.

So don't invest it in that lottery. Invest it in my lottery! I'll sell you as many tickets as you want, I pay out a trillion to one if you win, and I'll keep the risk rate totally unknown to you.
