You are not the only one that feels this way. I too am conflicted on cryptocurrency. I do believe that blockchain technology has the potential to revolutionize the world as we know it, but it will not come without resistance from bankers and the government. How large of a role that Bitcoin will play in a revolution is yet to be determined (there are alternate cryptocurrencies out there that are competing for a share in this market). Some of these are shadier than others (looking at you, Monero), but that's not to say that they can have a large part in the future. If you want to invest in Bitcoin, I would recommend doing some background research on blockchain technology and maybe learning a little about the different crypto options out there. I see too many people throw their money into crypto just because the price is rising, but it's much more than just that.
