Crypto is better than stocks lately. Some coins may be risky but it's all about how the portfolio is managed. It's not about what you invest in but how you manage your investments. I've made decent money off shib. Don't hold any currently but there are no issues with investing what someone can afford. Not just on this but any crypto. SEC just approved a bitcoin futures etf so crypto has a bright outlook ahead. Plenty of money to be made, if done right. And there's nothing wrong with gambling, especially if you don't use your entire bankroll on it.
