Nested beneath the "invest" option is.... everything there is to invest in.

Those options are then pared down based on your goals, potential returns, risk, cost, your budget, etc.

Your budget will be based on what you can afford, what you can afford or are willing to lose, etc.

It's only "this or that" if... you decide to do this or that, or narrow down your options to the point where that somehow becomes a this/that option, like a single share of two seperate stocks that cost whatever it is you're able to spend.

In this scenario?

You can bet $50 on that longshot game, and you can put $50 in crypto.

But that comes after you've made the invest or don't invest decision.
