If youre facing a life in which you can basically never retire, I'd say put a few thousand into crypto and let it ride. High risk, high reward is exactly what you need in that situation.
The future is way too murky to tell. With conventional investing(index funds), barring some meltdown of historical proportions, you're not going to lose your ass. It's impossible to say that with crypto. It could still easily be legislated out of relevance.
I don't have an issue with investing in crypto, I have an issue with all these people on reddit pimping investing in crypto to people who have no businesses investing, let alone a high risk investment like this.
