Becoming a whole coiner

I recently inherited around $120k from my grandfather who sadly passed.

My dad argues I should buy like 1.5 btc from it, considering it could be a huge amount of money in the coming years when a block reward is 0.25 or something, and crypto becomes more important.

However, my mom is very frustrated at this idea and keeps telling me it's the equivalent of gambling money. She's scared it's all going to be lost.

I'm personally very bullish on crypto and have been invested in this space for years, but it's a much more significant amount than I have ever put away.

Would you say this could be a great opportunity?

I'm only 20 and still going to college for CS.
