Huge Crypto Gains or Steady 9-5 Salary: Which Path Wins in Nigeria?

I stumbled on two NYSC graduates taking opposite routes after service. One dove into crypto with ₦800k and rode meme coins to ₦18 million in eight months. But chasing pumps backfired and he’s now back to ₦2 million with no steady income. The other chose a corporate 9-5 paying ₦180k monthly. He saved ₦1.2 million in a year, launched a small side business and still collects his salary. Who’s actually better off? The one who tasted “big life” but couldn’t sustain it, or the one building slowly on a solid foundation? Which would you choose for the long run?
