Set your down-payment goal, your monthly savings, and see how long it takes in a regular savings account, a high-yield account, or Bitcoin — with a straight-talk look at the risk of each.
I'm not going to sugarcoat this. Bitcoin can and does drop 50–80%, and it can stay down for years. If you're buying a home in the next few years, that's the worst-case scenario: the market dips right when you need the cash, and you end up with less than you put in — and no house.
Money you need within ~5 years generally does not belong in something this volatile. A high-yield savings account won't make you rich, but it'll be there — every dollar — the day you find your home. That certainty is worth a lot when a down payment is on the line. Only you can decide how much risk fits your timeline.

Savings projections assume steady contributions and a constant rate of return; real returns vary, and Bitcoin in particular is highly volatile and could lose value. Past performance does not predict future results. The "assumed growth" figure is a hypothetical you choose, not a forecast.
