Honestly. Do you regret investing in crypto?

I do. After being up and down for 6+ years I currently sit up about 4% in total. I have some stable investments, went for some moon shots and risky coins. Some tanked to nothing. Some rose and held stable at a decent amount higher compared to when I bought them. As I sit here now though, I really wish I would have just used that money on more stock market investments and diversified more into precious metals. I'm watching the McRib predicting our markets and looking at speculative trend graphs that are more abstract than horoscope sky charting while countries start to ramp up gold purchasing to protect themselves from economic volatility. I just feel like in this amount of time I could have made more money on stocks or protected myself more with metals.
