A mix of index mutual funds/ETFs is the way to go for long term investing. An allocation of Large, Mid, and Small cap stock indexes, an international stock, and a bond index. The percentage of each will depend on your risk tolerance and time horizon.
An easier way to accomplish this would be to use a robo advisor, Fidelity, Schwab and others have these. Fidelity's is free for investments under $10k.
Individual stock/crypto investing is risky, time consuming, and requires trading knowledge/skill. If you really enjoy doing it and aren't concerned about losing the money go for it, but for most people their time is better spent on other activities they enjoy.
