Small DCA 300$/month in crypto over a bunch of coins - eth, btc, solana etc. two questions: what else can I do? I see people mentioning they also have traditional IRA on top of this - why?

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
