Should I include crypto investing on my resume?

Hello everyone.

I am a Master's student in a target European uni looking for my first summer internship in AM. I have no previous industry experience.

The only somewhat-related activity that I did was investing in cryptos for a couple of years during my undergraduate. I did not day trade, but I focused on choosing niche cryptos with a high potential for community growth and investing in them for the medium term (medium term for the crypto world... that is 6 months to 1 year usually). I was pretty successful, I did 3 very nice investments and I went from 100€ to around 20k€ in 2/3 years.

I am not a crypto bro AT ALL, and I fear that including this activity on my resume could give a wrong impression of me. On the other hand, I have 0 relevant experience and this could pad my resume a bit.

What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for any opinion or suggestions, and have a nice day :)

Edit: This was automatically moved to the crypto forum but I think the job advice would be more appropriate
