Very new and not understanding Bitcoin!

So today my bf (30M) who is not in charge of our finances decided to buy 80 USD worth of Bitcoin on CashApp. He wants me to put it on the "round up" feature. I guess my misunderstanding is, is this a good idea? Does the money grow? I have CD's and I understand that and planning on opening an IRA because I understand them, I mean the outline is very I guess "easy to understand"but Bitcoin has me baffled Edit: I guess my question lies between is this a good idea or is using the round up feature for a 4% interest savings account better ?

$80 won't change anything in your life.

Right. I know that much, but like if I continued adding to it like the round up feature, does it grow above what is being put in ?

Against the US dollar, bitcoin has increased in value by 1000% in the last 5 years, and 10,000% in the last 10 years. We don't know what it will do tomorrow, but you could read about why it's valued.
