It can only be given as a % of your portfolio.
I would say 30-50% would be fair for holding long term. 50% is pretty adventurous imo.

The problem with bitcoin is that, as it goes up so does it's % of the portfolio. I find myself at 50% now and i think that is way too much.

I also don't want to sell...

how many BTC is a good amount
for a long holding position? 100? 250? 500? 1000+?

for a long term holder i'd say hold on to as many as you can but DO take some off the table...

for a initial investment i'd say 100%! of what you can afford to lose.....

Get as many as you can. There will be a point in time where owning an entire Bitcoin is an accomplishment.

Basically this.

Go for 2.1
Then go for 21
Then go for 210 if you think you can...etc

Divide 21 million by how many you hold. The resulting number you can say you own one piece out of that many pieces of the global Bitcoin economy. Technically it is 12m divided by your current holdings.

If you truly believe in Bitcoin, less than 10 would be enough to retire on, if you're young enough. (35-40)

24 million.. wait, that would make my bitcoins worth close to nothing Tongue

100 coins sounds reasonable for a long hold. if it reaches $10k within 2-3 years, that's $1 million.. not enough to retire though.

More if you can afford it

Agreed.

The gold standard for how much you should buy?

"As much as you possibly can"

and

"As much as you're willing to completely lose".

Put those together, primarily the 2nd one, and you'll probably be rich.

I'd say those silkroad seized coins would probably do it for me.

1% of all the bitcoins (210,000) would be nice, but I think it is no longer achievable by anyone but the super-rich.
1% of 1% of all the bitcoins (2,100) is a good goal if you are wealthy and can get there quickly before the exchange rate goes up too much.
1% of 1% of 1% of all the bitcoins (21) is achievable by many people now, but maybe not next year.
1% of 1% of 1% of 1% of all the bitcoins (0.21) will be a good goal for someone getting in next year.
