Sagiv it depends upon your affordability. Everyone must save their wealth in form of bitcoins as its price may once again escalate tremendously. Only remember one thing that you must not invest more than what you can’t afford to lose as any form of trading you do holds a risk. By the way I have 30

12%-15% sounds good, the other 85% get diversified into real estate, metals, cash, physical assets, and other markets

I know it's a completely arbitrary question, but what number pops into your head?
I'm a newb and have just gotten up to 5 BTC and I'm proud to hit that number.

It used to be like a hundred BTC but now if you even have 1 BTC, because the value is so high, I think it's something to be proud of.

Successfully achieving stable containment of BTC0.01
I add further that holding a spendable amount is a good milestone. (Standalone amount of less than BTC0.0001 is currently unspendable)

I believe any amount is positive. It shows support for Bitcoin.
That's right, any ammount will do. Even 1BTC is a lot, it depends how old you are and where you live. In most countres 1BTC is more than minimal monthly wage. global moderator

Proud? WTF? Stinks of ego or ignorance. I know pedants can be a bore but I'm bored and wondered exactly what pride is as defined by OED.
From the Oxford English Dictionary at oed.com. (bold added by me)
proud, adj., n., and adv.
1. Having a high or exalted opinion of one's own worth or importance. Usually in a negative sense: disposed to feeling superior; having inordinate self-esteem; haughty, arrogant.
2. Of an action, a feeling, etc.: arising from or expressive of pride.
3. Feeling greatly honoured, pleased, or satisfied by something which or someone who does one credit; acutely aware of some honour done to oneself, taking pride in something. Also more generally (chiefly in early use): gratified, pleased, glad (now regional). Freq. with of, infinitive, or that-clause.
4. Having a sense of what befits, is due to, or is worthy of oneself or one's position; characterized by self-respect; feeling or showing a proper pride.
I'm not proud to own my bitcoins, but I'm definitely happy to be participating in something that could potentially revolutionize the world, esp. in poorer nations.

Haha, maybe 'smug' would be a better word:
smug (smg)
adj. smug·ger, smug·gest
Exhibiting or feeling great or offensive satisfaction with oneself or with one's situation; self-righteously complacent.

As much as you can afford to lose, which is by the logic I followed. Bitcoin is still very volatile. If you're putting fiat into bitcoin as a investment, try to see the longterm rather than possible short term gains. That said, I do have high hopes but do keep the risks in mind before you turn everything into BTC. 
Honestly don't even think about how many BTC you get, but rather how much it costs to get you so much if you're investing fiat into it. Probably a bit more healthy way to approach it even if reaching certain barrier of BTC might seem more psychologically satisfying.

5 BTC is good

As much as you can afford to lose overnight.. I beleive in a bright future for Bitcoin.. but it's like anything.. never invest more than you can afford to lose.. imo, within a decade, bitcoins will be more valuable for their purchasing power rather than their value in fiat currency.

Owning 1 bitcoin is a great achivement at this point. Soon it will be unreachable for most people.
Also, you're supporting the bitcoin movement with just one coin. If you already own 5, then you certainly have a good thing going for you! Keep it up.
Will do. Thank you!
