50% is too high given the riskiness of Bitcoin.
Most planners recommend 0.5-1% in bitcoins.
he said 50% saved not invested in bitcoin, you are looking for 25% and i find 25% about right in bitcoin, but actually i would save only 33% max(50% is too much just for saving), the rest invested in bitcoin and something else(not gold), maybe i'll wait for bitcoin stocks)
So what college guy doesnt need to save his hard earned money? Atleast a family guy has 2 incomes of his wife too.
But a college guy usually lives on his own income and sometimes gets help from parents, so whatever he can save in those "golden years" its better if he saves it better.
I say 15% bitcoin, 15% gold , 50% silver and rest some big stocks that get inflated from QE money.
I know a lot of guys basically paying 0 expenses (they get paid internet, paid gas for the car, paid food.. literally everything). These guys can afford doing crazy shit like putting 100% on Bitcoin or even in some promising crypto project and wait to see what happens. Because if they lose the money they'll get more next month.
