1.3%. I'm old so I have a lot in real estate and retirement accounts.
I love the old folks who take the time to understand bitcoin!

Switch a part of those fiat (hyperinflation doomed) investment to bitcoins !!!
Real estate is not an investment in fiat and not likely to be hyperinflation doomed, those properties would just be worth $1,000,000,000 instead of their original $500,000. And likely the same scenario for the investment accounts, assuming our friend here has made some wise decisions for those accounts. His interest in bitcoins suggests that he did
But more bitcoins is always always a good idea.

I have been telling everyone I know about Bitcoin since I first heard about it in 4/'01.
what is 4/'01? i have no idea how to interpret that.
It clearly means April of 2001. Oh, wow, that must mean that Steamboat is Satoshi! (Or maybe Satoshi stole the idea of bitcoin from Steamboat?)

I started about a year ago at about 20% and am now up to about 85% due to both increasing my amount of fiat injected in and appreciation. I am relatively young still and I know this is a once in a lifetime opportunity, so I am comfortable with starting over if it explodes because the possible benefit is just too high.

That strategy of saving for things in related products makes a lot of sense. Too bad you're just trading paper that has a nonzero chance of being unwound in a nasty fashion.
Hey, that's markets. It's not like the Bitcoin I keep on Mt. Gox to trade with is any safer. 
Fair enough. I don't keep any funds on an exchange longer than I need to, but I don't daytrade anymore.

I'm buying at market price, each10 to 15 days, with each and every dollar I can !
Will sell 1/3 @ 100 --- 1/3 @ 1000 and keep the rest to spend as BTC

The asset value of my house is enough negative to cancel out all other assets, lol.
You should burn it down and claim insurance LAL

About 20-25%.
I'm long-term bullish on Bitcoin as a thing, but since it's still a foetal market, I know there's going to be all sorts of fluctuations on the way up, many of them severe.
So I keep enough Bitcoin (and fiat) in exchanges to profit from those fluctuations.
That said, I recognize that I might be too starstruck by the Bitcoin concept to properly determine its worth as an asset, so I haven't invested any more heavily than that - I prefer to put most of my savings into sectors that correspond to the things I'd like to buy with them eventually (e.g. I'm saving for a condo, don't want to lose buying power, so invest in REITs).

I keep like %50, but that is mostly because I use most of my paycheck for other things I need besides keeping a savings.

About 25%, but at least 70% of it comes from Bitcoin directly or indirectly.

Investments- 100%
Net worth minus student loans- 80%
I have been telling everyone I know about Bitcoin since I first heard about it in 4/'01. They all laughed at me when the market crashed (thankfully I chose the mining route instead of purchasing directly), but after last year many of them are starting to take a serious look at it. A friend of mine was an investment broker for ML and has been keeping an ever closer eye on it since August.
Also, do we include mining gear?
