At present, the remaining digital currencies are still far from the influence of Bitcoin, and even if the bubble bursts, it will not happen in the near future. For me, I will control my investment in Bitcoin within the range that will not affect my daily life even if all losses.

To avoid been panic whenever bitcoin dumps in value the healthy amount of percentage should be 10% or 15%, this can make you hold for long term even if Bitcoin isn't in good shape because you invested only what you can afford to lose which I recommend everyone to do

Bitcoin is GOD
The reality is that we are all in a world where fiat is a lot more riskier than crypto and thats the truth. Sure bitcoin can go down a lot and crash, or it could go up a lot and skyrocket, but the reality is that as long as fiat gets less valuable, you are going to be upset about not having more crypto because when fiat becomes less valuable the price of bitcoin goes up.

Look at 2020, almost all nations printed some money and made so much more debt and that had to be one of the worst years for fiat ever, even stock market that went up didn't went up nearly enough and made anyone money, because fiat lost value so the money you got was less valuable than the previous year. What happened with bitcoin though? It went up over 4 times, actually closer to 7 times in a year, and that doesn't happen anywhere at all. That is why it is not risky, it is just requires patience.
The issue is that governments have control of the media and they also know very well the psychology of people, when people see the price of bitcoin going down relatively quickly they get nervous but if you look at the chart of bitcoin over the years you can see it only goes up.

Fiat behaves in the opposite way, it may not seem to move much on the short term but over the long term it only goes down in value against the products and services you can buy with it, and people simply do not see this, so for people like us that care about the long term bitcoin is the superior choice but most people are blind to this.

Risk factors ?

Actually, every investor knows that all types of investment have risks even though the risks they face are different. There is no investment without risk and that is the main point.
At least I already know that there are many risks faced by real estate investor and maybe 10 points more. On the other hand, the profit obtained by real estate investor also depend a lot on how they are managed.

The risk of investing in bitcoin or crypto becomes an obstacle for people who don't like to play with big risks. Its unstable price is one of the factors that makes some people uninterested. In addition, the risk crypto investors have to face is security as it is likely that all crypto assets stored in the wallet will be lost or stolen due to one small mistake. But a big profit for those who dare to take big risks too.
Risk factors could be one true, but I do not see bitcoin as risky at all, because I am a long term investor, I am not planning on selling it until I retire or I can buy some shop with it, I have no intend to run that said shop, I just want to buy it and rent it to someone else (I do not like homes, they are way too much work, shops handle their own problems and only pay you).

I have thought about why I feel like real estate gives me more comfort and it is not about risk, I think it is about ease of ownership. Bitcoin is something we still have trouble explaining to people, even to ourselves and we check it every 5 minutes how it is doing, but with real estate you just say "this is mine" and that's it, from that point on that is yours and it is simple, it has no complex idea behind it, you just show that to the world.

Is it a worse investment than bitcoin? Yes. However it is at least there for you to see and touch if you want, I want something physical to be frank, that is the reason I think.

Because bitcoin is the most valuable, safest and most profitable coin.  I will spend 65/100% of my money on steak on bitcoin.  15% for ETH, 5% for TRX.  And 10% for a new Defi project or to start a hot trend.  Get ready for your plan, the bulls could run faster this year.  Hopefully the value of bitcoin will break through the $ 50k in Q2.

will only try 5% of my assets to invest in bitcoin, because I like to play slowly and walk every step of the way. currently in bitcoin is like speculation, yes even though bitcoin will definitely experience a big bubble but at that time it is not yet certain when and what percentage of bitcoin experiences this

Irrelevant title to the content you said in your post.
Yeah but he might have been wanting to ask whether people are still keeping Bitcoins or more enthusiastic about upcoming tokens. I think while the bullrun is going on it is no-brainer that BTC is better to trade and hold but once the bull run has ended I am more lean towards the altcoins because the growth altcoin witness is huge.

It depends on everyone's income source so we can't conclude that certain percentage is enough to invest on cryptocurrencies.IMHO the middle class people likes to invest on real estate more than the speculative assets so if you are from such class then better invest 50% from your savings money to bitcoin after every pay cheque.
The real question should be how much of our crypto wealth is in BTC and how much we hold in ALTS, I know not everyone can afford to invest big into crypto but what I am wondering is how much faith people have in BTC and how much they trust the other tokens in the market.

Personally, right now I am saving more bitcoins than tokens because the bull run is again going to continue anytime soon, it has paused sort of recently but I am adamant that another bullrun is near the corner.

As for me 30% of my assets is what I'm willing to take risks with, this is the exact amount I can afford to lose, I know bitcoin is very strong and also have a better future than other valuable assets out there but we can't be too sure what tomorrow may bring, one have to be cautious

If you are capable of sparing that amount of percentage then you can keep your assets for longer time, 30% is really high and once

you successfully holds your investment that might bring you a better future ahead, Bitcoin already proved that holding for longer time

frame might provide a much higher appreciation.

Bitcoin, despite what altcoins make it out to be, is still a profitable asset and a must-have in every crypto investor's portfolio, regardless if its price went up the hundred thousands. You might be asking why, well simply because out of all the coins in the market, bitcoin provides better security than most of them, of course in terms of being active in the market. So you have little chance of going wrong with bitcoin, whether it be up or down. Combine this with DCA and you're unstoppable!

Regarding the total wealth I have, I have invested 50% in Bitcoin, the rest I have invested in Gold and a few stocks market. Maybe if Bitcoin
manages to hit $ 100k this year according to the target I set, then the profit I get from Bitcoin I will use for investing in real estate.
I would have invested half of my wealth if i knew beforehand that the price of bitcoin would rally like this from the beginning, even though i invested in bitcoin i did not expect a rally like this in a short period of time. I do invest in stock market but only a percentage of my asset and i did all that for the long term. I already invested in real estate a long time ago and hence i am not planning to invest anything further but i was planning to sell one of my property to invest in bitcoin last year but the pandemic messed up my plan.

The Standard Protocol - Solving Inflation
Well, talking about investing in bitcoin, you should know that investing in bitcoin (hodling) is a rather good investment considering how bitcoin has managed to increase in price over the years.
Hodling comes with low risk. Buy some bitcoins and hold them for a long time until there's a significant amount of profits.
I'd invest about 50% of my total assets in bitcoin. Invest some in gold and real estate. That way, I am sure of making significant profits in a few years.
I think the only risk involved with buying and hodling bitcoin is security. If you're able to secure your coins well, then you're good to go.

It's considered high risk investment for a reason and I always keep my asset maybe around 20% or below in form of cryptos more specifically bitcoin but man this time around that was dumbest thing I've ever did considering all the pumps but then again it's high-risk investment no one know for sure.

But i'm still gonna diversify my asset across many investment instruments just in case and I don't really like keeping thing in one place despite the crypto pump that made me kinda regret not having additional asset in crypto.
The reality is that we are all in a world where fiat is a lot more riskier than crypto and thats the truth. Sure bitcoin can go down a lot and crash, or it could go up a lot and skyrocket, but the reality is that as long as fiat gets less valuable, you are going to be upset about not having more crypto because when fiat becomes less valuable the price of bitcoin goes up.

That is awesome but if I had enough money, I would have invested into real estate as well instead of cyrpto even though I know crypto is a better investment. Why do people like you and me think this way? Do you have any idea?

Knowing that Cryptocurrency is included in a high-risk type of investment, of course, I will not make a lot of investment in all of my investment assets for Cryptocurrency. price madness can occur but we are talking for future assets and it would be nice if we are channeled into some other assets that can compensate for the fluctuation of the crypto market. currently 15% of my  investment is in cryptocurrency and this is final every month I set aside the money I work for Crypto. even then I broke into Bitcoin and Altcoin

I'm not a person who thinks too far ahead, so don't dare to speculate whether in the future there will be a few more Bitcoins. I can not answer and do not dare to confirm, because I am more focused on my plans to increase the assets that I have. Then with the possibility that the Bitcoin bubble price this year will burst, it doesn't seem like it will happen, because the Bitcoin price correction is still not too far away. For now the Bitcoin price is still stable above the price of $ 30,000. I predict that February should at least be back at $ 40,000 again.
Real estate is like some dream for many people, including me, why is that like that? I mean looking at crypto I feel like it is a much better investment than buying a place isn't it? When you buy let's say a condo and rent it out, you both get money from the rent if your renter is decent but also your condo gets valued higher and higher with time (inflation) so yeah I am not arguing like that is a bad one, it is definitely a great thing to invest into real estate.

However crypto made 4x just this year, even more when you consider the bottom, from bottom to peak was 10x, nobody makes that kind of return but let's say 4x from start of last year to now. That is awesome but if I had enough money, I would have invested into real estate as well instead of cyrpto even though I know crypto is a better investment. Why do people like you and me think this way? Do you have any idea?

Bitcoin is GOD
From a classical point of view it would be about 5%.

However, you'll probably find people in this forum who hold more. If you have a deep knowledge of what Bitcoin is and you believe in its future you can have a much higher percentage of that. It depends on your personal situation and total net worth as well. If you have virtually nothing, not even a paid-off house or some equity on it, it's too risky to have 95% of your total wealth in Bitcoin. But if you have a couple of houses and some other assets that  will make you live comfortably even if the worst omens about Bitcoin come true, you can have a very high % of your net worth in Bitcoin.
Depending on the size of your capital this could be even lower as there are people so rich that 1% is good enough for them, however this allocation is a just to be safe kind of investment, it is recommended to those that invest in traditional assets and that low percentage is used as an insurance policy in the case that everything goes to hell.

But for the people that are not interested in stocks and other markets then it is obvious that their asset allocation is going to be way higher than that, and this is more true if we consider that bitcoin was the investment of the previous decade and it seems this one is also going to be a good one.

To be honest, I would only invest 15% of my total assets into this technology. Not because I don't see how profitable this technology as an investment, but simply because, I am aiming for a more consistent profit from an investment. The profit is indeed big in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies but to how I look the risk, I guess I would more prefer' slow but sure profit in which I am getting from other assets and investments I am having in real life. The patten in my opinion is more visible in real estate investment than crypto investment. But I won't hide the fact that profit is bigger from my crypto investments, and can be earned in a shorter period of time.

Over the course of 6 years, I have probably put something like 10% of my old fiat currency savings into bitcoin and that has probably been the best and soundest choice I could have made with my hard-earned money.
So true and I wish I could do that. I was watching a video which I wish I saw earlier because this  guy is spot on - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cw29h7LhEuE&t=161s

But I have no regrets either because I came into crypto decently early and I have only positive memories and balance in crypto so there is nothing I should regret about. I made a habit of buying some Bitcoins every time I save some money from my salary or when I get any kind of funds like interest and others.

It sounds crazy but 100k is within reach and more realistic now than ever before so not going to sell my coins anytime soon and while I don't suggest or buy myself at $30k+ but the actual worth of Bitcoins is even more and if you still buy you can double or triple your money.
