Reading a story from a few years ago where someone invested all their life savings into Bitcoin and started to live off Bitcoin. that guy was a lucky guy as now the price as more than tripled to when he invested in it. Anyone else brave enough to do this?

it needs allot of bravery to actually do this, bitcoin price isn't that stable currently and another dive in price is possible. The guy who bought them before made a good win but this isn't guaranteed at all.

Nobody here is stupid enough to invest his/her life savings in Bitcoin... If you need to invest your life savings Coinye is a way to go. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coinye

I think it has no problems invest 1% of their monthly income in bitcoins.

10% of everything you save or 5 to 10% of your overall savings. It depends on what risk you are willing to take and what risk you think you are taking when you buy BTC.

96% bitcoin saving economies.
4% in bank (month stupid invoices).

not too bad ... 1 year to convert all (1/8 at 500 euros, 7/8 at 300 euros).

If you believe that bitcoin will survive and be widely adopted long term, why would you hold other currencies?

Because, in the offline world, a lot of merchants have not yet heard of Bitcoin. So, if I need to buy something from them, I need to have FIAT in possession. Sad, but true, the internet population is still less than the non-internet population across the globe.

So convert only what you need to spend into fiat

I put $750k into bitcoin this year, bought at $650 :-(

It's only 15% of my net worth tho .. the rest I have in VERY secure investment.

stealing other peoples coins doesn't count as investing

this guy needs to go down. He stole $80k from some dude. Check the scam acusations.

Theft.

Just did the math, I have 10% of my net worth in cryptos.
That's 10% of not very much, mind you... Wink

10% is an acceptable amount of risk for most asset allocations.

I have 0.5% of my net worth.
Real estate really skews the allocation.

Keep 21 for long term so that you can say that you have 1 millionth of all bitcoins.

Spend/invest/use the rest.

Work on getting to 1 100,000th.
