Title: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC? Post by: FreeTrade on September 22, 2011, 06:25:04 AM I'll start -
1.5% of my savings is in BTC. Considering it as a new method of payment - it's revolutionary, solves many problems and removes many pain points. As an investment, it's a high risk / high reward vehicle. I tell friends it's a little like buying a lottery ticket, but with much better odds.

Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC? Post by: FreeTrade on September 22, 2011, 10:24:06 AM What are savings? Gosh, yes, that's worth a definition. Percentage compared against net worth is probably a better question. What's your approximate percentage of Bitcoin holdings (+rigs, btc related investments) compared to (Total Assets - Total Liabilities). Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC?

Oh...then 100% Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC? Post by: nmat on September 22, 2011, 01:57:52 PM If you are putting big quantities of money into Bitcoin (more than you need to buy stuff with it), then you are investing, not saving. You only invest what you can afford to lose, specially with high-risk stuff such as Bitcoin.

Anything more would just be silly. Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC?

Look at this way, its exactly what Milton Friendman said: "when you invest money to make more money, its a bet but you gotta be sure that bet is somehow better than a casino" and I totally agree with that. Still, even if you disregard (at your own risk!!) what Friendman said, you have utilities bills and costs to keep your rigs running. It costs a lot of monies and I don't see where the major profit's gonna be if bytecoins remain near their $5 level as we speak. Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC?

Just thought maybe you bought in when they were worth more. ;) Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC? Post by: bitconformist on September 22, 2011, 04:05:55 PM 15% in BTC, 25% in ETFs focusing on foreign stocks, 15% in the bank, 10% in gold, 10% in mint-condition MLP pez dispensers, and the rest in a mix of stocks.
Title: Re: What Percentage of Your Savings Do You Keep In BTC? Post by: badger4life on September 22, 2011, 04:16:45 PM I guess 100% since I don't have any savings, instead I have children ;D

Interesting . . . if BTC were to double in value tomorrow, would you rebalance? What if BTC increased 10-fold, it would represent about 90% of your portfolio then.
