That is not a bad idea but if you were doing good with the whole stock thing then I would not give it up for Bitcoin. You can also choose to do both.
If you do both you can make money on both platforms which is even better because you have more sources of income then.

You can hedge 50/50 if you like, but  be aware that if either your btc or your stocks go to the moon you will only realize 50% gainz....
I think stocks are going to take a hammering, I am fairly sure holding btc would be the better deal overall but we all have different tolerances to risk /Reward ratio and time frames...
yes I totally agree it will prevent you from losing a lot of money when one of the investments lose money and that's when the words that can be from one of the books I read about how to invest properly Smiley

Also the ratio can be fine adjusted, not necessary 50-50, you may go 25% bitcoin, 75% stock. As long as you are comfortable with the ratio.  GBTC today has over 70^ premium over sport price, and it stays in this level I am very impressed.

it is all about diversification.

You can do that if you want to but you will to think twice before you make a move like that because it is not sure that Bitcoin is going to pay off.
If you are doing good with your stocks then I suggest that you should do them both.

In the long term, if you buy 1 bitcoin now, it will be $1000000 in a few decades. In short term, the price is not known.

And how are you so sure of that? Anyway, if you really believe the price to go up that much, then start buying yourself all the coins that you can at current prices. You'll be a multi millionaire.

Yes. I have bought some bitcoin in 2013 and bought more when there was a price drop. I have also spent some.

I don't think it's a good idea to ever be 100% in with anything. You'd be wise to diversify & spread your investments & equity among several different ways/methods.

Why not just hold some of the bitcoin for a few years? It could have a big increase or maybe double in a few years. There may be more potential gain with bitcoin but also there is some risk.

of course it is better not to just put all your money into bitcoins right now, anything might happen to the price, if i were you i would put only the money i can afford to lose

Holding now is one of the best and most wise things to do. If you are new you will see bitcoin can give you more profit then traditional stocks, but there is no guarantee so I would advice to diversify your money too.

Agreed. I'm heavily invested in BTC for the long term, but I could never let it be 100% of my assets. My cold storage is generally a solid 25-30% though. Then I have another ~20% on exchanges, in either $ or BTC depending on the current picture. ~20% in gold and silver. My 401k is in growth funds and commodity indexes and is ~15%. The rest is in cash assets / CDs.

Bitcoin should only be part of your investment, not all. The moment you go all in your money is at risk. There is no situation where you should jeopardize your money.
Some money in stocks, some money in a savings account and some money in bitcoin. That's how i have set up my assets.  If Plan A fails I always got a Plan B.

That's what i also would

that's right. although i suggest that for any kind of investment because going all in is never a good idea because losing means losing big time.
on the other hand i sometimes feel like it may be a good idea to go all in bitcoin at some point (not always) and make the biggest profit in short term and then take out the extra money and continue with the smaller amount.

You should not keep all your eggs in a one basket too. Its good to have multiple investments.

He did not say you should spend all your money to buy the bitcoin. He just said to hold the bitcoin for the long term.

I find it wrong to sell your stock portfolio to go all in for bitcoin.
Bitcoin is a currency with lots of potential, but so are most stocks. Having both would be the best possible option.

The price is finding a balance, I would advise buying if for the long term.
You should not keep all your eggs in a one basket too. Its good to have multiple investments.

He did not say you should spend all your money to buy the bitcoin. He just said to hold the bitcoin for the long term.
Yes hold the coins you have as price is going to rise sure, also don't sell all your coins, spend few for your expenses and invest a few also have savings in the remaining.
