My target is to have 50% of my savings in BTC, so what do you think, is this a good strategy?

Why not put 100% in it? It all depends what you feel and think about the value and if you trust BTC in general...

probably, i have about 25% in just in case something crazy happens with bitcoin. But Im always looking to buy more. I just stiil see credible bitcoin enthusiast say it could go down to $300 or even $200 again. So Im waiting for that, if it happens. But it all depends on how much you have in savings i think. If you have 1000 in savings and you use 50%, $500 is a lot different than $1000. But if you have 100k, dropping down to 50k fluid isnt too much of a kick in the nuts. It helps not having a wife and kids. For, most bitcoin horror stories I read start off with, " Well, my wife/gf was complaining" and that usually is the beginning of their "why im still poor" bitcoin story.

How much risk are you comfortable with?

Do you need the money for any kind of payments? Emergencies?

Do you have stable income?

If tomorrow bitcoin dropped to $50, would you be ok with it, or would you panic and contemplate jumping out of your window?

If you are completely comfortable with the risk, then sure, put 50% of your savings in there, but if the thought of bitcoin dropping worries you, or if it may cause financial distress then no, it is not a good strategy!

Always diversify your portfolio! Unless you truly believe Fiat will crash (in which case you're going to have a lot more to worry about than having your money in BTC anyway), there is no reason to have an extremely large amount of your money in BTC.

Personally I keep 25-30% of my portfolio in BTC and other cryptocurrencies.

Around 1 months of casino visits, circa $1000USD

The rest of the coins were given to me on a laptop bequeathed to me unknowingly.

Discovered what a Wallet.dat was pretty quickly.

I'd say about 25%. Not much but I don't want to risk it all either.

99%, but 100% came from bitcoin in the first place.

I started with about 5% in btc before it grew to about 35%. I then cashed out a bit to cover the initial investment and a little extra. Currently I run about 10-15% but it changes from day to day. I would never say to go all in unless you are only playing with small amounts of money and are willing to lose it all.

bitbrasil you got a brilliant idea of storing the saving in form bitcoins. For sure saving 50% of your saving in bitcoin is a great strategy which shall multiply your savings many time in short period of time. I shall also start saving my hard earned money in bitcoins from January. Thanks for strategy.

Approximately 95%

Originally it was much less (like 20% when I started buying bitcoins) but as the rates went up, my amount of bitcoins now represent 95% of my wealth.

In theory, there's no difference between theory and practice. In practice, there is.

Go 5-10% of the money you don't need for living (of all your investment assets). That way you won't loose too much if something happens, but if BTC goes through the roof, you still participate a lot.

Anything more than 10% is craziness in my book and much too risky. Less then 5% - well, then you won't really win that much in case it suceeds; if you believe in it that little, then better not invest at all.

Of course, when the BTC price rises, it will represent a lot more % of your net worth - it is a good decision to sell off a little bit then (again, in chunks, 5-10% of your BTCs).

Are you saying that initially you didn't had any assets to start with? That will be unbelievable, as you need at least some to purchase your initial coins.  Grin

I'd say that maybe 5% of my savings are in BTC. I'm a late adopter and that's the only amount I was comfortable investing with (i.e. if it drops to 0, though impossible, I wouldn't want to shoot myself). I basically only invested "play money" anyways.

Maybe that percentage will grow over time but it won't be because I'll be injecting a lot more funds into BTC.
