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.

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). |

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.

If you count my GPUs that haven't paid for themselves yet, about 50% Trust me when I say you're never going to make a profit if you deduct all expenses made before you even began mining bitecoins. 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. |

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. |
