Poll: What percent of your portfolio is stored in Bitcoin/Crypto

[pawel7777]

Quick Monday poll for the good start of the week.

I've heard a few crypto-friendly financial experts saying that everyone should have at least 10% of their investment portfolio located in crypto. Lets find out how this looks for this forum.

Rules:

• Bitcoin and all other crypto should be considered but excluding fiat-pegged stablecoins.
• Retirement funds and value of residential properties should not be included in equation, but any investment properties should.
• Vote changing allowed

You can lie in the comments, but try to be truthful in the poll, it's anonymous after all
Feel free to comment whether you're comfortable with the level of your current crypto holdings, or do you plan to increase/decrease it.

About 10-20% of my portfolio in bitcoin investing does not include altcoins although that is included at the moment I am only focusing on bitcoin.

I will not put all my investment in crypto I have other considerations that are more important for long term stability even though bitcoin is the same but I have other better plans about investing in property, gold, other assets.

Of course I'm still very happy with my current bitcoin holdings especially seeing the market is recovering which continues to climb, I still plan to add as many bitcoins as possible in this DCA way it will never stop if I can still put dollars in bitcoins.
So at least more bitcoins will be my dream before reaching ATH again.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should not be placed in the same category since it would be like asking how much stocks and penny stocks you own. Even that is not the best example since even penny stocks have some utilities while altcoins have none!

In any case, I do not own or bag hold any altcoins even though I may trade them during their pump and dumps.
I have said it before that majority of my portfolio is bitcoin which is a high percentage, that sometimes makes me uncomfortable since I feel like I haven't diversified enough into other markets

[michellee]

My portfolio for bitcoin and altcoins right now seems to be between 35%-55% and the rest is a portfolio of lots of altcoins and some older coins still waiting to get pumped when the altcoin season comes back. I also still have stablecoins that I will use to buy more bitcoins when the correction comes to add to the amount I currently have.

Actually, I'm not comfortable with this altcoin because I bought some altcoins when the price was still in the middle and had not fallen too deep. And I wonder whether the altcoin I bought can still increase or not at all. But if that altcoin can't increase again in the next altcoin season, I can't do anything but just wait.

About 20% of my savings is in bitcoin.

Nothing in altcoins, stocks, gold or anything else. I think all these other stuff are garbage assets that are constantly being manipulated by insiders.
Since I know bitcoin has no insiders and is just a computer program that can't be manipulated by anyone it is the only thing that allows me to sleep well at night.

>60% deployed in various cryptocurrencies that I personally think would outperform BTC. The rest, in fiat and in stablecoins(so I can buy easier and faster). And yes, while there could be more downward price movement, I can take the hit as I'm 100% in spot, and that I have income to increase my buying power.

[Aanuoluwatofunmi]

Even though it is said that not all your live savings should be invested on a particular asset at once, there's beed for diversification as all eggs shouldn't be on the same basket, therefore it's always good to have a higher percentage of the investment made on a profitable asset like bitcoin and in my case I've been maintaining a steady capacity flow of 70 to 80% in bitcoin and I don't do other cryptos than bitcoin alone, because that's the only recognized asset i see deserving my investment having lower risk than other.

[Vampobit]

Actually I have a retirement fund, in which I am invested in ETFs, but bitcoin is not allowed in it (at least in my country, I don't know about yours).

Since retirement fund doesn't count, I would say 100% BTC. I used to own some ETH but I fully transitioned to Bitcoin since I realised how superior it is to anything else. I have been down the shitcoin rabbit hole but now I am totally cured. Bitcoin is like a commodity, but fully upgraded. Every other crypto-related invention so far is a security.

[UserU]

My portfolio is 55 - 75%, others are alts that are just sitting and accumulating interests while prices are not worth selling yet.

[tbct_mt2]

Mostly my portfolio was in altcoins and many times I had 100% in altcoins. After learning my lesson many times, I realized that Bitcoin is the best and if you invest in cryptocurrency, Bitcoin should be your only one asset or a main asset for your portfolio.

Altcoins in bull runs or dead cat bounces can give higher profit but they are risky in downtrend. They can lose 90% to 99.9% of their values that you won't see in Bitcoin. In this bear market, I stored my capital in Bitcoin mainly (70%), stable coins (20%) and fiat currency (10%).

I need to have fiat currency for expenses or emergency. Stable coins help me to easily buy Bitcoin and cryptocurrency when I see opportunities.

[Plaguedeath]

I choose above 75% and all of them are in Bitcoin.

I don't think converting almost of my funds in Bitcoin is wrong, because stock isn't really performing good in my country and gold's volatility doesn't really high, also I'm not really familiar with gold.

I choose Bitcoin because I already understand about the whole advantage and know how to hold Bitcoin in really safe, Bitcoin also offer privacy if you understand to use it. In other asset, there's no way you can achieve privacy except Bitcoin.

[CryptounityCUT]

I think it is still risky to store your wealth on BTC, so I put my 35% in crypto - the majority is in BTC and ETH.

[pawel7777]

Disagree. Bitcoin not only IS a cryptocurrency, but it's a "poster boy" for the entire market. Therefore, by all means, it should be placed in the same category.
Just like with the stock market, you have a good stocks, and stocks that you shouldn't touch with 10 foot pole.

...
I have said it before that majority of my portfolio is bitcoin which is a high percentage, that sometimes makes me uncomfortable since I feel like I haven't diversified enough into other markets

Similar here, I don't hold majority of my wealth in BTC, but my exposure is still way higher than that recommended by *experts*. But, in my case, it just happened - as bitcoin appreciated in value, a small percent became significant. I just never bothered to re-balance my portfolio. And I probably won't be doing it now, during what might be the beginning of a new bull run

[boyptc]

Somewhere around 70%-80% now.

I've got encouraged to buy some ETH and that's the portion for the remainder of my entire portfolio. As much as I want to stick with bitcoin, I think that after the pow<->pos movement of ETH its demand is likely to have more.

If my conversion to ETH becomes profitable then it's nowhere to go but going to be back in bitcoin once again.

Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies should not be placed in the same category since it would be like asking how much stocks and penny stocks you own. Even that is not the best example since even penny stocks have some utilities while altcoins have none!

Given the differences that we like to think exists, bitcoin is very much a cryptocurrency like the rest of the altcoins and that is a definitive factor to place them in same category. Besides, there are some altcoins that have been known to stand out and offer securities so, it won't be the best of ideas to start creating categories over any little difference out there.
In that regard, am very much in agreement with the level of categorisation by OP.

I acknowledge cryptocurrency to be an innovation for the feature but still, I don't see it to hold all the opportunities that can make one have a much better life. It remains a field amongst many so, I hold a good enough number of my portfolio in cryptos and also look forward to increasing it when my available funds gives me the chance. Can't really place the percentage now so, I leave this to it.

I think it is still risky to store your wealth on BTC,

Its riskier to put your wealth in fiat, its value depreciates more in your bank.

I think that after the pow<->pos movement of ETH its demand is likely to have more.

Also, eth has become a true deflationary asset after the pos merge. Its best to have a eth and btc combo into your portfolio. However I believe its value is a bit overpriced right now compared against btc. ETH/BTC pair should fall to like 0.05-0.04 before moving up

[NotATether]

Pretty much all of my money is in Bitcoin. True maximalist here.

(no, I don't really have a choice in that matter. I have a traditional "brick-and-mortar bank", but the currency valuation is so low that I hardly bother to do anything with it. And of course, I don't use it for anything online, in fact it is used quite rarely. So Bitcoin remains my preferred storage option.)

[buwaytress]

It's all Bitcoin, been that for at least just the year running up to ATH. Did some spring cleaning after 2017 ATH and was left with a handful of alts, ETH and even Doge and whatever else I wasted my life and time on. Liquidated everything I didn't want to keep or simply chucked out wallets (to my chagrin at least one proved to be of value later).

Fast forward to personal emergency circa 2020/21 and I had to really let go of a lot. That's when everything not Bitcoin went first.

Still have very little of multiple coins in my Ethereum wallet of course, but it's just for transactions and what not because most services I use tend to throw me a mix of this and that.

I haven't updated my exact portfolio since October of last year. But I think my bitcoin and altcoins are about 55% to 75% of my total investment portfolio. And it might continue to grow in my portfolio since I am buying bitcoin monthly as part of my DCA plan. And maybe some of my altcoins will make a sudden increase in price like x10. But I am trying to have a strict approach to buying more altcoins for now since the real bull run is yet to happen next year.

The local stock market in my country sucks big time. It performed worse than some of my altcoins at the top 50 mcap. I'd been planning to transfer them into crypto since last year and maybe I should give it time to do it before bitcoin halving year.

Yes, that's right, Bitcoin should be a main asset in any wallet, as it is the safest and most reliable currency in the crypto arena. Even though I was previously interested in storing altcoins at a greater rate because they have higher chances of achieving profits, but also the percentage of risk in their investment is high because they may fail or go below zero when any recklessness occurs from their teams. Now my wallet contains the highest percentage of bitcoin 75% and 15% of the promising altcoins do not include meme coins, and 10% of stablecoins such as USDT/BUSD in order to freeze profits and keep some liquidity from my capital away from the market volatility.
