He said no more than 5% of my portfolio should go into crypto. Sounds about right. It seems to volatile.

Again, who do you use? If you are sitting on 100k of powder you need a new person immediately

I'm sitting on 100k because I hoarde money because I'm so afraid to lose it to bad investments. Too many stories of people losing money including family members.
I use a guy at prudential.

5% feels right. I'm very anti cash in general for myself and anyone who's still in the wealth accumulation stage.

I am. I already have about 50000 invested in some low to medium risk stocks.

I'll probably just keep playing it safe with bonds and Lower risk investments. I'll do about 5000 in bitcoin and see where that takes me.

I don't see the use case for holding any gold at all.

Ahhh. But you don't pay storage costs right? You just keep them in your house?

No storage fees - keep it with a bunch of other stuff including watches, sports memorabilia too.

So I told my advisor to put 50000 into s&p500, use about 10000 for higher risk stuff then putting like 5000 into bitcoin.
