I'd absolutely, without hesitation, dump the volatile one. If it can appreciate by 15 times in a year, then, clearly it can fall to a 15th of its value just the same.

I need to know that I can pay my mortgage and buy food at the end of the week, so stability is paramount.

Caveat: you are paid in the one that depreciates in value, and have to find other means to acquire the one that is volatile.
