Even for a conservative investor, a 1% portfolio investment could produce 30 to 50% of your total gains for the entire year. I don't see how you can not at least own some cryptocurrencies.

Since it's entirely global, the space could very well grow to $5-10tn before crashing down to $1-3tn. We're at $730bn now. The dot-com bubble, which was US focused, went up to $6.7tn before coming back down to $1.7tn.

For me, 5% of my future retirement contributions are in cryptocurrency. Rebalancing is obviously tricky since it's so volatile but that's the general target I hit, and the remainder of my portfolio has shifted to be more bond-heavy as a result of the additional risk. This suits my current lot in life but may not be for everyone.
