The variance in potential outcomes of holding VOO is much, much lower than the variance of holding crypto.

Buying VOO buys a share of the profits of the work of many millions of people. It also speculates that other people will continue to want to buy those profits.

Buying a token only speculates that more people will want to buy that particular token. It's much harder to project that people will continue to want it.

Oh yes. So that's why half-half.

A risk parity approach would say more like 95% to 5%, but that works too.

Oh sure, one half can be bigger than the other half.
