Sure I'm going to invest my retirement savings in a volatile, unregulated, digital crypto-currency that isn't even quantum proof. \s Hell the core developers can't even increase the transaction block size limit to save their lives. If I wanted to take a stupid gamble I'd just do it here in Vegas.

Might as well just take out your retirement assets and go gambling with them, probably would have the same end result.


Financial theory says that in order to have balanced and diversified portfolio (and not to have all your eggs in 1 basket) it may be a good idea to have up to 10% of your assets in more risky things with growth potential.


This seems like a really bad idea.


Maybe you're right. However, it may be a good idea to have small percentage of your assets in high risky / high reward alternative assets


Thanks for the hearty laugh.
