How to Use Bitcoin?
n the U.S. people generally use Bitcoin as an alternative investment, helping diversify a portfolio apart from stocks and bonds. You can also use Bitcoin to make purchases, but the number of vendors that accept the cryptocurrency is still limited. Big companies that accept Bitcoin include Overstock, AT&T and Twitch. You may also find that some small local retailers or certain websites take Bitcoin, but youβll have to do some digging. That said, PayPal has announced that it will enable cryptocurrency as a funding source for purchases this year, financing purchases by automatically converting crypto holdings to fiat currency for users. βThey have 346 million users and theyβre connected to 26 million merchants,β says Spencer Montgomery, founder of Uinta Crypto Consulting. βItβs huge.β
Should You Buy Bitcoin?
In general, many financial experts support their clientsβ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they donβt recommend it unless clients express interest. βThe biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesnβt do well, and then all of a sudden they canβt send their kids to college,β says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. βThen it wasnβt worth the risk.β The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clientsβ βsideβ investments. βSome call it a Vegas account,β says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. βLetβs keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesnβt become too large a portion of your portfolio.β In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldnβt recommend putting a sizable part of your portfolio into any one company. At most, planners suggest putting no more than 1% to 10% into Bitcoin if youβre passionate about it. βIf it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,β Hammel says.
