In general, many financial experts support their clientsâ desire to buy cryptocurrency, but they donât recommend it unless clients express interest. âThe biggest concern for us is if someone wants to invest in crypto and the investment they choose doesnât do well, and then all of a sudden they canât send their kids to college,â says Ian Harvey, a certified financial planner (CFP) in New York City. âThen it wasnât worth the risk.â The speculative nature of cryptocurrency leads some planners to recommend it for clientsâ âsideâ investments. âSome call it a Vegas account,â says Scott Hammel, a CFP in Dallas. âLetâs keep this away from our real long-term perspective, make sure it doesnât become too large a portion of your portfolio.â In a very real sense, Bitcoin is like a single stock, and advisors wouldnât 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 youâre passionate about it. âIf it was one stock, you would never allocate any significant portion of your portfolio to it,â Hammel says.
Bitcoin is a decentralized digital currency that you can buy, sell and exchange directly, without an intermediary like a bank. Bitcoinâs creator, Satoshi Nakamoto, originally described the need for âan electronic payment system based on cryptographic proof instead of trust.â Each and every Bitcoin transaction thatâs ever been made exists on a public ledger accessible to everyone, making transactions hard to reverse and difficult to fake. Thatâs by design: Core to their decentralized nature, Bitcoins arenât backed by the government or any issuing institution, and thereâs nothing to guarantee their value besides the proof baked in the heart of the system. âThe reason why itâs worth money is simply because we, as people, decided it has valueâsame as gold,â says Anton Mozgovoy, co-founder & CEO of digital financial service company Holyheld.
