I dunno, Ben....to me, bitcoin is comparable to gold & silver in terms of value risk, though different in that the metals provide one with a physical holding that, hopefully, will retain some exchange value in years ahead....The risk, from what I see, with cryptos is the threat of the PTB and esp. Big Banks pressuring their congressional lackeys to outlaw that form of 'money' as it were -- in other words, making the cryptos both illegal and, ultimately, worthless....There seems to be ongoing losses due to hackers, as well, which certainly makes one nervous about the validity of their holdings, wouldn't you say? Personally, for that $20K you mentioned, I'd rather have 10-oz. of Eagles instead of some digits in a "wallet"....
