Outside perspective needed: I have ~$100K in crypto (long story but have been DCA in ETH since 2017). It’s now getting to 25% of my liquid net worth - when does it make sense to sell (if at all).

I’m 27M and single (so I guess my risk appetite is quite high). I just have little investing experience and only invest in low-cost ETFs other than this.

Unless you're investing in DOGE, you're not a real crypto investor. To the moon!

I started out with 25% of my portfolio in crypto and now it’s grown to 90%. I agree with PWC1. If most of it is growth, continue doing what you’re doing

I think C1 is right - isn’t that the current risk right now?

But much of that is due to growth right ? It’s not like you stopped investing in other mediums. I’d say keep doing what you’re doing. If you can’t handle a pull back then withdraw your initial investment.

25% of your portfolio is a bit high in my opinion.

In 2017 my thesis was about 5% of your portfolio should be in crypto.

I increased that to 10% in 2019. I’m comfortable between 15 to 20% now depending on the crypto.

Are you the warren buffet of ether or something?

If you can live with the volatility let it ride - as in, can you handle a 50% draw down? If not, cut it down to a level you’re more comfortable with. You’re young and have a s great NW for your age, so taking some risk here is fine - as long as the other 75% is less risky...

Regardless, don’t invest anymore.

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.
