What sold me on Bitcoin wasn't the strength of bitcoin itself, but the weakness of gold.

Bitcoin is an incredible store of value (albeit volatile). Being able to store a huge amount of assets in an inflation resilient trust-free resource that can't be faked is incredibly useful.

The other thing that sells me on it is the institutional buy in. At this point, nough rich people are going to lose big if bitcoin doesn't succeed. So, I find it unlikely that politicians and bureaucracy will purposely limit it.

That being said, I wouldn't invest more than 20% of my portfolio into crypto. It is far too volatile to put in anymore than that.
