Granted you may be actively trading and planning on stopping out before taking a big loss, sure, but that whole approach is still not really "risk averse" as I would consider the term (in the sense of owning 25% metals, 25% land, etc.)
Correct, because stop losses are losses. They are not diversification.
Anyone who is risk adverse would have a portfolio of something like 25% physical cash, 25% metals, 25% land/rental properties, 25% btc.
Anyone who has more than 25% of their liquid network in crypto (and the rest in instantly illiquid assets such as gold, cash, and land since governments routinely cancel cash, apply capital controls to gold, and can raise taxes egregiously on land causing buyers to run away) at this stage of the imminent global liquidity squeeze as interest rates rise and with the risks of CC failure due to centralization, is either very poor already and gambling with lunch money, or is a high stakes gambler and not a prudent investor.
Stocks and bonds are out of the question right now
US stocks are one of the best and most liquid investments one can make for the timeframe through the end of 2017. You gain the benefit of a US dollar that will rise ~30% over that time frame compounded by a 50 - 200% rise in the stocks as the rest of the world piles into these two safe havens (dollar and US stocks denominated in dollars). The justification was explained in my upthread posts (which link off to the Martin Armstrong thread in the Economics forum which has more detail).
AAA-rated USA corporate bonds are also a similarly phenomenal investment right now for the same reasons. Governments' bonds should be avoided like the plague.
Edit: my subsequent post contemplates that the SLINGSHOT move may be delayed another 1.5 years depending on outcome of BREXIT vote.
