Until I am seeing this idea of 25%, I had been continuing to assert that a 1% to 10% allocation into bitcoin in terms of your what you calculate to be your quasi-liquid investment portfolio would be more than sufficient to provide some kind of hedge against what seems to be going on regarding various dollar-based bubbles that are likely quite problematic in terms of the preservation of your monetary wealth.

And, now upon reflection, I am thinking that it is possible that I have not personally moved up with the times and adapted my recommendation sufficiently to the events of the past couple of years, and surely even in late 2014, I had already come up with a personal allocation authorization of 10%, and I even ended up going over my allocation to about 13.5%, and that was late 2014 and even into late 2015 that I allowed myself to overallocate that much into bitcoin....

So, hey, bitcoin does not really seem to be anything even close to as risky as it was in that timeframe of late 2014 to late 2015 when I was batting around ideas regarding what kinds of allocations might be acceptable for normies (which would be the 1-10% recommendation levels), and surely I did not consider myself as a complete normie, and I considered myself to be a wee bit more bullish on the topic of bitcoin due to ongoing studying of the bitcoin space for 1-2 years during that period of time....so in that regard, I had justified and authorized myself to go beyond my own authorization (of course, implicitly I had authorized myself to go beyond 10% through my own actions of investing 13.5%-ish) and the recommendations that I was then beginning to give to others.

So now that I see your iteration of 25%, I am thinking that on a personal level I do see the 25% to be a bit enticing in terms of how much might any normie might be justified to put at risk as compared to the potential rewards, and maybe many of us might start to be inclined to recommend such levels of something like up to 25% for normies, just to highlight the mainstreaming aspect of bitcoin as an investment vehicle.

Of course there have always been people who have come into this space and suggested that normies should be going "all in" bitcoin, and that has never really rested well for me, even though I never had any problems with guys going beyond my initial 1-10% allocations after they had gained some knowledge of the topic, and sure some people can become really bold in what they are doing, so presumably each of have discretion to figure out our own risk tolerances and attempt to hone our finances and psychology with such risk tolerance assessments. 

By the way, at various points prior to March 2020, I do recall mindrust asserting that he was well over 40% in bitcoin, and frequently I would tell him that he needed to be careful regarding how much he was allocating into bitcoin because sometimes he would show some of his tendencies towards getting worked up upon some of the BTC price drops, which only seemed to show that he had been overinvested both financially and psychologically, and surely based on his revelations of his March 2020 behaviors, I tend to suspect that he was even quite a bit more invested into bitcoin than the more than 40% that he had previously mentioned.... anyhow the point is that any of us has to be careful when we are allocating a lot into bitcoin and not really making sure that our various fiat expenses and cashflows are not sufficiently figured out.

After all of that rambling, I have just decided that from here on out, I am going to start to recommend 1% to 25% allocation for normie newbies into bitcoin.  Of course, they can figure out for their lil selfies where they might fall into the range or if they might feel that they are able to venture outside of the range, so the punchline is that sometimes there needs to be changes to recommendation and talking points based on changes in overall bitcoin dynamics (which may also include some macro-factors), and don't get me wrong.  I make a recommendation and I take absolutely no responsibility over individual choices to figure out their own finances, so don't come crying to me, you little whiney asses, if you have not figured out the sufficient psychological and financial level that is appropriate to you specifically in terms of where you might fall upon the 1% to 25% initial allocation spectrum that I am going to ongoingly start to recommend to normie newbies to bitcoin.  You heard it here first, you fucks....  special thanks to Phil_S..  #nohomo hahahahaha.
