As I said, I'm definitely a risk taker, it's either going to be Bitcoin or real estate, I'd prefer a mix of both though. 

Maybe not for my generation, or even a youngster like @Jay Hinrichs, but for the bitcoin investing/trading generation, it’s probably something they’ll have no problem going with.  

Also get me out of more debt/risk.I would put 100-150k into savings for a primary home for my familythen i would put 300k into Bitcoin...just kiddingThe rest of the money I would likely want to "work with".

Gold is similar to bitcoin; The metal itself has only the value that the markets think it has.

@Julio Gonzalez a lot of BiggerPockets members invested in cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin, over the last few years.

I used broker physical fuels...bad or new traders would treat rail cars or vessels of diesel like trading contracts/paper.

As you have mentioned in the past, you should not put more than 10-15% of your money in one investment - so if you have $500k and want to throw $50k ok - but it still hurts. if its your first and only 50k, there are plenty of other opportunities out there to get in the game for lessFor many - Goes back to greed and FOMO as well, last few years everyone and their brother wanted to jump in on the STR and MF space because of these great returns - no different than NFT's and bitcoin before that, but when something moves up quickly, it typically drops pretty quickly as well.

I am happy to see the strategy has worked so well for so many, but my question remains, what happens when it doesn’t work.As an options trader there is a saying when it comes to the many “strategies” pitched by gurus…it works until it doesn’t! 

Megan Luckily the math part isnt too high level just addition, subtraction, some mulitplication and division but we as a community can all help you through it.Leave the complicated math for the wall street quantative analysts and derivative traders.

For some, the answer may be to invest it all in bitcoin and sell in 20 years (not me).
