Like many of you, I've been watching in shock as crypto continues to rally.

To me, Bitcoin reflects populist trends: distrust of institutions, a thirst for risk, and a sense of isolation from the current system. Many view it as a revolution and a chance to participate in a new economy.

While I agree with some aspects of the Bitcoin thesis—scarcity, an anonymous creator—I tend to follow my mentor Warren Buffett’s advice and approach it conservatively and avoid. However, there’s an increasing likelihood that Bitcoin could surge even further, regardless of its utility or fundamentals. As frustrating as it is that a entirely fictional coin can explode in value, I find this outcome increasingly plausible given current populist trends.

So, is it foolish to allocate 1-5% of one's portfolio in case this revolution continues?

How is everyone else approaching this trend?
