Summary
Bitcoin has had 87%, 84%, and 77% drawdowns. A 5% allocation contributes 27% of your total portfolio risk. In Parts 5 and 6 of the Complete Guide to Investing, I cover the real math on crypto, what the "digital gold" narrative gets wrong, and then move into alternatives where hedge fund investors give up 64 cents of every dollar earned to managers. The advertised fee is 2-and-20. The actual fee is closer to 50%. Also in here, the Canadian route rather than the US one: BTCX.B and ETHX.B, and what holding them inside a TFSA changes for tax and for your estate. I am Brian Orlando, CPA, in Halifax. I run Calm Money Coach, an advice-only planning practice. No products, no commissions, I do not manage anybody's money.
