I started investing in BTC cause "haha number go up" but now i'm in out of principle

I went from 5% of my portfolio because it was a “high-risk investment” to 50% after I thought I had “got it.” At that level, I had basically understood the tech and its deflationary nature, and I thought that was it. Until one day, I remember asking on this sub if I should go to 100%, because it seemed to outperform every stock in the long term and someone replied, “If you need to ask this, you’re not ready.” And I was like, yeah whatever. But then, I began learning about monetary theory, the Nixon Shock, the Federal Reserve, the 2008 crash and damn, this system is broken. Governments and banks have every incentive to go against Bitcoin, because they would lose their control. And I don’t even know how it has survived, given that the whole system is against it. Now I don’t invest to make money, I buy good money with bad money. Do I get it now? submitted by /u/One_Business6842 [link] [comments]
