- I chose Bitcoin as a big chunk of my portfolio because of a often overlooked risk
An Austrian investor explains their decision to allocate a significant portion of their portfolio to Bitcoin due to regulatory limitations on broker insurance coverage in Austria, which only guarantees 20,000 euros regardless of portfolio size. They argue that holding Bitcoin directly eliminates counterparty risk associated with brokers, making it a safer alternative to traditional stocks and ETFs that must be held through intermediaries.
