Great post. For me, I have always been a risk-averse individual. In fact, I historically only ever traded dividend-yielding stocks and bonds - as this is what finance university taught us to do.

The way that I have been able to move towards this, is over the years build by conviction stronger and stronger by studying it endlessly.

While I'm not 120% like many here, I have a stack up to my risk tolerance. What I can afford to lose I keep in dollars. Value is relative, and in the end - my eyes have been opened to so much because of bitcoin. Hoping for more acceptance in the U.S. though!
