Bitcoin's taking a dip—time to panic or opportunity to load up? Ric Edelman's stance might surprise traditional investors. He's still advocating for hefty crypto exposure in portfolios, suggesting allocations could reach as high as 40%.

That's not a typo. While conventional wisdom pushes for conservative single-digit exposure, Edelman's positioning crypto as more than just a side bet. His rationale? The asset class has matured enough to warrant serious portfolio weight.

Market pullbacks tend to trigger two reactions: fear-driven exits or strategic accumulation. For those following Edelman's philosophy, current price levels could represent entry points rather than warning signals. The question isn't whether to hold crypto anymore—it's how much makes sense for your risk profile.

Obviously, a 40% allocation isn't for everyone. But the conversation's shifted from "should I own any crypto" to "what's the right percentage." That's a fundamental change in how digital assets are being viewed by financial professionals.

40% is really scary... But then again, this Edelman guy has never played by the rules, he's kind of interesting.

40%? Edelman is really bold, the traditional finance circle must be freaking out, haha. Pull back is when we get in, what's there to panic about? From "should I buy" to "how much should I buy," it's definitely a paradigm shift... By the way, what percentage position are you guys holding now? That's just how it is in our circle—during a bull market, everyone is a crypto believer, but once it dips a bit, people start acting scared. It's kind of funny. Not gonna lie, 40 is a bit aggressive... but I'm optimistic about this direction. The worst are those who follow the herd in and then flee just as quickly. There aren't many with real conviction.

40%? Damn, this dude is bold, even more aggressive than me... --- Another traditional finance guy changing his tune, this time it's Edelman's turn. --- Seriously? Won't 40% be a huge loss? I'm still hesitating whether to buy more. --- Got it, now the question has shifted from "should I buy" to "how much should I buy"... This change is pretty interesting. --- It's just the usual bull market last wave of cashing out on retail investors, don't fall for it. --- I just want to know if this guy actually went all in himself? Easy to say. --- 40% is definitely aggressive, but compared to those hyping crypto five years ago, at least his logic is self-consistent. --- A crash is perfect, give me another -30% so I can buy the dip.

40%? Edelman really dares to say it. I just love seeing these traditional finance big shots get so triggered... Whether to HODL or dump it really depends on how much of a pullback you can handle.
