Portfolio Check · by Felix Weber · 2026-09-09

I own both gold and bitcoin and yes Thanksgiving got stupid

My brother thinks gold is for people waiting for telegrams. My cousin thinks bitcoin is fake air. I hold both in tiny doses and neither camp accepts me.

Portfolio:
US stock funds 60%
international 18%
bonds 12%
BTC 4%
gold 4%
REITs 2%

Reasoning is boring: they are different weird things, both small, both there so I don't spend my whole life pretending I know exactly which future shows up.

People get ideological about tiny allocations. It's very internet.

My uncle calls gold pirate savings and I have never recovered.

4/4 seems pretty reasonable honestly.

Different weird things is a decent investment thesis for small slices

Thank you. That may be the title of my nonexistent memoir.
