Sometimes it's best not to say anything.
Its well less than 5% of my pension pot (£10K) I've invested in a bit coin tracker. Yes I might lose but the same goes for all pension pots. Admitedly, its a bit more volatile!
But over the last few years, Bitcoin has grown and grown in value quite well. I could sell my profit today and cover about 40% of my initial investment. In fact, at some point I won't be greedy and will sell a percentage to cover my initial investment and put somewhere safer. From then on its profit.
In terms of cash, I've only invested about £1000 over about 5-6 different cryptos so not the end of the world. As they say, money you can afford to lose. I won't be overjoyed to lose a £1000 (unlikely) of course, but the world wont end because of it.Rhyddid i lofnod psychocandy!!!!Comment

Placed £1k bet on Neo rallying tonight... $40 perhaps it falls to $37 - afterwards it'll shoot up again."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

We do take some out as we go on. Mrs Scoots is as addicted as me now.- but her nerves are rattled.
