Ric Edelman isn’t budging from the groundbreaking cryptocurrency investment strategies he urged six months ago, even as Bitcoin lingers far from its record-breaking heights.
The founder of the Digital Assets Council of Financial Professionals views the current environment—with Bitcoin falling back below $90,000 going into the weekend—as an opportunity to buy the asset before it inevitably regains momentum.
“Right now, the message is simple and compelling,” he recently told Decrypt. “If you liked Bitcoin at $100,000 or $125,000, you have to love it at $85,000. This is the same message that advisors give their clients anytime the stock market declines, and we have seen 20%-30% declines in the S&P 500 as well.”
He added: “We know that market periods of significant decline represent buying opportunities for long-term investors. The same is true here for crypto.”
In a white paper released in June, Edelman recommended a 10% crypto allocation for conservative investors and up to 40% for more aggressive portfolios, shaking up a financial advisory world that has been slow to embrace digital assets.
The co-founder of Edelman Financial Engines—a nearly $300 billion asset manager—had previously advocated for “low single-digits” investments in crypto, but said he had been swayed by “dramatically improved regulatory clarity and institutional engagement in crypto.” …

Well it will be about $60k by morning…so it will be a real bargain.
Hahaha - a real love fest !
But do as you like.
Edelman is a pretty notable Financial Advisor - he manages billions - have to imagine he has a lot of depressed clients
If you burn $20 bills, you can stay warm. Bitcoin and Silver just get you heated up these days. Silver down 37% in the last 5 days, Bitcoin 18.5%, Gold only down 9%.
On the other hand, WTI is down about a half a percent in the last week.
Nope. It hit that already today and bounced EXACTLY at $60,000.00, which is quite unusual and shows very large limit orders there.
I hope my peeps here cashed out of some profits on stonks, crypto and metals recently? If so hold that cash and wait. When the Nasdaq falls 10-20%, buy AAPL, GOOG and AMZN.
“This is the same message that advisors give their clients anytime the stock market declines”
Not exactly. Advisors i know would recommend a diversified portfolio and dollar cost averaging over time into all sorts of funds. No one can predict tops and bottoms. Stay disciplined and invest a significant chunk of your paycheck every month and in 30+ years you will have a nice retirement nest egg
If one wants crypto then figure out what percentage of the portfolio should be made up of crypto and move towards that.
“Buy them, dips! Er... I mean, Buy the dips!” rofl
Bitcoin topped at $124,000 early in 2025. It is now down 50%
Silver topped at $120 5 days ago and now it is down 50%.
It has been brutal crypto, silver, and gold market.
Explore yourself!
I have a friend who’s been off-the-charts bullish on bitcoin & precious metals for more than two years... she’s done well and is likely still ahead... but I hope she took some profits at the top.
My wife put 100% of her ROTH into Apple stock about 28 years ago.
I put 100% of my IRA into ETN about 13 years ago.
He is undoubtedly smarter and more informed then I. And I likely have a much lower tolerance for risk. I follow the ten percent rule to keep any hit manageable.
I have missed out on chances to make a lot of money and even more chances to lose a lot of money.
Isn’t free will lovely?
Don’t try to catch a falling knife.
The first Bitcoin transaction was for 41$ worth of pizza. It took 10,000 coins.
Other than Bitcoin and Silver, what significant investments are approaching bargain territory?
MSTR (”Strategy”, which leverages Bitcoin)?
