Bitcoin isn’t for everyone. But if you’re considering holding a meaningful portion of your portfolio in bitcoin, there’s a safer path forward. That’s where the Stars Model bitcoin variation comes in.

So how can the real risk of holding bitcoin be minimized?

1. Buy & hold with discipline. Stars is a long-term strategy. As the holding period increases, real risk approaches zero because the current price eventually rises above the purchase price. Over the past 25 years, crypto returned an average of 58% per year vs. 8% for SPY. For me, bitcoin is the better place to hold Stars profits.
2. Risk mitigation through Stars. Bitcoin alone is extremely volatile. But in Stars, corrections trigger purchases of TQQQ at steep discounts—creating a built-in hedge. Yes, drawdowns happen, but the opportunity cost of not participating far outweighs them.
3. Only buy bitcoin with profits. Stars profits occur only when prices are rising. Using those profits to spread out bitcoin purchases removes the need for perfect market timing. At correction lows, TQQQ—not bitcoin—is the right buy.
4. Diversification & inflation hedge. Bitcoin is a non-stock position that strengthens Stars as a hedge against inflation and dollar devaluation.

   What’s your take—do you see bitcoin as a long-term hedge, or is the volatility too much risk?
