Suze Orman: 1 Reason You Should ‘Absolutely’ Own Bitcoin

GoBankingRates  Kellan Jansen  September 23, 2024

Suze Orman is a financial host and author, and in a recent interview with CNBC, she said she believes “everyone should absolutely” own the cryptocurrency bitcoin. Usually, people who support bitcoin as an investment view it as a store of value — but Orman doesn’t.

Here’s the real reason you should own the No. 1 crypto asset by market cap, according to Orman.

Young People Are Fascinated by Bitcoin

Orman’s main idea is that young people are excited by bitcoin, and they’re likely to continue buying it for years. This, she argued, should be positive for the coin’s price over time.

Orman doesn’t buy into the idea that bitcoin will become a store of value like gold or supplant the dollar. But she does view it as a speculative asset that may still have room to run in the future.

However, Orman doesn’t recommend putting all of your money into the crypto market. She said you should invest only what you can afford to lose. That aligns with the general recommendation of allocating no more than 5% of your portfolio to crypto.

Orman is correct in pointing toward younger generations’ interest in cryptocurrency. Millennial and Gen Z investors are now as likely to own crypto as they are to own real estate. One reason for that could be dissatisfaction with the current financial system.

But Orman doesn’t evaluate further than this. She argued that the buy-in from young people is all that really matters. In other words, as long as people continue believing in bitcoin, its price should keep increasing.
