He also advised investors to allocate about 1% of their net worth to Bitcoin (BTC) and other crypto assets, based on their price volatility.
“I think a new investor could put 5% into Bitcoin,” said Novogratz. “Bitcoin’s not going back to zero […] It could certainly trade back to $14,000 — you could lose 30-40%, but you’re not losing 80-90% of your money.”
