Should I Put My Entire Bonus into Bitcoin?

Back in college, I posted about selling off everything and going all-in on NVDA (link here). 

Now that I’ve received my bonus, I’m debating a similar move, this time with Bitcoin. The obvious difference is that BTC is sitting near all-time highs and doesn’t have the same kind of fundamentals that supported the NVDA bet, but that hasn’t stopped it from outperforming for years

I’ve got a PE job lined up, minimal expenses, and could realistically handle a worst-case scenario if it went to near-zero. The rational play would be a DCA into an index fund (or something in between these extremes), but part of me wonders, why not just go all-in and hold for 5-10 years?

Curious to hear people's thoughts

So did this work out?

Btw low effort post, you could've at least asked "Should I put all my money on Hynix" and roll that 20-sided Korean dice and hope KPop Demon Hunters would exorcise the bear demons.

When in doubt, use more peanut butter
