Is this too risky?

Im new to investing and Ive read around it a bit. Im 19 and want to be as risky as possible before I need to be more conservative.

Any recommendations on asset allocation?

Thinking of the following

1. Equity 100%

2. Equity 90% - Commodity 5% - Bond 5%

3. Equity 70% - ETF 20% - Crypto 5% - Commodity 5%

There are many options ofc would like to hear ur thoughts.

Your 2nd and 3rd options sound more reasonable, putting down 100% in equity is a joke. Maybe look in to some other sectors as well, maybe even product manufacturing. But if I had to choose an option, it would be a variant of option 3, and I would reallocate some of the percentages if I see crypto being a bust.
