I also agree that it is not sensible to keep more than a certain percentage of your holdings online, however that percentage is _necessarily_ higher if you’re day trading.

It may very will be the case that for a crypto investor at his level, 500K is an appropriate percentage.

500K would change my life, but for some people it is just a sting in the ass.
