Little, and only with money you can afford to lose or lock away. Gold has a long history as a modest hedge, and a small allocation (often a single digit percentage) is reasonable for stability. Crypto is genuinely speculative: it can go to zero, and it should never be money you need. If you want exposure, cap it hard at a small slice, size it so that a total loss would not dent your plan, and do not let a bull market talk you into more. As a founder you already carry enormous concentrated risk in your company. The rest of your money is not the place to pile on more gambles.
