As it is still an investment and in no way replacement for a currency, I put in what I can lose. It's still fairly volatile (same goes for others like ETH or LITE), so I ain't gonna gamble with what I don't have.
It's a great replacement for currency, but it needs some scaling issues resolved by consensus first before it can take on more users efficiently. Until that happens, it's still the world's largest supercomputer, and the world's safest network and store of value. It's way better than gold in that aspect, and it's also the biggest social experiment ever created. There's so much hidden value in the bitcoin blockchain that price speculation is almost always undervalued.
To me personally, I see bitcoin as a secure store of value. Better than any traditional investment in the markets today.
