Cryptocurrency isn't a fad. That's according to experts at the TD Ameritrade LINC conference in Orlando, Florida. If investors want to dip a toe into bitcoin, they should aim for this allocation. They should just make sure they know the risks first.

They should get schooled on digital assets, as well as the underlying blockchain technology, first.
