Bitcoin is a gold-like (see "digital gold") monetary asset. Is is a burgeoning asset class, rapidly maturing. With a market capitalization in the low $100B range, it is still very small from a global monetary perspective. As such, the return profile is extremely asymmetric. If you believe there's a non-trivial chance that bitcoin will stick around and fulfill even just some of its potential, the upside is likely hundreds to thousands of percent while the max downside is capped at 100%. This asymmetric profile means single-digit % allocations (or less) could return the entire portfolio in the success case.
