This is why I don't think journalists should hold any crypto. If you hold one, you can be seen to have a bias against all others. At Decrypt we have a policy of disclosures but I personally don't hold more than $50 of any coin for this reason.

Cryptobriefing is a dumpster fire of a publication. Thanks for letting a journalist who holds both bitcoin and ethereum tell us how we are going to fail. twitter.com/OctoberBlack1/…

Where do you draw the line though? Don’t think anybody would fault you for getting long BTC or ETH at this point. You have to be able to invest somewhere.. stocks, real estate, etc. Owning a house doesn’t mean you’re biased against DOGE.

The spirit of the editor's code is that you don't write about something that you are invested in. It refers to stocks but I believe it applies to crypto too. In this case, I think owning stocks or real estate wouldn't be a conflict because we rarely cover them.

My thinking is that, since crypto can be used as money, I keep my amounts to what I regularly use. I use ETH for testing dapps and stuff so I typically have some of that. If I start using and spending more and more crypto per day, I think it would be reasonable to up the limit.
