Regarding Bitcoin, Rule #3 might apply:

"There's nothing wrong with speculating — provided you do it with money you can afford to lose. But the money that's precious to you shouldn't be risked on a bet that you can outperform other investors."

Edit: Rule #12 addresses it more directly: "Speculate only with money you can afford to lose."
