They are still arguing over this too lmao
lol & theyβll split it in 5 years 10:1 π€£
People like to complicate things, sometimes to steal from others.
Keep it simple self custody and stay humble π«‘
Excellent counter! Ask any ETF holder "how much corn they have" and they won't know. Next year ask the same question (you, know, fees) and they'll be wrong again. The only number they care about is fiat go up.
They should have made IBIT be 1/100 or 1/1000 of the BTC price.
For SPY they make it be roughly 1/10 of the S&P price.

Stock split incoming soon
ETFs can't track the price of bitcoin long term because they take 0.15%-1.5% off the top annually in management fees.

Not even close
MSTR could see another one next year
Are Orange Checks the new blue checks?
Can't believe people are buying Bitcoin ETFs. It is much simpler to just buy Bitcoin instead.
LMFAO
ODELL
BLUE CHECKS WASTING AIR ARGUING ABOUT SATS WHILE THE SUITS WERE LIKE FUCK IT LETS JUST MAKE EACH SHARE A RANDOM FUCKING NUMBER LMFAO

Is it though? People with a fidelity account can just move whatever percentage of their portfolio to bitcoin ETFs. No new exchange accounts, no learning about self custody. I'm not arguing for ETFs, they're stupid, but honestly they are much easier for a lot of people.
If you buy with KYC and never spend your Bitcoin, are you really any different from someone buying the ETF? You certainly don't have freedom money.

The management fees actually had decent competition. IBIT wanted to charge much more but were forced through competition to come in at 0.12%. Which for small to medium holders is much cheaper than an unchained or casa assisted custody plan. Other ETFs came in with even lower fees I believe.

It is better if you self custody. At least you avoid counterparty
Grandpa, that isn't "freedom money". You get arrested because everyone can see where you use it.
99% normal people don't care about a bisq, and they would still go after the donation recipients anyway.
Monero fixes that.

Just like any bitcoiner around here anyway.
They're just forex and stock junkies that get all happy and advertise around here: "I paid for my coffee with Blackrock ETFs"
Hell would break loose if they'd discover you can actually mine crypto from their own laptops. But they aren't really interested on that, at all.
You can't because you have management fees reducing the BTC / share every year. Rather just make it a random number.
Itβs not random - those suits are somewhat smart. They made it cheap for a regular Joe to buy βbitcoinβ.
Only for techies or btc nerds. The rest of the people have no idea what theyβre doing.. and most too lazy to learn
Why do you have to spend it?
gm. Stay humble and stack bitcoins.. doesnβt work does it.
I guess they will have to learn the hard way?
Def. i see that coming tooπ₯π₯π₯qqq / fasb / rate cut / 7-10bn convertible with 0 interest / stock split / sp500. Did i miss something?π€―
Their credit rating improved, MSTR World conference, and bitcoin pumping next year
For someone who thinks X is inferior and unworthy of anyones time you sure post about it a LOT.
I DELETED MY X SO I COULD CRITIQUE IT AND BLUE CHECKS WITHOUT BEING A HYPOCRITE.
Beautiful.
Tens of Millions of people buy stocks on their own on Robinhood. You can buy Bitcoin on Robinhood in the same way.
Or coinbase, or Gemini. This isn't 2013.
Sure, I just don't see the point. You left X & you are on Nostr but keep posting about X. If you want to keep posting about X & its users that's entirely up to you, just because you are not being hypocritical seems somewhat irrelevant, it's that you left it & constantly talk about it like it's an ex-girlfriend. Why use Nostr to keep posting about X? Let it go π
0.12% per year would mean 1% diff every 8 years.
SPY has been able to keep it's price within a few % of 1/10 of SPX for +20 years and they even have the handling of dividends to manage for the difference.
Every 10 years you can do a small stock split to rebalance if needed.
You always have a counterparty.
With self-custody you become the counterparty π
For most boomers that is worse than Charles Schwab. Just check the Sparrow Telegram Support group and assess the risk of losing coins in self-custody.
Self-custody is always better for ideological reasons (starve the beast) but isn't always a lower risk of losing your coins, e.g. doesn't even know what seed words are.
I mean, there's management fees. They could have made them a eound number but after one period the fees would have broken that parity anyway.
I guess it depends on the environment to whether or not people should selfcustody and in the current environment I would self custody some or all of my bitcoin
Always
