  1. Biggest issue for me is storing it safely but not so safely that even I can't access it.

    I don't want to rely on having to remember where I kept my private keys, nano ledger and my ledgers password or I lose my whole investment.
    If I get hit by a bus tomorrow my wife or children would have no idea how to access my Bitcoin.

    There has to be an easier way to hold the stuff without the risk of not being able to access our own holdings.
    Imagine 20yrs from now you develop dementia and Bitcoin has skyrocketed and you have a large sum sitting on some offline device that you can't find or can't access.

    You or your wife, children can't just ring someone up or take it into the Bitcoin store and they'll pay you out

  2. bitcoin etf is never happening… nothing has changed with bitcoin except you gotta pay taxes on it now. That guy with his forced smile. You can see it all over his face hes already rejected. Spewing nonsense. Its not efficient it went from 20k to 3k. haha. They are like 5 years to late bitcoin is dead oversaturated market. It was ruined when had to pay tax on it.

  3. Bitcoin ETF = Paper Bitcoin, i.e. not Real Bitcoin. Buying and using Bitcoin is really not that hard. Not mention NO ONE will accept your Bitcoin ETF as a payment as equivalent value as real Bitcoin for any good or service. I have no clue what people they talk about that cannot use Bitcoin, I have showed 10 year old kids how to use Bitcoin, and they found it a million times easier than using a Bank account (opening a Bank account, having to wait for a payment, needing permission for their own money to withdraw). Didn't make sense to them. Basically they are trying to do the same thing to Bitcoin what they did to Gold. Bitcoin is NOT an investment. It is money. Dollar crash will push Bitcoin up whether we have ETH or not.

  4. LOL also you mooks are talking about CUSTODIANS, the whole point of cryptocurrency is that THERE IS NO NEED FOR CUSTODIANS
    your insurance companies are irrelevant schemes

  5. nobody cares about your made up institutions
    dollar is going to zero and your government entities will shrink and cease to exist
    banks dead, insurance companies dead, trusted third parties, dead
    they're all dead, you just don't see it yet, but you will

  6. They had no problem with Robo closing Grandma's house in the bankers made housing crisis!……When the right people want the ETF it will happen and it is not about anyone's "grandma"…lol

  7. Abolish the SEC and their onerous 1933 concentration of wealth act. The SEC has too much power. Enron etc happen even with the SEC. So do scam penny stocks.

  8. It's a fact that gold and minerals are out there in some asteroids, to be mined in the future. It's no longer a question. It's just a question of when. So, now, what is your grand formula to securing your assets besides real mathematics and progressive technology?

  9. Sale to grandma? what kind of questions are these ? know one at retirement should to be in the stock market they should be winding down there their Investments at that point

  10. Bitcoin is currently my most favorite thing and i completely love the technology behind it out of which has spewed several other coins. I know its quite unclear for many how lucrative bitcoin is currently as most people have lost several thousands of dollars already in holding their coins. In my case, i have earned thousands by following a less talked about approach which is day trading. Trading is less affected by the speculative and unpredictable nature of cryptocurrency and with the right techniques and expertise, you can easily earn so much when others are actually making loses in an unstable market. Several ways to make consistent profit but the safest and easiest would be using the guidance, signals and already proven trade strategies of a successful trader. Quite a few of them but my favorite would always remain Mr  Mark Jean . I was able to easily triple my portfolio in just 2 weeks of trading with him. It would be only fair for me not to hide such a gem in the space. You can reach him on Telegram @ Marktrading884 and via WhatsApp: 12098817868 or via mail Marktrading884 @ yahoo com

  11. This has happened over and over again… and over and over again… crypto’s drop then they go up and make people rich. When will people realize this? Haha loving these low prices ?

  12. So we allow retirement accounts and government pension plans to invest in Chinese companies on our stock market that don't have to submit to any audits or report accurate earnings, but a Bitcoin ETF is too risky? Right 😉
