Further approvals are needed before the funds list officially, he wrote. “This is just one stage of approval, the OCC [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency] and CFTC [Commodity Futures Trading Commission] has to approve as well before they officially list,” he explained. “The other two don't have a 'clock' so not sure when they'll be approved. A big step tho nonetheless that the SEC came around.”

It is just getting started, unless you're trading it

Ahh we finally made it! cheers bro

Yes, I believe that is $41.99 🔥

Let it keep going IMO

ATH coming?

"Important note: This is just one stage of approval, the OCC and CFTC has to approve as well before they officially list," Balchunas continued. "The other two don't have a 'clock' so not sure when they'll be approved. A big step tho nonetheless that the SEC came around."

We may have a gap to fill down to $35 if you're looking to pick up more. Then with a bull may start after Columbus Day next month.

Nice day thus far...broke $37

It is overbought, yet we'll see what next month does for us

I guess you missed the whole point that is being made but that's fine.
Moving on to better informed people that talk on topic

So im supposed to tell you what im invested in, would you like buy sell advice too? sorry i dont go down that road anymore. IH is full of whackos and incompetence, current audience excluded. I dont share that stuff anymore, I got sick of criticism from truly clueless people. Im not talking about you. I also dont subscribe to private messages here, they are far left and completely off the rails with their deletion of information.

I asked for more info and you replied I've moved stuff around. So that is all I got.
Just thought a mod of the board would be active and know a lot but that is where it remains.
Sorry, I guess it's everyone for themselves

What question ? I didn’t know I owe u any answers, huh is absolutely correct response cause I have no clue what ur talking about, snd still don’t.

Huh? isn't an answer. Some folks ask questions, seems the mod can't answer for some reason. I've asked for more info and got nothing. Huh? is a typical answer

Any info or information or update by anyone is welcome. Share any info you can find.
Options coming after we have two more approvals. Biggest hurttle was SEC which was approved

Huh?

How come you don't post? If you do, you avoid the question

dont know what it is, some folks today cant construct a complete coherent sentence, like a skydonkey disease. If u get investing advice from any of them, run in the opposite direction, u will gain.
as far as BTC and its ETFs, wait for it, many gonna grow slowly over time.

yep good to see all the duhduhduhdummies who bought into, or spread the fake rumors about how BTC will quadruple after miners get half for their efforts. all of them soooo dumb, but u knew that.🤪

Looks like a double bottom & getting ready for a move very soon

SEC approval for options

GREAT VIDEO

🤡😲🧷📞😅

Sure Buddy ETF's are secure 🤣 The economy and moving stuff around 🤡

I’ll look into it. I have recently moved stuff around on account of the shifting background I see in the economy and how crypto will be integrated into it. Another words ETFs are secure but gains may be elsewhere. I am now heavy on tokens and metals, and mining ETFs. There are other Moss who are heavy into crypto ETFs that can post stuff.

trunkmonk, do you have more info on this anywhere else other than the IBox?

Just following for now

33.93 a few minutes ago when i logged it. Nov to remember for some crypto and Gold, yes and thus ETFs that are related to them.

37.05 as i type. keeping watch from here to Nov 5, then from there into jan.

A black swan event in the stock market is a rare, unpredictable event that causes a significant market crash or disruption. These events are often market crashes that are more than six standard deviations, making them highly improbable $IBIT

Bump for ETFs

$41.99 is the high here. Doesn't matter when you buy, if you hold long, you will make profit.

ETFs popping up on crypto constantly, here are a list of the Top or bigger ones.

Correlation between IBIT and BITO is 1 so there shouldn't be much of a difference in volatility https://portfolioslab.com/tools/stock-comparison/IBIT/BITO
I'm not a day trader so I can't speak to trade by trade volatility between the two.
I guess anyone buying BTC directly or indirectly would be reducing the availability, last time I checked ETF's were holding about 4% of global supply

I would tend to think BITO is good for day and swing trading and comes with volatility. Technically not reducing the amount of BTC as it is not a spot ETF and has management fees. Direct investment in IBIT is reducing the available BTC while giving you an indirect/direct hand in BTC. I am assuming....

This would be the appropriate time to talk about contango and futures...
BITO= futures contracts
IBIT= BTC spot price

BITO has a dividend yield of 15.64% and paid $4.62 per share in the past year. The dividend is paid every month and the last ex-dividend date was Apr 1, 2024.

i dont know anything about BITO, since you loaded some, what are your thoughts and reasons behind it? All i know is IBIT is very stable and not impacted by derivatives, yet that i know of.

Can you explain the difference between BITO and IBIT for me trunk? Ive loaded some BITO and have a ton of GBTC I bought many years ago. What do you see as an IBIT advantage over BITO?

Adding more!!

If u don’t know what this means, u should find out. They have to go somewhere now that China and other Sovereign’s are not buying them. Something I now have to watch for in auctions. Crypto as a sector are all tied together. Very clever people in deep state Country Clubs.

Added 35.53 on this pullback, damn near LOD

Thanks for sharing

HOW BITCOIN AVOIDS DEBASEMENT

Bitcoin offers a permanent solution to this issue. Its supply is capped at 21 million, a number that is hard-coded and safeguarded by proof-of-work mining and a decentralized network of nodes. Thanks to its decentralized nature, no single entity or government can control Bitcoin’s issuance or governance. Furthermore, its inherent scarcity makes it resilient to the inflationary pressures that are typically seen with traditional fiat currencies.

As a distributed system, Bitcoin users can ensure that the supply never deviates from the predetermined supply cap by running the software that downloads and validates the entire transactional ledger. By verifying every transaction in Bitcoin’s history, where every coin came from and where it went, users can be absolutely sure that the supply has not been debased and no coins were created that should not have been.

Full node software like this for Bitcoin is essentially a counterfeiting detection machine that anyone can run. It guarantees the supply is intact, that coins being spent were properly authorized, and no funny business is happening. Any Bitcoin wallet software can also ensure that no one can restrict your access to your own money.

In times of economic uncertainty, or when central banks engage in extensive money printing, investors often turn to assets like gold and bitcoin for their store-of-value properties. As time progresses, there’s potential for people to recognize Bitcoin not just as a store of value, but as the next evolution of money.

Support level next is 40.01, Resistance is 44.88. moving averages all say buy, Oscillators are mostly Neutral to Sell.

Hello IBIT good bye GBTC, management fees...

Bitcoin Has 6 Months Until ETF "Liquidity Crisis"

Ki: Bitcoin bears “can’t win” while ETF flows continue

Bitcoin as an institutional investment allocation is only just getting started, industry participants have said, as United States-based spot Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) gain momentum.

Now holding nearly $30 billion, they have become the most successful ETF launch in history.

YEP.........but you have to check continually......+/- about .20¢.....but so far its pretty close......it serves no purpose other than to 'check' IBIT vs BTC

So 1 share of IBIT roughly equates to .0005697 of 1 BTC
