Grayscale Bitcoin Trust (GBTC)

[GreedyAgorist]

Not sure what all the whining is about here. Closed out my flipping shares at the open. Gain of 29.8% for 5 days (including the weekend); that's not bad. And I hold a core that includes some shares bought below 5 bucks. (Don't I wish I had bought more last week when it was cheap?)

And I agree, this is a way to follow the big coin without worrying about exchanges or wallets and extra usernames and passwords (let alone passphrases). It's a way to play cryptos tax-free without setting up a self-directed IRA. (BTW, anyone here done that? I am curious as how best to do that.) And Fidelity charged me nothing on the way in and a grand total of a penny on the way out.

I also understand wanting to "hold" BTC and other specific digital assets. (Especially with the alt season we are having.) I use SLV to trade, but that is not the silver I hold.
