I didn’t know that this is now available on IBKR.
Since a few days it is available to IB UK clients (which is the default for Switzerland) through their partner Paxos.

I have an IBKR UK Account. How can I request trading permission for Crypto ETFs like IBIT/FBTC?
@stojano ,
Which lightning network BTC wallet have you set up for your children? Could you outline the reasoning for your decision?
Wallet of Satoshi. Simple and it’s working without any issues. Anything else would be a hassle (except maybe the Aqua wallet).

This summer vacations, we will be exploring Aqua wallet with learning sessions about the main net and hardware wallets (I think we’ll go for Jade). Aqua wallet has the advantage to have LN, Liquid and main net in one app.

This guy doesn’t know what he is talking about…
Example? Why should my gold be gone after 27 years??? Whats the cost to store Gold?
Government has ceesed to be bad for Bitcoin maximalists for quite some time now. Part of the Moon thesis is adoption by governments and regulations. Bitcoin ETFs are an originalist’s nonsense, for example (not your keys, not your coins).
Centralisation is going strong into the narratives of those who are interested by crypto only for their fiat value. Make of it what you may.

I always made that it was for the “dirty fiat”, the pseudo anarchic theories were always the domain of deranged idiots and scammers.
He has so much exposure to Bitcoin, the only way Bitcoin holds its value if people continue to buy it. So I understand why he is coming up with all the new ideas to promote it.
The first discussion was Bitcoin will replace fiat to transact. That didn’t play out.
So now the whole bandwagon will be “store of value” because it doesn’t need a change in anything in daily life. And as people like to use backtesting to make future return predictions, it’s an easy sell.
If you would have invested 1000 USD in BTC 10 years back, it would have become XYZ. Hence it’s a new asset class. So allocate some percentage of your portfolio for it. This will atleast ensure that people who already have bitcoins will not lose money and new buyers would need to “hope” that HODL between 2024 and 2034 will result in astronomical gains as well. What would really happen? No one can tell.
I think BTC is not replacing gold because Gold as well is at all time high. For me, BTC is just like a stock of a company which has following traits.
- it’s awesome
- Do not make any profits
- It’s products are not understood by many
- doesn’t glitter

When did he say that? I thought he said approx. 62 yrs a gold bar.
Its only a store of value if enough people believe it is.
However, the same is true for gold.
It seems a growing number of people and also institutions believe btc can add value to their portfolio.
I do not want to bet against that (the market believe) and allocate a small portion of the portfolio to btc.
This seems logical to me when i buy market cap weighted index funds.
But i agree, the Saylor talk was not convincing.
