I am in the UK and have various investments.
I would buy Grayscale if it didn't demand a minimum investment, and would use it in my retirement pension fund (401k in the USA). A pension gives you tax breaks.
The reason is, if I needed to sell Bitcoin for immediate needs, then I could offset it with some Grayscale in my retirement pension fund.
Aren’t there any similar Bitcoin ETP/trusts available that you can trade in any quantity? It seems the EU has been generally more favorable of a BTC index product.
Well the UK has just banned holding cryptocurrency derivatives, usually in the form of Exchange Traded Notes, in pensions.
However, I have started experimenting with a mining company called Argo Blockchain (BLOK) which is up 1300% in 3 months. But yes, I missed that bump... doh!
I have discovered another miner stock today called Online Blockchain PLC (OBC), also up about 500% recently. I will dip my toes in that too.
And actually, I am now starting to think that the volatility of these mining companies, plus the fact they also mine more profitable coins than Bitcoin is at least as worth looking at as Bitcoin as an investment.
