[@adammason1587]

Why buy the ETF? There is a use case you didnt cover, those who are convinced and are putting retirement funds in there (IRA) because they cant sell their IRA and put the coins in their hardware wallet. @Andrei

[@JohnJohnCrusher]

Bitcoin is stupid. Why would you do that? Quit legitimatizing it.

[@MichaelDLC]

You’re wrong about Fidelity lacking experience in bitcoing. It has been minding bitcoin since 2014, and started their own crypto service in 2018 (Fidelity Digital Assets)

[@wildfotoz]

I would love to see an update to this video now that BTC is on the rise. I'm seeing IBIT is the best one now. I'd like to see if your views have changed. Most of them have lowered their fees.

[@JollyMarketerLiv]

Just turned 24 this month, a little over $33k invested! So glad to have a community online in this comment section. All my irl friends think the world is ending and our generation is completely destroyed financially. Well, while they keep thinking they won’t live to be 60, I’ll be prepared!

[@ivaanalenn]

That's an incredible achievement at 24. Though I'd recommend not posting so much detail about your finances online.

[@NoraPresley]

It's actually pretty impressive for to have that much in an emergency fund at 24.... unless you come from a wealthy background of course. Most people would have probably put that into buying the latest Tesla. That's why I think it's so important to get a financial coach or at least an accountability partner than ensures you're keeping your finances in check. A lot of people underestimate how far diligent financial planning can take you in just a few months.

[@ivaanalenn]

​@@NoraPresley I've been looking into that for a while now, but I need to know it's someone I can trust. Just got out of a messy and financially draining divorce and I need all the help I can get. Do you have any recommendations?

[@Sharpshooter649]

Young grasshopper, you have much yet to learn !

[@iznodgood]

Your comparison makes absolutely no sense. You are comparing how much the ETFs lost during that time but you are not comparing it to the real value of Bitcoin at the moment you made the video. ETF is a tracker and what makes a good ETF is how close they are to the real underlying value, not the absolute value lost or gained. If Bitcoin was $78 at the time of shooting the video, the whole evaluation would have been completely different! If you want to compare Bitcoin ETFs, compare the ETF costs (which you did) coupled with how many and how big the gaps happened between the BTC value and the ETF values over a period of time (Is the ETF slow to react to price changes, are the dips and heights bigger or smaller than the real value, how fast does the correction takes, etc)

[@bejanghavami5585]

Ya I was about to say the same thing, the companies those etfs invested in went down that’s why those etfs went down. The etfs that hold 100% Bitcoin correlate with the price of Bitcoin, so when Bitcoin continues going up you’ll see a correlation in price.

[@jimbojimbo6873]

The entire point of a spot etf is defeated if it can’t track the underlying asset within a 0.2%

[@ayrtonfineout442]

Your videos are the best. Love that you speculate without certainty. No one can predict the future.

[@stl0555]

Suggestion: When you update the video once these ETFs are increasing, it would also be interesting to know which ETF has the highest correlation to Bitcoin’s price. As I would be interested in the ETF which most closely tracks Bitcoin.

[@KyleBaran90]

You call it nerd stuff, but it was still very useful to know the nuts and bolts and how the net selling affects the liquidity and supply/demand. It's important to recognize that sort of thing to use for other assets and contexts

[@robertmitchell239]

Man, I absolutely love your channel. I watch a host of related channels and by far you are the most informative, easy to understand, and entertaining channels around. Thanks & keep up the awesome work.

[@inquisitvem6723]

Nah

[@633ohioc]

So basically this video was a 14 minute waste of time.

[@FXOptions007]

I purchased Jan 25 - as of today IBIT up 3.78% - ARKB up 7.33%. Quite the difference.

[@lyftuberninjaworkaholic7524]

Are they not supposed to track BTC? Why the stack difference? Any update? Did it catch up to ARKB?

[@jimbojimbo6873]

Yh wtf how is there that big if any difference???

[@justinjja2]

I told my dad to swap his GBTC for FBTC. IMO fidelity will be able to lose all its bitcoin without going bankrupt for a while. Coinbase and greyscale, I doubt it.

[@AndreiJikh]

I think that's a very reasonable and logical approach

[@joy2world97]

I sold GBTC for half FBTC and IBIT. I think that's the safest bet.

[@ClintOrris]

@@joy2world97 That's my balance too. With a little BITO and holding my own crypto to test it all out.

[@DhrumilShahDOTin]

8:58 all ETF performance

[@stracer42]

Andrei, how about a video showing the pros and cons for self custody vs ETF's inside a tax shelter? If I retire in 15 years and BTC has increased significantly and I want to start using it as income but get murdered on the taxes, this makes the ETF's look more desirable.

[@DirtyBob154]

It’d be cool if you could have compared the funds’ price movement and bitcoins price movement. After all, that’s what they’re trying to replicate. The true winner is which fund performed most like what’s it’s trying to replicate…

[@indigobluu]

I personally think ARKB is the most tightly correlated to the actual price

[@jagelves]

Why did you have to buy to compare?

[@DavidDji_1989]

You should have explained why these price differences. They should all be the same since they follow the price of the same thing.

[@tk3828]

The question is did you buy $100 of BTC at the same time to compare? Did the actual asset do better or worse in the same timeframe?

[@Nuvenss]

What assets is held inside a btc etf? Nvidia? A gold etf can have the mining, jewels, conductors, etc. But btc, it hard guys. It looks like a trap.

[@CH-ed2el]

can you update this - I think the numbers have really changed. thanks!

[@supersonic3974]

I sold all my GBTC and split it between FBTC and IBIT. I would say the best ETF is the one that tracks the underlying asset (Bitcoin) the best while having a good expense ratio.

[@robertmitchell239]

I did exactly the same thing. Fidelity may not have the experience of bitcoin, but they definitely track it. So, I hold Bitcoin, IBIT, and FBTC on Fidelity's platform. Now I can sleep at night. 😆

[@ScoreGuru123]

​@@robertmitchell239does the Blackrock ETF track the real value of Bitcoin?

[@GeoffsCornerOffice]

Similar approach here

[@PA-yy8vu]

Same

[@randybloomfield5090]

This explains so much. Thanks brother 👊

[@AlexofCharmCity]

Fidelity has been mining btc since 2012 pretty sure they have a perfect track record for holding that btc for more than a decade. Surprised you didn't know that about Fidelity. Hope you continue this experiment longer.

[@brianswindell8583]

Any updates on performance for the ETFs?

[@InvestWithFFI]

I second this

[@iSlyOne]

imdomt care so much about price movement… I care about how well the price to NAV minus expenses tracks the price of BTC. if that makes sense. similar to choose a S&P etf… the price per share means nothing. You want the market.. how well does each indexed etf track the index. the closer the better, adjust3d for expesnses. sadly this data isnt fully opening available yet.

[@iSlyOne]

To that end… I would “guess” FBTC would track best as its all in house and potentially less custody / transaction fees lost to a third party.

[@csanadnagy7521]

And during that time how Bitcoin did? So which ETF tracked it the closest?

[@InvestWithFFI]

This is the real question

[@jeffkukkee]

Love how you nailed it on the last minute!! The one that lost the most, has the most exposure, so when the price drops, you loose more.... almost twice as much.

[@EinarWest]

Great content, as always! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@jaggaadaku]

Thanks Andrei. I think I will go with FBTC

[@LauraLouLou]

The Fidelity FBTC is an ETP. What is the difference?

[@CryptoTruong]

Where do I buy Bitcoin ETF at or from? Ty

[@jollama]

Ever heard of Google? Use it

[@Sharpshooter649]

What about BITO?

[@emmapriscilla6132]

Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains.

[@MystrMystry1]

Great video brother you always have Awesome content

[@Optimus-Prime-Rib]

Need an ETF that has 10 or so of these Cryptocurrencies pooled in it. Like a VOO for crypto.

[@michaelrussell818]

They sort of have one of those already...BITW Bitwise 10 Crypto Index tracks the performance of the top 10 crypto by market cap. It is not quite the same as the Bitcoin Spot ETFs but more like BITO that tracks the general performance.

[@Th3CanMan]

Do you have an opinion on STCE?

[@Lubana_music]

Can we invest in Bitcoin etf for long term ?

[@NFTico73]

Awesome content as always Andre

[@AndreiJikh]

Appreciate it!

[@giedriusjur985]

I am new to this ETF thing but isn't ETF point is to mimic the underlying assets price. In this case it should rise and fall equal amount as the bitcoin does?

[@financialliteracy_hr]

I dont care if it goes up or down for the time being, having a ETF available means credibility in the eyes of big investors. It ensures bitcoin will be here 10 years down the road, when I will be cashing out! Great vid Andrei! Thanks

[@AndreiJikh]

Well said!

[@charlsiebailly]

Appreciate the detailed breakdown! A bit off-topic, but I wanted to ask: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (air carpet target dish off jeans toilet sweet piano spoil fruit essay). Could you explain how to move them to Binance?

[@alexbeliy77]

Where did your bitcoin prediction video go?? It cut out in the middle and now it’s no longer available.

[@AndreiJikh]

It's back up!

[@SilverHeist]

You compared ten Bitcoin ETFs to each other. But did you compare it to the performance of Bitcoin during the same period?

[@JocobsComments]

Right

[@AndreiJikh]

I'll include it in my next comparison video

I was waiting for someone to do a vid like this comparing them . Ty

[@dripta]

never enough crypto videos esp if it’s bitcoin related. ignore the haters you’re easily one of the top YT finance folks

[@HowHingPau]

I dipped my toe in by buying 100 shares of both BITB and BRRR on the morning of their launch. As of today, BITB is down -19.82% and BRRR is down -14.04%. Not exactly unexpected as I intend to give it time for things to settle down.

[@ScoreGuru123]

Why didn't you buy it after it had dipped? Or was you expecting it to sky rocket after launch? Would be a good time to buy now

[@wunderburst6444]

[@franck789789]

Can you publish the chart . because nowhere in the video you show GBTC results .

[@martinlutherkingjr.5582]

What was the point of buying all of the Bitcoin ETFs? It’s not like buying them reveals anything. Just read the prospectus of each one and summarize it in english for us. That would actually be useful.

[@rooburger]

Just like GLD and SLV I would rather buy actual BTC... thats just my opinion... although my head keeps saying I should put atleats 1k into each and walk away....

Is there a way to just buy bitcoin on a reoccuring basis? Like through an app?

[@MRkriegs]

yes, of course there is!

[@southsideschooloffinancial4059]

Or you could just buy your Bitcoin through Swan Bitcoin where they custody through Fortress and you can eventually self-custody whenever you want.

[@notxasj]

Yep dca every week and smash buy the big dips when have extra cash

[@highlanderNC-mr8fe]

Do you consider a bitcoin etf holder to be a bitcoin owner? I know that's a weird question but I really want to know your opinion. I wonder if after the BTC goes so high they will close these etf's and hand the investors cash fiat. At that point it would be very difficult to purchase bitcoin. Food for thought..your opinion? TIA

[@mrlion2022]

Good video. Can we get an update with the etf

[@trwebb85]

I can’t wait for the guide!! Great video!

[@AndreiJikh]

Coming soon!

[@MichaelRosch-q6p]

I would really appreciate the guide step by step on how to buy and store it. I don’t know where to start to do it safely.

[@kjay1856]

Do you think GBTC will lower their fees to compete with other Btc etf’s? This was very helpful. Thank you!

[@terrance2405]

Thank you love when you make bitcoin videos look forward to you making a part two with more data on the ETFs you’re awesome!

Are you thinking of self custody cold wallets like Blockstream Jade and Coldcard?

Hey buddy. I live in Indiana!

[@aleembacchus3652]

[@ChaosDarkLight]

BITO? What about the company MSTR?

Hi Andrew, have you decided which BTC ETF’s have been the best? And yes would love to hear you discuss self custody. Thank you!

[@spicychad55]

wouldn't it best best best to go with blackrock's etf since they have the most volume and blackrock itself has the most money and assets to secure itself?

[@AndreiJikh]

Hopefully the video gives a framework for how to think about it all

[@CabinOnTheWater]

It's too early. I'd wait a month for things to settle down and then how they are doing.

Can you plz make a video how to buy real thing as a cold storage.. i hv no idea how to obtain it, a beginner

[@ScoreGuru123]

Im in the UK, can i use Robinhood? Love your channel Andrei but its US centric. Any chance you could do anything to give us subscribers in the UK some helpful info?

[@TwitchRadio]

I hold BITQ, which is kind of like the picks and axes of the crypto world... But I prefer to just hold mine on a cold wallet didn't see the need to buy an ETF right now until the management fees come way the hell down specially for something that is essentially passive management wise

[@hugooquendo570]

Have you read the etf white paper ? and what says about CRAIG STEVEN WRIGHT trial on February.

[@romangabriel007]

The best etf is the one that has a good expense ratio and tracks the price of bitcoin the best.

[@BriansWealthJourney]

This was a great experiment. At least you're getting people up on game. ETF allocations are low, and recommend people buy pure BTC from an exchange.

[@solideights]

You are the best and so informational. Thank you thank you🥳

[@DavidWard-w8f]

Great video, thanks! Would be interested in your thoughts comparing holding MSTR vs. any of the Bitcoin etfs in an IRA of ROTH

[@kylema5on]

Is the BTCO ETF better than buying the Robinhood Crypto BTC?

[@mrbuckmeister]

Your advice to hold your crypto in cold storage is sound. I have a small amount through Coinbase. The bulk of my investment is through my IRAs. None of my IRAs allow direct crypto purchases. I was in GBTC. I switched to ARKB after the ETFs went live. Like you, I'm not sure which ETF is best yet. I just like the fees with ARK. I may switch if other ETFs prove to be better.

[@jakobtheurich]

what about the price of all of them would that not way into your decision for shares of each

[@sollem2010]

Bro - what about leverage? I guess fractional shares ?

[@davidbrooks8809]

BTCO?

[@ericthenomad]

i thought this was a spot bitcoin ETF. did bitcoin go down 7-8% since the day you bought it? so spot bitcoin ETF's aren't 100% backed by bitcoin? Thank you Andrei Jikh

[@ArquelCudia_xAMTCx]

Where you can even invest Bitcoin ETF???

[@tf628]

Stupid question.... If they are all SPOT etfs then why does the loss % vary. If BTC goes down whatever % they all should go down the same % right ?

[@ceestreet6554]

What about BITO

[@trplblk498]

Should be noted that FBTC has an expense waiver until August 1st (if you're looking for one to try out without any expense ratio dipping into your performance).

[@piggelbos]

Great video Andrei, just one question though. All those ETFs follow the same bitcoin. How can there be so much difference in price after only one week? Or is that with fees included?

[@notxasj]

Yeah I'm not understanding how you can determine best and worst with only a week of data for something that has so much volatility.
