ETF Battles: GBTC vs. TIP - Bitcoin against TIPS, Which is the Better Inflation Hedge?

[@jc01057]

#1 lesson here is Do not trust David Kreinces. 😂 I’ll try to remember not to buy anything with his name on it. The real “risk” is potential loss of opportunity 😂. Way to not answer the question. Cost is very quantifiable. Yet he picked the other one a made a slick argument for it.

JC: There's two sides to every viewpoint and in Dave's defense, he's been a) consistent with his picks and b) correct about many important money making trends like bitcoin and ethereum. The beauty of #ETFBattles is there's viewpoints from many different angles, it's up to each of us to pick the views that best align with our goals and philosophy. I hope you're enjoying the show! Warm regards, Ron

Ron, I enjoy this format where you present alternatives. I now have a firmer understanding of investing tools such as tip and gbtc. The risk reward is the most interesting discussion. Trends or cycle does seem rather important because purchasing near a market top would suggest a time to trade out which should be added to your mix to inform the viewer.

Mark: You raise some interesting points, particularly on how to nail the timing issue. I've been mulling this issue and how to best address it inside the show. Glad you're enjoying the show, don't forget to subscribe to our channel and right now #ETFbattles is in Season II so be sure to check out our new weekly episodes. Take care, Ron

Would love to see an episode with Dave and Mike both casually talking about their investment outlooks and insights for the future. Love the debates.

one word. sitcom

[@Marmots4reFun]

Interesting, informative, and entertaining - thank you! Apples and cupcakes, indeed (frosting, mmm...so healthy).

[@FerallHog]

Easy answer: Grayscale

[@Flipo_99]

You should do NTSX vs VOO. I chose NTSX but I'd like to hear your opinions on those two.

[@etfguide]

Got it. Thank you OlivierDF!

[@goliathonscave9834]

As an inflation hedge, I would choose GBTC as the winner due to its significant upside.

Thanks for another awesome and timely video, Ron. I had a question for Mike. I am curious to know his favorite ETF . Dave shouts out to TQQQ every week (love it) but Mike hasn't yet named his rockstsr.

Hi Mary: Great questions and we'll find out. Stay tuned!

[@Theorychad99]

Doesn't bitcoin etfs kind of defeat the purpose of bitcoin?

[@etfguide]

Yes and no. YES because the exchange traded product (ETP) structure is only traded during stock market hours whereas bitcoin trading is 24/7. NO from the angle that to obtain bitcoin exposure in traditional securities brokerage accounts or retirement accounts, you can currently only do it with bitcoin linked ETPs.

These are like two opposite investments lol

[@etfguide]

...yeah, but opposites attract! 8-)

[@secondsandcents2479]

Comparing BTC to tulips in 2020...big yikes. Get educated.

[@goliathonscave9834]

The early adopters of cryptocurrencies would flat out reject any government cryptocoins.

[@etfguide]

GV: This is an accurate statement. It would also violate Bitcoin's original anti-establishment premise, right? Thanks for watching, Ron #ETFBattles
