00:00 Introduction
01:10 Where to Ask Questions
01:22 Can you please explain how the ETF prices will increase if Bitcoin goes up? How does the price go up if these companies buy otc - or is the liquidity pool so small that they will have to buy public as well? Would you recommend holding some shares in an ETF if you are not a wholecoiner?
01:47 ETF is all OTC
04:15 If ETF is Only On Ramp to Wholecoiner
05:26 Now we got ETF approval SEC, will all the ETF issuers be reporting to SEC how much BTC they are holding corresponding to their share issuance just like company quarterly results? How does SEC make sure they are not issuing shares without backing up by actual BTC?
05:48 There’s such a huge range of prices with the ETFs. With GBTC we knew if it was discount or not because we understood AUM. How can the ETFs be analyzed to see if one is more expensive relative to the others ignoring the known fees? Thinking ARB opportunities...
06:38 Wall St Fun and Games - Tks for Playing
08:07 We Have Built ARB Models Already, i.e. Arb Cloud
08:32 Since price volatility is 24x7x366 (leap year) via CEXs/DEXs, how will this impact investors in impending BTC ETFs, or...
08:52 Yes
09:17 Market Makers Make Massive Money
10:39 What are IA strategies to tackle BTC ETF’s as you already have miner stocks, MSTR and pure form?
10:55 Strategies
12:13 Would it be possible that MicroStrategy and Tesla sell their Bitcoin to buy the ETF to avoid any self custody mistakes now that fees are so low? Would it still be worth it to own MSTR since most shareholders don’t do any ju-ju?
12:54 Would TSLA & MSTR Sell
13:24 BTC vs MSTR vs ETF
15:31 BTC vs MSTR vs ETF - IA Edit
16:33 Bags packed but feel that BTC may grow faster than TSLA short term. Do you think it’s wise to swap it and take advantage of the ETF and halving?
16:75 BTC/TSLA on ATR
18:27 4 S Curves Colliding
19:06 Tesla is all Retail… FOR NOW!
20:35 Tesla FSD Update
21:13 This BOT is Very Real and will be Bigger Than FSD
22:00 Will the Bitcoin Miners be strongly hurt by the ETF approval e.g. do you see MARA and MIGI going down?
22:58 Marathon on ATR
24:00 Mawson $MIGI on ATR
24:50 Why don't you ever discuss Bitwise BITW as you do Greyscale GBTC? Is the Bitwise product an inferior proxy? It seems to have a deeper discount than GBTC right now which I imagine is a positive since once the...
25:55 I Do Not Like the Holdings
26:10 I Do Not Like the Fees
26:16 Performance Sucks
26:57 Discount May Not Vanish
28:19 You mentioned that air drops aren’t safe. I’ve read about a Jupiter (JUP) airdrop. Should I stay far away from this and just purchase Jup outright once it becomes available? If yes, where will it be available for purchase?
28:47 AirDrops
29:57 Re Jupiter AirDrop

32:30 Can you become wealthy only trading SPOT, or do you really need to learn to trade options?
32:41 Yes You Sure Can
33:48 3 legged stool question…2 out of 3 complete, 36yr old with BTC, MSTR, SOL & TSLA retirement targets hit but no castle. Plan to take profit over cycle and aim for a 20-30% castle deposit & purchase in Nov 2025-Jan 2026 then rebuild retirement bags. Would you do something different?

I love when James gets emotional and hides it! You cant hide it James and you dont need to. We ALL love you soo much. Continue to be strong and YAH bless you brother!

[@K_Villain_]

He’s the best in the space 💯🔥

[@davidm3509]

I think the main reason to hold an BTC ETF is hold it in a TAX exempt account like a ROTH or TFSA

[@RC-mz4jf]

So grateful for you James and the IA Team!

[@AquaRover]

James, you should take great pride in helping people achieve their retirement goals. Keep the hard work going!

[@butterball7444]

Very happy to have found you! Your Patreon and this channel have given me the knowledge I needed to be confident in this space. Thanks a ton

[@mmnnmt]

The emotion you clearly felt when discussing the success of one of the people you help - just further highlights the good human that you are, James.

[@zombievac]

The reason James is the best around is his reaction around 42:30!! ❤

[@Garce227]

I am just a James student and loves his amazing teachings. We the community love you and hope to be here for a long time.

Loved this Q&A and the Greater Yellowstone Coalition donation! Very cool, I love being a part of this IA family :) Thanks for all your hard work, you make a difference in your viewers' lives AND those sweet animals. Many thanks.

[@sungoddogg]

I hate KZbinrs who make dumb analysis purely based on charts. What r they gonna analyze after btc goes above 69k?.. pretty ridiculous. N they underestimate effect of etf as if btc is doomed to trade between 15k-69k forever. Nimrods. Thanx James. One of the few sane n objective ones on KZbin.

[@backtothebarky]

Your comments on spot trading are encouraging. Most you tubers in this game are promoting leverage trading exchanges. This shows you're the real deal thanks for your efforts James watching every day, great momentum you have keep going!

[@sirwinston-nk6vt]

Thanks for keeping my mind at ease during these volatile times.

[@ServantOfYHWH]

This is the best microphone you’ve ever used.

[@InvestAnswers]

wow thank u

[@nicoimpact7045]

Bitcoin ETFs are good for long term BTC exposure in IRAs. That’s about it. Otherwise you should be buying spot BTC and holding your private keys. 😊

[@NorthernMonkey2]

James the sailor sc am advert is still showing. You need to start video with a warning for nubies. Otherwise GREAT show as always. GREAT education.

[@peterekberg]

James, you are such a beautiful soul. Really warms my heart to see the love and care that you have for all of us out there making our way through the financial djungle. Can't thank you enough!

[@smileystevie9662]

Thanks, James and the IA team.

[@BTCMPOWERS]

James, Michael Saylor did an interview where he said (unless AI generated) he was going to sell some of his personal shares thru April to buy more Bitcoin in his own Acct. The numbers he thru out was 5000/ day depending on the price. It has gotten to the point where you never know for sure what to believe online anymore but it all seem to make sense? GL and TY Miike

[@InvestAnswers]

i heard the same, sounds fair he still has a huge bag and needs to take some chips off the table, would look bad to do it at all time high

[@21millionreasons]

I think James is AI 🤔 😏

[@sebfox2194]

Sounds legit, although in the ad before this video, an AI generated Michael Saylor said that if I sent him bitcoin, he'd send me back twice as much. To repay the community for their support! 😂😂😂 I have reported these ads multiple times, but KZbin doesn't remove them. I guess they aren't worried about getting in trouble with regulators. 🤷

[@BTCMPOWERS]

I would love to have michael Saylor and/or Mark Yusko on now that the ETF is here. The three of you would be Epic. @@InvestAnswers

[@matt_cone8573]

Do a miner update. I bought cypher recently. Own a ton of riot already, but liked cypher after your last video

[@willcollins5660]

James, mic works great. Before I did complain about your volume/voice projection, and I notice after that it had no longer been an issue.

[@martynsmith6263]

James does not sleep. What an unbelievable effort. I would love to do an internship at I.A. head quarters to see the cogs of the machine turning live..haha. Many thanks as always . Legend.

[@meme64561]

Thank you for expert opinion! Grateful for you James!

James the hi end on this mic or your eq is a bit hot causing sibilance (snake callsss :) if roll off the hi end (2-5k) by about 2-3 decibels. Love your content thank you!

[@Scooter1E]

Please, please, please! Can you do a breakdown on investing in Real Estate (i.e. Air Bnb and Renting) vs investing in Bitcoin? Can you include some of the potential Real Estate tax benefits as well? No one has ever really done it! You're the only one I trust! Thanks in advance!

[@wealthmodernmanmastery9330]

Your mortgage example is precisely our situation. We decided to put down 10% instead of 20% to invest in BTC back in 2021

I hate to give you "credit" for that but I'll buy that dip!!

[@oxonianabroad]

Great vid as always James. Some puffs and pops on the new mic. Maybe too close? Thanks!

[@InvestAnswers]

ok thanks for sharing

[@TimeWastingMachine]

I don't understand how otc markets can even exist. How is that legal? How come I can't buy at a lower price too?

[@InvestAnswers]

me neither

[@TimeWastingMachine]

@@InvestAnswers from a purely basic principles standpoint... Why is it that coinbase (or any other OTC provider) would sell Bitcoin at a lower price than what they could sell to the rest of us?

[@ProtossEver]

Glad to hear that I am not alone that founds the otc very shady

[@coreythomas7845]

[@GameFeverFunHouse]

love your faster horses, they make a lot of money, thank you!

[@AbundanceRains]

Appreciate the content, always, thank you James. I would never have the time to do the analysis you share many times a day! A question: If MSTR sell their BTC, that will affect their value … if I understand correctly, ETF’s needs to hold the BTC based on the fund value, does this hold for MSTR? Are we relying on MSTR to hold the BTC, or is there a condition where they “ have” too, based on the share price?

[@alex0223841154]

[@jessehawkins3921]

@james what are your thoughts on the eth chart at the moment + eth ETF hype? Btc is at a big resistance level and eth has room to play catch up. May outperform up to August ETF decision

[@mikewoodspropertychannel]

Thanks again, James, caught up with this Monday am Uk time. Was wondering how the ETFs were stacking BTC without hitting the price on the open market. I get the OTC and how when this dries up they have to then go to the market.

[@trevedmunds]

[@williamd946]

Hi James. Be nice to see a good tutorial on Uxtos and managing them, and maybe a tutorial on Sparrow wallet, which many people are connecting to their hardware wallets to manage Utxos and to transact privately. A little leery of connecting my hardware wallet to anything, but I'd like to see my utxos and maybe combine some to reduce fees in the future, and to prevent any from becoming trapped by fees that make moving them unattractive. Thank you. Peace.

[@thewilkinsons7468]

Can you explain why hot wallets are like this, I don’t understand why you need to trust the air drop why isn’t it like giving someone your address to send you a coin. It’s not that I don’t understand how it works but why they are created this way. Thanks Kris

James what's the longest EFT companies can wait until they convert the cash they get into bitcoin. Or can they wait as long as they want as the etf holder only owns "paper" bitcoin

I’m slightly thinking that Basically they took investors money and bought up BTC pushing up the price, then they sold their own BTC dropping the market and again are buying back in at the lower price

[@EverymanJWL]

James, do you offer any tools (behind the pay wall) to track your investements? Such as spreadsheets etc.? I am playing hell trying to track all my investments across exchanges, IRA's etc. It's really become a problem. I lose track of what the absolute hell I am doing! Like what is in long term gainz, what is not, average coin/share price, % of portfolio allocations (pie chart). I cannot find any good solutions and I suck with excel. Could you let me know what your program offers in that regard, or if not any suggestions from you or the community would be greatly appreciated!!

To be eligible for the first Jupiter airdrop, 955,000 wallets that interacted with Jupiter directly before November 2, 2023 are eligible. You had to be in Jupiter prior to November 2 for first drop.

[@Crypto_Bird]

James, there are hundreds of thousands of BTC on exchanges, with miners consistently sending it to these platforms even more when the US Government, dumps their bags. If these large institutions keep buying OTC the price can remain stable throughout the entire bull market. Can you explain why the price of bitcoin isn't priced on the actual amount that's produced?

[@soltrain9332]

Thanks James

[@ricocaliente5344]

Does it make sense to move some pure form BTC into a Roth IRA ETF to avoid future tax payments on gains? USA allows $14,000 (married couple) in 2024.
