Investment Q&A

Q: I am a bit confused with BMNR. I was under impression that this is a leveraged Etherium play, and expected the stock amplify the changes in Etherium price. However, when I look at the price changes for the past 2 months, as of today Nov 3, the ETHA is down 13% while BMNR is up 7% since September 1. Can you explain this anomaly please? Do I misunderstand the business model of BMNR?

Q: Hello 5i,

There is a lot of noise about Stablecoins, gold, US debt reduction and opportunities in crypto coins to take advantage of servicing transactions. IF Stablecoins are rolled out by the US gov't, how will this affect GLXY?

Do you have Crypto suggestions if Stablecoins are backed by the US gov't? Most of this is above our heads but Trump knows how to go bankrupt and make a fortune.

Thank you

Q: I am planning to invest $5k for the long term (10 years) in Ethereum/crypto-related stocks. This represents 1% of my portfolio.

Q: Hi,

With the passing of new crypto legislation and the rise of ETH and stable coins, what do you think is the best way to play this and does it have long term growth potential? Also what are the big risks? Looking for a pick and shovels name. Now that the legislation has been passed, is this more sell the news?

In the crypto space, I'm only holding GLXY (4%), which I'm up 75% and has done very well. I also have core long term holdings in V, JPM, and MA. Could stable coins hurt or benefit these names as well or are they complementary? Been watching CRCL, HOOD and COIN as well but they've been on a tear and I'm hesitant to buy at these levels. Thanks!

Q: Thanks very much for your really insightful answers.
Which ETFs capture the blockchain technology space? Any ranked recommendations?

Q: I have a low cost base on MSTR and it has become wildly outsized as a position in my portfolio. I want to maintain significant exposure to BTC and crypto more generally but diversify this exposure to maintain my exposure levels while reducing the company specific risks that I currently have. To keep this outside of being direct investing advice, if you were to start a small crypto portfolio using $10,000 and wanted MSTR to be a part of it, what else would you buy and in what position size to enjoy diversified crypto exposure? Note, it doesn't have to be all directly tied to BTC if you think ETH or SOL deserve attention.

Thanks!

Q: I would like to start a position in the crypto/blockchain space of approximately 5% in my portfolio. How do you best envision me achieving this goal?

Q: What does Stablecoin to the price of Ethereum? I understand that Stablecoins are pegged to USD. If more transactions happen on the Ethereum network, why would the value of Ethereum increase? I can't see the connection.

If I wanted to dip my foot into Ethereum, should I buy ETFs like ETHA? Any other recommendations?

Q: Genius act being passed in the USA for stablecoins. Will this effect other, Crypto etc
Does 5I have any suggestion for stocks or wait & see. will it also effect payment type stocks. Tks 5i

Q: Can you recommend stocks or ETFs in blockchain technology?

Q: seeing that you own some crypto I'm thinking I may get my toes wet, so to speak. At current prices, which one ETF would you favor of the above?
Also, I have more Canadian money available than US, is there disadvantage to IBIT.CA?
Should these be purchased in a Cash account, self directed RSP or TFSA?
Deduct as many questions as you need. I'll never get through these credits!

Q: What is the best way to invest in crypto curriences 1) best known 2) lesser known thanks

Q: Hello 5 I,

Just wondering the best avenue to invest it Bitcoin or Etherium directly. I dont want to do the whole wallet route and want to hold in my brokerage account. With that said is there a product that directly moves with the ETH and Bitcoin? Are either of them buys in your eyes? Thanks

Q: Ethereum has dropped from a high of $4100 to below $2600, could you please explain why, also when Bitcoin has generally stayed in the $100k range? Is this a buying opportunity? If it is, is there a Canadian ETF to put money into? Thanks in advance. Also, many thanks for your answer on my previous question on BTC, it was extremely detailed and well thought out.

Q: With the runup in bitcoin to $100K, do you think there's more potential in etherium and if so, what would be the best ways to play it?

thnx in advance
Dave

Q: 1. What is the best Bitcoin and Ethereum Fund to Purchase to Invest in these 2 Crypto Currencies that are as closest to buying the actual currency on Netcoins , Coinbase, Etc

2. I have dealt with Netcoins and Coinbase in the past, but lately I am having issues dealing with them to purchase these currencies... They do not make it easy for me with their security features...
- Their websites and Apps dont give proper access to their services or how to access them to change settings... Especially Netcoins...
- Coinbase is troubling in the fact that you can only transfer funds back to Canadian or US dollars by using Paypal

3. Please provide answers & thoughts ...

4. I know this is not your main specialty, but I would appreciate your take on these questions and your overall opinion...

Thanks,
M
