Q: Hi 5i Team - I can't remember the source but have heard a comment stating that Web 3 and AI will bolster each other. First of all, do you know what this might mean and also are there any companies that could benefit from it.
Thanks.

Q: I have recently become aware of the potentially valuable AI aspect of the otherwise uninteresting (to me) bitcoin mining business. Which firms are best situated to profit from AI?
Best regards

Q: Thank you for the great explanation on bitcoin and the upcoming halving a few days ago. I have owned a few bitcoin mining companies for sometime, definitely been going up and down over the years but recently they have gone below 30%. Would I be better off selling the mining companies and putting my money into the bitcoin ETFs?

Q: With the potential Bit Coin Spot ETF ruling on January 10th from the SEC being a positive one for BlackRock, Vanguard, Fidelity, Ark and other Investment Companies, does it make sense (and dollars) to take a nibble on HIVE or MARA (knowing there would be a 30% currency hit in the case of Mara)? I realize things will be very volatile so just a small position to start. Thanks, Lesley

Q: Hi,

Currently have no exposure to crypto and have been a spectator on the sidelines mainly. I held positions in HUT and HIVE awhile back but sold those. With almost certain approval of a spot bitcoin ETF, the market is gaining optimism and it seems investors are more bullish on crypto. What is your view on the current crypto market? Is this run up going to be followed by another crash or do you see more sustained rally with the new ETF? Is this rally going to be followed by another selloff once the ETF news is approved?

What are some low, med, higher risks positions to gain exposure if one wanted some small exposure. Here are some I'm watching. Can you rank whether they are low, med, or higher risk.

HUT, HIVE, BITF, RIOT, DGHI, MSTR, RIOT, COIN, GLXY

I know you own GLXY in the model portfolio already. Also, what would be your top ETF for exposure?

I'm a very disciplined investor, but on the edge of FOMO ; )

Thanks!

Q: Apparently there was a crypto or blockchain conference within the last week attended by some of the wealthiest individuals and companies on the planet.

Would you know what it was called?

1.It seems clear that some very influential people want this area to have a place in the world banking and trading worlds.


2. One commentator ( Josh Brown ) expressed the opinion that for the foreseeable future it will be very high risk kind of like gold mines over the years. But there might be money to be made in the picks & shovels companies..

Do you have any suggestions of companies that have merit or look to have potential in that picks & shovels areas?

Thank you

Q: Hi Team,

Do you see this as legitimate business model similar to a hard asset miner but 'digital' instead? Or do you see this more as fluff and a casino model? Trying to objectively look at both sides.

Which 2 or 3 would you consider if one was to purchase?

Thanks!

Q: HI,
you had mentioned recently that we could be in another historic buying opportunity for growthy small caps. along those lines...
this list contains some of my small cap/more speculative holdings. could you comment on these as a current buy, sell, or hold. I am a long term investor ( 5-many years). and if any are screaming "I am going to zero" (like Xebec). and do you have high conviction on any other small cap growth stocks presently? cheers

Q: Hello Peter,
When Brookfield first indicated that they were going to spin off the asset management unit, the stock popped alot, but then subsided. Now, the spinoff is more certain as opposed to just mentioning it, why is the stock not behaving as it did when the first announcement was made? Please provide your view. Given USA is still delaying its legalization of marijuana, I was deciding on Weed or Hut mining given both are volatile. What would make sense ? Thanks very much
