Q: What are your thoughts on BITCOIN. What is best way to play it or is there one.? I do not understand the future of Bitcoin Who uses it ? Do countries use it, do Corporations use it. Do Banks use it ? What is benefit of using it,

I know criminals use it extortion payments Trump and Harris were backing it. Was this because 80,000,000 U S Residents use it so they were both saying Yes to get their vote ?

Q: Lots of volatility based on the election results. This may be too early to ask, but are there any stocks that have risen (or fallen) too much on fundamentals as a result of the election? Looking for potential sell (or buy) opportunities if you think appropriate.

Q: I have long held both and am intrigued as they now move in opposite directions. Within the last few months I believe MARA has reached heights 50% greater than today's levels and yet despite the spike in BTC, it falls while MSTR rolls. I understand that MSTR is closer to a pure play on bitcoin whereas MARA is a miner and has operating risks and would ask if you can explain what has led to MARA being punished as BTC rose from 50k to 70? If gold goes up, so to do most miners so I'm thinking there as to be more to the story. Lastly, if you believe BTC goes higher, does exposure to a company like MARA who stand to benefit make sense to add or hold?

Q: Can you suggest some Canadian and US listed stocks and ETF's one might want consider to get a small exposure to BlockChain in a TFSA. Do any of these companies make any money? Do you think the ETF's are reasonable proxies for BitCoin but with less volatility?

Q: I've owned this stock for over a year now. It moves with BTC and sometimes goes up and down proportionally and many times moves at a premium to BTC.

Over the last week it has performed very differently to how it has over the past year VASTLY underperforming the underlying asset.

I know all about the company and its holdings of BTC, don't spend time explaining that.

I've searched everywhere and cannot determine why MSTR is so underperforming BTC in the past 7 trading days where BTC has moved very bullishly.

eg.

Currently BTC is up 5.47% and MSTR is up 1.2%

Over the past 5 days BTC is up 9.75% and MSTR is down 8.9%

Can you advise why the major discrepency?


Thanks

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: I know that Square, Paypal and MicroStrategy have Bitcoin on their balance sheets. How much of an influence do you think this is having on each companies share price? What is the per share value of the Bitcoin that each company holds? Thank you.
