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: 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: Quick turn around in this stock, from a Private Placement to potentially tripling the Bitcoin rewards in the purchase of new machines. Volume seems incredible. Normally 8M shares on NasDaq, today 46M. Normally 1.5M shares on TSX, today 6.5M. I assume when high volume and a positive day is almost always a good thing? Maybe a hedge fund or ETF building a position?
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.
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?
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?
Q: Could you please explain the impact of their new announcement. I don’t understand what 1.18 EH/s and hash rate means. How do they compare to other Bitcoin type investments
Q: Could you give me your top 3-4. Lithium related plays for growth potential in politically safe areas with your reasoning.
And your top 3-4 block chain plays for growth long and short term and your reasoning please.
What are your thoughts on
Bitf for a blockchain and Bitcoin play and also your thoughts on btcc.b an etf listing tomorrow.
I apologize I probably should have sent a few emails. Thank you for your great advice over the years.
Mike
Q: Could you give your prospective on today’s announcement the at stock is rocking. Could you also explain in a little less high teck technical terms. What the announcement actually means. I don’t understand how bitcoins are actually manufactured.
I have a very small spec position in Bitfarms who secure cheap power and lease state of the art computing power to mine bitcoin. They promote their good "mining margin" and "mining profit" (non-IFRS measures) however they still show a net loss (Q2 2020). Could you give a non-accountant like me the readers digest version of where all the money vanishes between the "mining profit " and the net loss. Also, your view on future prospects for BITF would be appreciated. I am up 40% on a small investment - take the money and run or does this thing have the potential to be one of those 2 or 3x home runs? I feel compelled to add that I believe my #1 investing mistake is selling too soon. Perhaps more than 1 question so deduct as required,
Q: Great service—thx. Could you pls comment on Hut8 recent earnings? You mentioned in the past that you wanted to see them make a profit. Do you have a preference for BITF or HUT8 pls?
With gratitude
