I religiously buy NVDA, IBIT every month
absolutely foolish decision to buy IBIT here. Wait for the bear and buy at half the price.
Do 70% VTI, 20% VXUS, & 10% IBIT (Bitcoin)... Lump sum all at once, then continue to add $500 of your income (or whatever is in your budget) every week, set it to recurring, set and forget.
Put it all in. That's DCA monthly anyway. I'd have 50% VOO, 40% QQQ and 10% IBIT, in general. I'd put IBIT in the Roth.
You are reddited if you think it had zero inflows, and so is everyone who upvoted you. Bots and people both trade IBIT like candy. There is an absolutely zero chance that it had zero inflows at all. It was zero net inflows, and you should not be posting in this subreddit if you were dumb enough to write or upvote that comment.
On top of being able to buy it in tax-advantaged accounts. I’ve got a small chunk of my IRA in IBIT for example.
Just started getting into crypto ETF (IBIT). Hoping to see something good in the future.
Just buy IBIT if you want to play games like that
VOO finally deciding to help IBIT keep my Roth in the black for the year.
Just realized my port is MATING MRNA, AMZN, TSLA, IBIT, NVDA, GOOG 
> Blackrock has a sizable family office practice, This conversation is focused on their investment products, until you can show me their advisory group singing and dancing about any asset then you're just guessing and attempting to represent as fact. >I could be off-base, but my understanding was that they had incorporated IBIT into certain strategies - I know Fidelity added FBTC to certain target date funds - and this is a big reason why these products were so successful. Sure, but are you attempting to tie this to the prior conversation? Because they're obviously separate. >by incorporating Bitcoin into this mix, they’re risking losing assets if it underperforms. No they aren't lol. These firms have thousands of different products you're honing in on one like it's the most important thing they ever did. Do you think Blackrock is putting all of it's investment might behind like south african bond funds too? I really think some of y'all are so emotionally wrapped up in an asset that you view every comment as hostile towards it even when they're just a person trying to explain how an industry works. Some of y'all would be so much more knowledgeable if you listened and asked questions rather than reflexively trying to argue.
That’s not correct. Blackrock has a sizable family office practice, and solutions for UHNI. They also are actively expanding wealth management capabilities. No, they aren’t like a Merrill Lynch, where you have some boomer with a couple mil letting blackrock run their money, but they certainly operate in the institutional tier of private wealth. I could be off-base, but my understanding was that they had incorporated IBIT into certain strategies - I know Fidelity added FBTC to certain target date funds - and this is a big reason why these products were so successful. There’s also the argument that they have immense retail channel exposure via their products, and even if they aren’t direct allocators, they benefit from allocation. Again, by incorporating Bitcoin into this mix, they’re risking losing assets if it underperforms.
Its all on earnings now take your bets. No rate cuts potential war, the only thing holding this shit up is strong earnings. Going 90/10 IBIT/TQQQ post earnings and holding till 2025. Tokenization is the future. Still got December 800 NVDA Calls I will sell before or around election day.
I’m sorry does he know about IBIT?
Holy shit lol. Market is up +5% YTD and we got suicide help threads lol. What is this? Green day for me and I’m a bull! Thanks $IBIT!
Holy shit lol. Market is up +5% YTD and we got suicide help threads lol. What is this? Green day for me and I’m a bull! Thanks $IBIT!
Calls: TSLA, LMT, HAL, GD, WM, AZN, META, IBIT Puts: UPS
Next news: Gary Gensler is joining Blackrock as Fund Manager for IBIT.
Guess who bought Bitcoin and BITO, IBIT yesterday. ME! ahahahahaha feels good man
Not an etf but $MSTR. IBIT is the one from black rock that launched recently but I prefer MSTR.
Wait until you see IBIT during a Bitcoin crash
Is buying FBTC or IBIT better exposure to the BTC? like is there a share conversion to coins
My IBIT shares will get margin called if corn gets to 40k
Forget the miner and just go in on IBIT!
Stick with RIOT or MARA. Or just cash it into IBIT. Now is not the time to sell these IMHO as I believe we are in the middle of a shake out. I wouldn’t ape into VOO or SPY at these levels either. Personally, I have sold almost all of the magnificent 7 at this point and bought PSLV and GLD, and SGOV over the last few months. SGOV is paying 5.3% right now (minus fees). Just be ready to sell when rate cuts start. I am holding industrial stocks like Honeywell and MMM. I like Teradyne and Intel for CHIPS Act reasons. If you want to do simple index, look into RSP. This is equal weight S&P. I feel like this would expose you less to the deflation of the Mag 7. Of course I could be wrong about everything, too.
if these IBIT inflows ever slow down, shit is gonna hit the fan
I don't know about the halving, but I've already concluded the IBIT play. I'm out with 4.70%. [Wrote the details here](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1c45esj/comment/kzojsfc/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).
I'm calling the IBIT play concluded. She has more room to fall, but she bounced off her support at $35.50, which feels like a stronger support, and I do not play Bitcoin. Someone else mentioned the '[week of the halving](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1c45esj/comment/kzlgqjr/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button).' I'm unaware of that, and markets are choppy, so I'm not holding her overnight. IBIT dropped as low as -6.82% today. I caught -4.70% of that drop, which is decent for an intraday play.
As I mentioned in the comments regarding the IBIT play, Israel's war cabinet is still debating how to respond. So, the DD's catalyst hasn't happened yet, but I'm seeing the Positive Volume Index moving on several symbols from my watchlist, which tells me some players are positioning toward the move I expect. However, the news headlines will focus on Trump's trial today, so any move is bound to be more muted unless a strike actually happens--which is very unlikely to happen anytime soon, considering Israel is taking time to decide.
IBIT's support at her low $37s seems to be failing. I think it will fail.
[IBIT BanBet won](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/1c4in28/comment/kzoifqw/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) (-2%). There might be support at her low $37s, and Israel's war cabinet is still debating how to respond. My DD relies on Israel doing something. A war isn't needed. It could just be a headline that can make investors realize the Israel-Iran potential war narrative did not conclude, as most commenters here have already considered.
Bought 10k of IBIT im prepped for this halving
Shorting IBIT the week of the halving could be a big brain move, or maybe not so much. Can't wait to see how that plays out.
IBIT etf or do fractional bitcoin.
If you are new to investing then I assume you are young. I would get rid of BND and replace with a little bitcoin IBIT. Can start buying bonds at older age closer to retirement. Bonds are more for preserving capital than building wealth. They can lower the volatility of a portfolio too but young people should just ignore the short term ups and downs and keep adding to investments regularly and guaranteed they will be worth more in 20-30 years than they are now. The rest of the funds I see here are good. Keep adding to them. #NotInvestmentAdvice :P
If you have a long timeframe put 90% in an ETF like QQQ, VOO, VTI and 10% in a Bitcoin ETF like IBIT or ARKB then forget about it. Bitcoin will dominate the economy and its important to get exposure to it other than owning than a relatively safe ETF that tracks the market.
time to trim some and roll it into IBIT
BLK beat on IBIT alone! Lfg
The question is which Option are we gonna Call? MSTR, BITO, IBIT? img
A lot of people have recommended BTC. If you choose that and don't want to deal with wallets and crypto exchanges, buy $IBIT, the BTC ETF.
That's not investing. You don't "invest" for a wedding in 6 months. You invest for retirement or for 10 years at least. In that case I'd say IBIT. For you purposes, just put it in a money market fund.
JPM, Wells IBIT
In reality - even if a fund terminates - shareholders will get the NAV back minus expenses. And there is usually adequate notification so that's not really a huge problem. It's really more important to understand what you want to invest in - first. Even with older and established funds - there is always risk of termination if the net assets fall and the fund no longer is a priority - or if the fund's mandate overlaps with another fund from the fund manager. And with newer funds - the fund can become very popular very fast - but that may not necessary mean it's a good investment if it doesn't fit your investing thesis. For example - IBIT is an ETF that is less than 3 months old - but already has net assets of over 17.5Bn.
IBIT after the BTC halving will have a 20% dump from actual price and pump through out the rest of the year.
i switched from GBTC to IBIT in my Roth a month or so ago. now just waiting for an ETH version. 5% of overall portfolio. complicates and probably over all negligible to my portfolio but i like having skin in the game.
I found IBIT a good ETF. You can check that.
GBTC is a Bitcoin ETF now. However, as you acknowledged, the fee is egregious. IBIT charges a quarter point. Switch to that
Not financial advice. Do your own research High returns 1. Risky but lower risk - Semiconductor ETF (SOXX or SOXQ). Highest ETF return in the last 5 years. 2. Risky - Coinbase stock and Bitcoin ETF (IBIT or BTCO).
I’m a crypto degen and I’m here to tell you: please don’t put a significant amount into crypto, especially as crypto markets are just setting new all time highs, *especially* if you have no other investments to fall back on. First, create an account with a major brokerage. I like Fidelity for a bunch of reasons (great funds, better trading tools, more flexible than Vanguard, lets you dabble in crypto if you really want to, great checking account product too) Then ask yourself: if the market saw a big contraction in the next year and your portfolio lost 30% of its value, how would you feel? Do you want to use this money for anything in the next 5 years? 10 years? 20? I’ll say that if you plan to use the money in five years or less, put all of it in a money market fund. SPAXX is great. FDLXX has a roughly similar yield but is not subject to state and local taxes because it invests mostly in treasuries. If you live in a state with income tax or you are a high earner, FDLXX may provide better after-tax returns than SPAXX. You should research more from here if this sounds appealing. If you are not comfortable stomaching a possible 30% loss in value over the next 10 years, you should invest in stocks but tilt more conservative with a bond allocation. Anywhere between 10-40% of the money should go into a low cost, diversified bond fund like BND. The remainder should go into diversified index funds—either some mix of US and International like FSKAX or VTI plus FTIHX or VXUS. Or you could take the lazy (but still extremely valid and maybe even preferable) approach of putting all of your stock allocation—that is, whatever you don’t put into bonds—into a global fund like VT. If you have some risk tolerance and a longer time horizon, I would say it’s worth considering a 5% allocation to Bitcoin either by holding it directly on Fidelity Crypto or Coinbase or whatever, or by holding one of the Bitcoin ETFs like FBTC or IBIT. But don’t go crazy. Crypto his high risk / high reward. Most of the folks you see here will tell you it’s tantamount to gambling. I disagree on balance, but they’re not entirely off base. This is an entire debate unto itself.
So we cannot talk about 🌽 can we talk about $IBIT instead ? 🤔
I see nothing about key holders or fund flows on that IBIT page. Not only that, I couldn’t find anything on the internet at all about retail vs institutional flows. Probably too soon. However as a 27 year vet of institutional asset management, I don’t know any institutions buying IBIT. Or any crypto. If they can’t model it, they can’t buy it. The idea of expected return, expected risk, and correlation on a forward looking basis for Bitcoin is risibly absurd.
I mean I bought MSTR leaps way back in November and sold when it hit 1600 making a major profit. I am curious to see what it does but I’m out for now. I do own 1500 shares of IBIT and I’m happy there.
Bitcoin will be your best bet as far as risk and reward goes. It's a top 10 asset currently overtaking silver with blackrocks new ETF (IBIT) and will only get more scarce as the decades churn away
IBIT just not giving a fuck
You can’t transfer investments into an IRA, crypto or otherwise. You’d need to sell, contribute the cash, and rebuy on the other side. Also, currently securities and crypto have to be held in different accounts. Which isn’t an obstacle or anything, you can have multiple IRAs spread across multiple institutions if you like. You just need to keep your total contributions for the year within the IRS limits (and don’t forget those accounts exist). If you wanted your crypto, stocks, ETFs, and whatever else in one account, you’d need the crypto to be indirectly owned via a regulated fund like IBIT or FBTC (other brands are available).
Full ported my Roth into 50% TSLA, 25% IBIT and 25% MJ
I bought in IBIT at $25 per. Its around $36 right now. My out is at $50. About 20% of my brokerage account right now (none in my IRA which is 70% VOO and 30% QQQM). Its fun too watch the asset roller coaster around but I would just YOLO and hold until eventually you meet your out or bust.
I think you're seeing very short-term movements that don't mean much. Now that BTC is "established" and also easier to invest in since SEC approval of spot BTC ETFs, I've started a small BTC-linked position (in the IBIT ETF.) In general and over the longer term precious-metal assets and BTC-linked assets should perform similarly.
Check out a BTC ETF for growth; FBTC, IBIT, etc.
100% into IBIT … keep adding to it monthly
31 years old, investing since 2009 As of today - 100% IBIT [https://imgur.com/a/0gL4Y47](https://imgur.com/a/0gL4Y47)
Grayscale needs to get the SEC to agree to options trading for their Bitcoin products. I can sell covered calls on BITO against my stack of IBIT and mitigate a majority of the risk while capturing all the upside through the cycle.
Yolo what your take on this guys IBIT It has the highest inflow but still not over bought sitting at 11b inflow with total eval at 17b worth of bitcoin. Bitcoin prediction are seeming to land somewhere in the 120-140k range. With ibit similarly following bitcoins trend line and an gain of like 60percent isn't not crazy to think that this stock has the potential to out perform bitcoins bull run based on the simple fact that it's not over bought yet. Cause from what I see ibit could do potentially 3xvs bitcoins two x. In addition we have the fact that ibit is most poplar etf at the moment. I wanna here's your guys take please and thank you.
Do not invest in BITO (or similar ETF) unless you're okay with losing it. It's literally gambling. I say this as someone who holds IBIT. But it's less than 1.5% of my net worth.
Blackrock’s Bitcoin etf IBIT. It has broken records for inflows. Over 20 billion dollars since it’s opened, but no one is looking at the increase it will have on blackrock’s assets under management. Which has grown atleast 50% so I’m buying $1000 strike price for 4/19/24. Earnings for BLK is 4/12/24 pre-market. Right now going for $0.25 each. If it gets in the money will be nice but if it gets $100 in the money….. will be life changing play.
Yes! It was truly experimental and I was anticipating/comfortable losing what I spent on the contract. I figured worst thing that happens is I’m out the $34. DCAing into VOO & BTC currently. Have stock in IBIT and a small amount in a couple other individual stocks that I have personal interest and some faith in.
VOO QQQM SCHD and chill. Maybe add in a slice MSTR coupled w/ IBIT
Sell it all and buy IBIT, PLTR and or BTC miners.
IBIT and FBTC. If it pans out a 5% allocation could be life changing and maybe worth the risk for you
That sent before I saw your response. I’m invested in FXAIX, AVUV, SMH, COST, and added a bit of IBIT just incase. Will be adding some international diversification in the near future. These are my long term investments, but I also swing trade.
IBIO IBIT GOOGL That's all you need to know.
I'll say my convictions are strongest with NVDA, AMD, CRSP, FCX, IAU, IBIT, ORCL for a longer period of time. If you want to do your research on those and answer your own question as to why I'm buying them, I guess that meets in the middle without me getting into it all. Probably worth noting that a majority of my retirement is in index funds, mutual funds, money market even and more broad ETFs like VOO and VTI. This allows me to double down on convictions on single equities within a brokerage or some even in my Roth. The diversification with my bread and butter allows me to take some risks as well.
IBIT is 90% of my IRA, would you like my advice? lol
Keep holding onto long term NVDA, MSFT, IBIT.
I still remember IBIT at 22. Did I buy? No
Short answer no lol, have you not seen the news with blackrock waiting to add their IBIT to some of their ETF’s, also the halving is coming up (you clearly don’t understand simple supply and demand dynamics if you can’t see why that’s huge with the recent inflow of ETF buy pressure) also what happens when another country like El Salvador recognizes it as legal tender. Keep saying it’s all worthless from the sidelines if you’d like
I’ve done well with having both VOO and QQQM as my core etf investments. I even have a smaller position in IBIT
IBIT hasnt done anything for me, BITO has
Why not switch to IBIT at this point.
IBIT. But it’s more like twenty years.
All you have to do is buy $IBIT and let it sit until it doubles.
I did buy IBIT when it came out. Not too much, but enough that I am happy with how it has performed so far, and with the halfing coming up, who knows.
IBIT Higher CAGR than the S&P500 and it is going to accelerate.
Yes. I would also study Bitcoin too so you understand where it’s going and why people need it. There are plenty of good resources out there. *The Bitcoin Standard* is a great book. [This video is](https://youtu.be/UMK_A0mF8PQ?si=dUU-5dRMhBhii1z4) one of the best introductions out there. Michael Saylor is also a great resource. He’s one of the best experts out there and there are plenty of videos of him discussing Bitcoin. There are two ways that I believe are the best ways to gain exposure to Bitcoin. The safest is to just buy one of the Bitcoin ETFs. FBTC (Fidelity) and IBIT (Blackrock) are two good ones. This offers you easy access to Bitcoin and it’s protected by these institutions. The second way is to get a hardware wallet and store your keys offline. This means you become your own bank. This comes with much greater responsibility. However, it is the best thing to do if you want to own your own Bitcoin. Storing Bitcoin yourself means you fully own the asset yourself. It’s 100% yours. If you want to own a hardware wallet you *need* to research how to keep your Bitcoin safe. It isn’t complicated, but don’t go in blind. I invest in Bitcoin using a Trezor hardware wallet and FBTC. It spreads the risk around in a way that I like.
