iShares Bitcoin Trust ETF (IBIT) Options

Starting buying at bitcoin at 5k when everyone at thanksgiving table mocked me. Highest appreciating asset in the history of Civilization!

agreed

Nice way for the average investor to play Bitty!

$IBIT

Heading to all time highs

Where did everyone go, don't be scared of the uneducated munkeys here.

“ I want to make the United States the capital of AI and crypto”

Lots of call buying today meaning time for reversal IMO

Agree, I think they'll start moving it up three or four days before inauguration as they know this group coming in is pro crypto

From a technical perspective, the share price still searching for a bottom at this time.

However, imo one could start in steps to buy.

Anyway, that's my style of buying.

Thanks for the input.

Happy New Year & GLTY & GLTA

This one, IBIT is, by far, my largest holding.......if you are playing Crypto's, this is the place to be. IBIT is backed by Blackrock. BlackRock is the world's largest asset manager, with US$11.5 trillion in assets under management as of December 31, 2023........with IBIT you have the best of both worlds, A crypto, which follows BTC, dollar for dollar, and your investment can be bought, sold or held in every brokerage company in the world......Blackrock currently hold 551,000 BTC ..........BUY THE DIPS...........BUY THE DIPS...... https://treasuries.bitbo.io/blackrock-ibit/

My first look at the chart of IBIT.
IBIT share price had a Triple Bottom Breakdown on 18-Dec-2024
I think the bottom of this decline is not known at this time.
I would wait for price to settle/reverse or a bottom forms.
Good to see many appear to own, and or are interested in this stock. GLTA

The options are going crazy

Today is November 18th

OCC is the final approval. Almost ready for option trading pic.twitter.com/jwmHAWB5Wc— Penny Mover (@PennyMover) November 17, 2024

Further approvals are needed before the funds list officially, he wrote. “This is just one stage of approval, the OCC [Office of the Comptroller of the Currency] and CFTC [Commodity Futures Trading Commission] has to approve as well before they officially list,” he explained. “The other two don't have a 'clock' so not sure when they'll be approved. A big step tho nonetheless that the SEC came around.”

It is just getting started, unless you're trading it

Ahh we finally made it! cheers bro

Yes, I believe that is $41.99 🔥

Let it keep going IMO

ATH coming?

"Important note: This is just one stage of approval, the OCC and CFTC has to approve as well before they officially list," Balchunas continued. "The other two don't have a 'clock' so not sure when they'll be approved. A big step tho nonetheless that the SEC came around."

We may have a gap to fill down to $35 if you're looking to pick up more. Then with a bull may start after Columbus Day next month.

Nice day thus far...broke $37

It is overbought, yet we'll see what next month does for us

I guess you missed the whole point that is being made but that's fine.
Moving on to better informed people that talk on topic

So im supposed to tell you what im invested in, would you like buy sell advice too? sorry i dont go down that road anymore. IH is full of whackos and incompetence, current audience excluded. I dont share that stuff anymore, I got sick of criticism from truly clueless people. Im not talking about you. I also dont subscribe to private messages here, they are far left and completely off the rails with their deletion of information.

I asked for more info and you replied I've moved stuff around. So that is all I got.
Just thought a mod of the board would be active and know a lot but that is where it remains.
Sorry, I guess it's everyone for themselves

What question ? I didn’t know I owe u any answers, huh is absolutely correct response cause I have no clue what ur talking about, snd still don’t.

Huh? isn't an answer. Some folks ask questions, seems the mod can't answer for some reason. I've asked for more info and got nothing. Huh? is a typical answer

Any info or information or update by anyone is welcome. Share any info you can find.
Options coming after we have two more approvals. Biggest hurttle was SEC which was approved

Huh?

How come you don't post? If you do, you avoid the question

dont know what it is, some folks today cant construct a complete coherent sentence, like a skydonkey disease. If u get investing advice from any of them, run in the opposite direction, u will gain.
as far as BTC and its ETFs, wait for it, many gonna grow slowly over time.

yep good to see all the duhduhduhdummies who bought into, or spread the fake rumors about how BTC will quadruple after miners get half for their efforts. all of them soooo dumb, but u knew that.🤪

Looks like a double bottom & getting ready for a move very soon

SEC approval for options

GREAT VIDEO

🤡😲🧷📞😅

Sure Buddy ETF's are secure 🤣 The economy and moving stuff around 🤡

I’ll look into it. I have recently moved stuff around on account of the shifting background I see in the economy and how crypto will be integrated into it. Another words ETFs are secure but gains may be elsewhere. I am now heavy on tokens and metals, and mining ETFs. There are other Moss who are heavy into crypto ETFs that can post stuff.

trunkmonk, do you have more info on this anywhere else other than the IBox?

Just following for now

33.93 a few minutes ago when i logged it. Nov to remember for some crypto and Gold, yes and thus ETFs that are related to them.

37.05 as i type. keeping watch from here to Nov 5, then from there into jan.

A black swan event in the stock market is a rare, unpredictable event that causes a significant market crash or disruption. These events are often market crashes that are more than six standard deviations, making them highly improbable $IBIT

Bump for ETFs

$41.99 is the high here. Doesn't matter when you buy, if you hold long, you will make profit.

ETFs popping up on crypto constantly, here are a list of the Top or bigger ones.

Correlation between IBIT and BITO is 1 so there shouldn't be much of a difference in volatility https://portfolioslab.com/tools/stock-comparison/IBIT/BITO
I'm not a day trader so I can't speak to trade by trade volatility between the two.
I guess anyone buying BTC directly or indirectly would be reducing the availability, last time I checked ETF's were holding about 4% of global supply

I would tend to think BITO is good for day and swing trading and comes with volatility. Technically not reducing the amount of BTC as it is not a spot ETF and has management fees. Direct investment in IBIT is reducing the available BTC while giving you an indirect/direct hand in BTC. I am assuming....

This would be the appropriate time to talk about contango and futures...
BITO= futures contracts
IBIT= BTC spot price

BITO has a dividend yield of 15.64% and paid $4.62 per share in the past year. The dividend is paid every month and the last ex-dividend date was Apr 1, 2024.

i dont know anything about BITO, since you loaded some, what are your thoughts and reasons behind it? All i know is IBIT is very stable and not impacted by derivatives, yet that i know of.

Can you explain the difference between BITO and IBIT for me trunk? Ive loaded some BITO and have a ton of GBTC I bought many years ago. What do you see as an IBIT advantage over BITO?
