Bitcoin - trading och analys

⚠️ Disclosure ⚠️

I have transferred my bitcoin to ETFs.

Yes I know, not your keys not your coins. But it is just easier for me to manage bitcoin the same way as equities and bonds. Also, not having to hassle with keys gives me peace of mind. I guess I am not a maxi anymore.

ransferring your bitcoin to an ETF might simplify things in the short term, but it comes at a cost. You’re trading sovereignty for convenience, handing over the very thing that makes Bitcoin revolutionary: self-custody. ETFs are a bridge back to the traditional financial system, a system Bitcoin was designed to transcend.

Peace of mind is important, but it’s worth asking: what kind of peace are you really gaining? The peace of not worrying about keys, or the peace of not truly owning your money? Bitcoin isn’t just an asset; it’s a paradigm shift. By moving to an ETF, you’re stepping back into the very system Bitcoin seeks to replace.

You don’t have to be a maxi to see the value in holding your own keys. It’s not about dogma; it’s about understanding what Bitcoin truly represents. The hassle of keys is a small price to pay for the freedom they unlock.

Isn’t this consolidation of $BTC into few hands kind of the antithesis of the principal of $BTC? To get money in and out of an ETF one needs to go through a centralized exchange.
