Okay, let's cover this real quick a company that That was around that's been around and then all of a sudden changes its name and becomes a blockchain or cryptocurrency company after the 2017 surge in popularity of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies. That's not the type of company. I'm talking about here, right? So I'm not talking about those companies like Riot or anything like that. So do not invest in those companies. Those companies are very sketchy to say the least But a smart way to play cryptocurrencies It's what stocks that could make lots of money if cryptocurrencies remain popular But will be just fine if they don't the first example One of my favorite stocks to invest in in the stock market that has exposure to crypto into Bitcoin is Square right so the ticker for square is sq And that's it's probably it's one of my favorite stocks to invest in that has exposure to To Bitcoin on square's cash app You can buy and sell Bitcoin making Bitcoin purchases as easy as swiping a few times on your mobile phone So it's very very easy Now square recently made a huge bet on Bitcoin CEO Jack Dorsey came out and announced a 50 million dollar Investment representing about 1% of the firm's total assets So that was huge that That is very very big and that's also part of the reason why Bitcoin's been going up in value as of recent Another company who recently made a big investment in Bitcoin was micro strategy Micro strategy invested about $400 million and it was reported that they've already made from that 400 million they've already made around a hundred million dollars return on that investment that they made right and And that's more than what they made in the past three years combined in sales, so They just made this investment in September. They've already made it got a return of around a hundred million or more So that's pretty crazy, right? So With Bitcoin so the reason these companies are good is because with Bitcoin's growing value There could be a big revenue stream available for these company Which will also increase their value and the value of their stocks, right? However, if Bitcoin were to drop for any reason Because these companies are already, you know Established and they're rapidly growing You know these companies will still continue to thrive. So regardless of how Bitcoin does They're they're still going to their established companies are gonna still they still have other avenues of revenue So those are two companies that that I recommend when investing in companies, you know that are invested in Bitcoin So those are two that I recommend to check out if you'd like Now Let's jump into ETS, right? so So then so All right, so let's jump into ETFs So the first ETF that we're gonna talk about is the Bitcoin investment trust, which is the ticker is GBTC So this is probably the closest thing to a Bitcoin ETF, right? That's in the market as of right now so the idea is that the trust takes investors money and Pulls it together to invest in Bitcoin, right? But here's the issue the shares trade at a massive premium compared to the amount of Value of Bitcoin that the trust actually has so that makes zero sense to me so my recommendation and in my opinion is To you're better off buying Bitcoin itself Then investing in a company and then investing in this particular ETF, this is an ETF that I've looked up and done research on in my opinion Go out and learn how to actually buy Bitcoin and figure that out Because you will be better off than investing in this company as a path to Get yourself Exposure to Bitcoin. So the next one we're gonna talk about here is blockchain ETFs So blockchain ETFs is similar to the idea of buying stocks of companies with cryptocurrency related investments But instead of just choosing one company you're investing in dozens of them So recently there have been a few blockchain ETFs or you know exchange-traded funds That have come to the market While they're relatively new these companies Invest in you know, basically what their ETF is Is made up of is of companies such as overstock.com Intel Cisco and Nvidia Square Just to name a few basically So these can this can definitely be a way to invest in cryptocurrency While simultaneously buying well-established businesses So that is another way of investing in Bitcoin and getting exposure to Bitcoin through blockchain ETFs now What you need to do though, but this is I I didn't look this one up What you need to do before putting your money into something like this. I've never done this You have to check what their fee structure is So you want to make sure that the fee structure to invest in these ETFs make sense Unlike the GBTC which charges anywhere between 20% to 100% premiums, you know for to have their ETFs So so make sure to do your own research on that All right, so the last but certainly not least is future contracts So this is pretty as this one's actually pretty close to buying actual cryptocurrencies But with obviously some notable differences Bitcoin futures are listed on the CME Group and on CBOE global markets And they're available through several other major online brokerages to retail investors So basically a future contracts the way it works It allows you to bet on the future price of a commodity or an asset by putting up Some money now known as the margin requirement, right? So for Bitcoin future the margin requirement vary depending on the exchange in your broker But they're generally around 40% range, right? So for a simplified example Let's say that Bitcoin was trading around $10,000 And you wanted to bet that the price was gonna go up between now and January, right? So you could buy future contracts by putting up $4,000 based on the 40% margin requirements And then you will own the Profits if Bitcoin rises and obviously if Bitcoin doesn't rise then you lose money Now if you want to bet against Bitcoin, you could also do that the same way You have to put up the same amount of money at 40% and then if the price falls then you profit Now to be clear, I do not recommend futures trading to novice investors or to Generally anyone who doesn't really understand and know how future contracts work So, you know, let that be clear futures market is very tricky I don't recommend it to anyone that doesn't understand it and doesn't understand trading people All right, so you definitely need a lot of expertise and experience in the futures trading market in order to trade Future contracts. All right, so the bottom line is There's definitely several ways to invest in Bitcoin and get exposure to your portfolio You know to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies without actually buying them now some are a good idea Some should probably be avoided, right? I believe that the best way to get exposure in Bitcoin without actually buying Bitcoin is With well established growing companies that have other business functions as well, but in the end The best way to actually be exposed to all the lovely lovely profits that Bitcoin Rains and Gives drops Upon us is to actually buy Bitcoin
