If you want the bitcoin INFRASTRUCTURE too (which makes it all possible) you could pair it will ticker WGMI which has the best crypto mining companies and infrastructure plays like Coinbase (though which almost all the wall street bitcoin ETF's clear and custody)

Yes. He can.

If he refuses, he either works for Vanguard or has a compliance dept that is playing catchup with reality and tying his hands for now. Start a free Robinhood account in 5 mins... or a fidelity account with as little as $50 and they'll currently give you $100 bonus if you're US based.

Don't wait. Global spotlight turns to crypto this Thursday when Trump kicks off the Nashville Bitcoin conference, now as headline speaker. That alone is YUGE as it indicates a much more favorable regulatory environment for the first new asset class since oil was discovered in 1855.

If he (as rumored) floats his intention to add trillions of bitcoin to the US Treasury Reserves, the fireworks will begin and anyone without exposure should probably buy a stiff drink instead as the regret will only build.. :(

Tucker! When Bobby Kennedy endorsed Donald Trump last week, he burned his boats. There’s no turning back for him, or for American politics. Here’s his first interview since that happened.

One of the last few presidents to speak to us without contempt like we're adults in a partnership, not subjects to rule over (and, the reason to stack bitcoin/digital gold monthly)

Scorecard for Changa's top three calls (because you asked for it)

1) GDLC: Only three among 2,462 quant-rated ETFs have a higher 1Y price performance than GDLC, which is up a whopping 322% in the past 12 months, driving an ‘A+’ in Momentum.

2) GBTC: GBTC is the third hottest ETF in price performance over the past year, up more than 340%, solely and passively invested in Bitcoin with an A+ in Momentum. GBTC has returned more than 490% to shareholders in the past five years vs. an ETF median of 38%, and significantly outperformed in returns over the last 6M and 30 days. GBTC’s A+ in Liquidity is driven by an AUM of $19.76B and a daily dollar volume of $620.65M.

3) BITW: BITW, up over 280% in the past 12 months, has 10 holdings with Bitcoin (68.8%) and Ethereum (22.6%) accounting for over 90% of the fund’s value. The other holdings include Solana, XRP, Cardano, Avalanche, Chainlink, Polkadot, Bitcoin Cash, and NEAR Protocol.

Here's to more lifechanging gains in the weeks and months ahead!! Nothing here is financial or investing advice, but if previous cycles are any guide, this particular leg up should last until mid to late next year, 2025. ENJOY and DON'T MISS OUT!

Cathie heads one of the best emerging tech teams on Wall Street.

She sees bitcoin 20x higher by 2032

Might want to have a little FBTC or BITB or BITW in your stock portfolio
