Q: I am becoming interested in bitcoin. I have not invested because I don’t really understand it. But I see a number of trust-worthy people getting very interested. It seems to be seen as an alternative and often a better alternative than holding gold. In your view what is the risk level of holding bitcoin at this point in its evolution? And can you suggest any educational material on the subject? Finally, what would you suggest for buying if someone is interested?
Thanks for the great service as always

Q: Hi Peter & 5i team,
Many investors consider cryptocurrency highly speculative or even risky. Recently portfolio managers are adding crypto to their holdings. What would be a good way for the retail investor to add a small percentage ( if any) to their portfolio?
Thank you for your opinions.

Q: I was looking into crypto and was considering 65% ETHX.B and 35% BTCQ over buying ETC which is 70/30 Bitcoin/ Eth.
Wondering your thoughts as this would be a five year hold and a 5% position. I would also look at an Alt Coin ETF are you aware of any in Canada or USA?

Q: Hello 5i Team
I am researching Bitcoin ETFs and it appears there are four ETF trading in the Canadian market (CI Galaxy Bitcoin ETF; Evolve Bitcoin ETF, Ninepoint Bitcoin ETF; and Purpose Bitcoin ETF).
Questions I have are:
1 – Are there any other Bitcoin ETF available in Canada?
2 – Do Bitcoin ETF trade in the US market or are Bitcoin ETF in the USA waiting for SEC approval?
3 – All four Canadian listed ETF trade in both Canadian and US dollar versions on the TSX – which is the better version to purchase and why?
4 – What are the Assets under management for each ETF (as of end of day June 04)?
5 – What would be your ranking of ETF to purchase?
Thank you

Q: Should I convert my closed end fund QBTC to the etf - BTCQ under the conversion privilege ending May 31?
I see it will be on a NAV to NAV basis but is there any advantage if this is periodically offered? Daily vol on QBTC is higher so is this the better trade?
And what is the current NAV for each?
