Investment Q&A

Q: Hello 5i,

We are nearing our max contribution to our TFSA's by transferring excess RRSP funds. We have never used a non-registered account. Can you suggest 5-10 stocks that should be in a non-reg account and why they are best in a non-reg over a TFSA Would you add GLXY or ETHQ to a non-reg due to volatility?

Thank you

Q: I am planning to invest $5k for the long term (10 years) in Ethereum/crypto-related stocks. This represents 1% of my portfolio.

Should I split my money equally between COIN, GLXY, ETHQ/ETHA and BMNR?

If not in what order should I buy these stocks? Are there any that you would not consider?

Q: What does Stablecoin to the price of Ethereum? I understand that Stablecoins are pegged to USD. If more transactions happen on the Ethereum network, why would the value of Ethereum increase? I can't see the connection.

If I wanted to dip my foot into Ethereum, should I buy ETFs like ETHA? Any other recommendations?

Q: Hello 5 I,

Just wondering the best avenue to invest it Bitcoin or Etherium directly. I dont want to do the whole wallet route and want to hold in my brokerage account. With that said is there a product that directly moves with the ETH and Bitcoin? Are either of them buys in your eyes? Thanks

Q: Best Crypto ETF in Canada?

I may have asked this before.

Thank you.

Q: Ethereum has dropped from a high of $4100 to below $2600, could you please explain why, also when Bitcoin has generally stayed in the $100k range? Is this a buying opportunity? If it is, is there a Canadian ETF to put money into? Thanks in advance. Also, many thanks for your answer on my previous question on BTC, it was extremely detailed and well thought out.

Q: I am curious what information you have on BITW and your opinion on the crypto market as a whole. It has a 2.5% mer but remarkable performance YTD. I presently hold IBIT and ETHQ and until recently was a doubter but can not argue with returns to date.

Q: With the runup in bitcoin to $100K, do you think there's more potential in etherium and if so, what would be the best ways to play it?

thnx in advance
Dave

Q: 1. What is the best Bitcoin and Ethereum Fund to Purchase to Invest in these 2 Crypto Currencies that are as closest to buying the actual currency on Netcoins , Coinbase, Etc

2. I have dealt with Netcoins and Coinbase in the past, but lately I am having issues dealing with them to purchase these currencies... They do not make it easy for me with their security features...
- Their websites and Apps dont give proper access to their services or how to access them to change settings... Especially Netcoins...
- Coinbase is troubling in the fact that you can only transfer funds back to Canadian or US dollars by using Paypal

3. Please provide answers & thoughts ...

4. I know this is not your main specialty, but I would appreciate your take on these questions and your overall opinion...

Thanks,
M

Q: Hi Guys Looking for your recommendations on a crypto ETF. Thank you

Q: I own BITB, ETHE and BITC. I would like to buy Solana. What is the best way to do so without buying the actual currency?

What is, in your opinion the best etf for crypto currencies in general?

Thank you.

Q: Hi, Canadian Bitcoin ETFs seem to lose traction against the new US ETFs.
You had many comments on Bitcoin (halving,etc ..) in the QA.
What about the fate of Etherum ETFs ? Different enough or same path ? Why ?
Merci, Denise

Q: Hi The focus on bitcoin these days I am surprised that I can’t find more questions or information about bitcoin and related cryptocurrencies on the 5i website.

I can’t help but wonder if I’m just not asking the right questions or looking in the right places.

If that’s the case, can you please direct me to the proper area so I can do some homework before making a commitment

On the other hand, if there isn’t anything currently available on your website, could you please tell me what your top three bitcoin purchases would be?

Addition, could I have your thoughts on Solana and Ethereum going forward

As always, thank you so much for your help. Much appreciated.

Q: Can you suggest some Canadian and US listed stocks and ETF's one might want consider to get a small exposure to BlockChain in a TFSA. Do any of these companies make any money? Do you think the ETF's are reasonable proxies for BitCoin but with less volatility?

Q: Hi. I’m thinking of investing 2 to 4% of my portfolio in crypto as a diversifier: half in Bitcoin and half in Ethereum. But for a number of reasons I don’t want to invest directly myself, I’m thinking ETFs might be a good option. Have you done some research on Canadian Bitcoin ETFs and Ethereum ETFs? Which ETF for each coin would you recommend? Do you know which ones purchase the crytos directly? Or do they use future contracts, which I understand when they are rolled over causes slippage in the price of the ETF versus the underlying Bitcoin. Also, in the consideration is which one has the best MER? And final consideration which one has the best tracking error. Could you tell the best ETF for both Bitcoin and Ethereum, and why. Or are there better options in the US? Or do you think it is just a bad strategy overall?

Q: Cryptocurrency: what is the best way to buy cryptocurremcies for a personal account. I bank with TD and they suggest going through the TD Platform then through BitBuy Canada since they trust the process and security of BitBuy Canada. I would like to pursue the purchase of Ethereum due to its price. Is it a digital currency that you would purchase or have purchased. Or due you suggest another.
Thanks for advice,

Clayton

Q: Hi Peter,
It seems that the percentage moves of these various Ether funds differs even though they all relate to the price of Ethereum. Why the differences ? Thank you.
