He’s very pro crypto. Dude is smart as fuck and would tear Yellen a new asshole in a senate hearing, IF, he gets confirmed as SEC chairman AND she is confirmed as Treasury Secretary. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By VooDoo3dfx: Grayscale supposedly investing heavily into Tezos? Should help the price. Good. It needs to do something. While it's gone up in price this past month, the fact it's failed to even meet the previous mark of $4.49 back in August 2020 is disappointing. Shoot, just hitting $4 would do wonders for it. I'm not complaining, though. I bought 1000 XTZ on March 12, 2020 at $0.98/ea. And I've earned an additional 45 through staking. |

Thanks Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Default-Gateway: Originally Posted By felrom: GBTC down to near zero premium to NAV. What does that mean in English please? Thanks Grayscale then issue shares of the Grayscale Bitcoin Trust, GBTC, and sells them on the market. Each share of GBTC represents 0.000959 bitcoins. So we can compare the current cost of a share of GBTC to the current cost of 0.000959 bitcoins. If the cost of the GBTC is higher than the cost of those bitcoins, then we would say that GBTC is trading at a premium to its net asset value (NAV). In other words, you would be paying a little bit more to buy a share of GBTC than you would pay to buy an equivalent amount of bitcoins. If the cost of the GBTC was less than the cost of the equivalent amount of Bitcoin then we would say that GBTC is trading at a discount to NAV. The reason this situation exists is that the market is not 100% efficient, and the market has trouble being instantaneously efficient. There is still no way I know of to directly own Bitcoin in a retirement account. So if you want exposure to Bitcoin in your 401k, you have to buy GBTC, even if it's trading at a premium to NAV. That means that sometimes the demand for GBTC is higher than the demand for bitcoins, even though they represent the same asset. That's why the price can diverge between the two, and you end up with either a premium or a discount to NAV. Additionally, even today a lot of people don't understand how to buy Bitcoin through something like Coinbase. So instead they purchase through GBTC in a brokerage account. |

I'm just amazed that the revelation a few days ago that the Yale and Harvard endowments have been buying Bitcoin for over a year was apparently a snoozer to everyone on the internet. That sounds like some of the biggest bullish news in a looooong time, because it means the regulatory hammer will at worst be a soft symbolic tap.
