Off Topic Does anybody understand bitcoin?

[Edelman]

Eth has and done well for me and I think it will continue to go north

Got some disappointing ones like Zilliqa and Graph but who knows

 

[TheCasual]

Ethereum is only $100 off its all time high.

Does anyone know of a UK based broker that I can access US ETFs?

It's the Roundhill Ball META fund.

It not currently available on things like etoro or my sipp provider.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks I'll check again, but not sure. Roundhill suggest Vanquis, Ameritrade and the like which are US based.
There are some over here but fees and charges are high and its something I want to buy and forget about for a few years rather than having to keep topping up to cover costs.

I'll keep looking.

May be worth checking with your bank? Some do investment accounts etc. Never looked into it to much via them though so not sure on what it covers

I think I could do it through IG non leveraged.
Just looking over their T&Cs and costs.

I had a BlackRock unit trust, started it when it was still Merrill Lynch, it did well, cashed it in a few years ago.

The META etf is a specific investment I want to make to gain a mixed exposure to the metaverse rather than buying into single companies, as most already have high share prices.
So the fund route suits me better with a basket of companies and reduced exposure as it's a bit risky short term.
IG seems OK in theory, but they inform me it's a complex instrument and I need to speak to them.
For me it's a buy, hold and add without leverage and seems pretty non complex.
We'll see I guess.

Is it geared towards gaming. and social media ?

In part, along with AR, VR and the things that make it all connected like crypto, chips, headsets, consoles etc.

Basically live your life in a virtual world.

Pure sci-fi and the sort of stuff that leaves me cold and sad for the future, but it's coming.

If not possible you could always check out the equities in the fund and allocate your investment at the same percentage in individual stocks .
Then set up your own fund on 212

Had the same thought earlier myself actually.
I'll see what IG come back with and perhaps do it through etoro as I'm using money scalped from crypto gains rather than introducing new money.

The trouble with dealing on commission free platforms us the temptation to sell and buy .
Made some mistakes big time being impatient

It's a no lose situation there then .

I'm pretty disciplined tbf, buy in dips and rarely overtrade. I'm just closing out a few older, higher open price positions now they've turned positive and leaving the rest to run.

That would be the plan.

Is it not more beneficial to stake crypto for a high yield ?
