@Simpson asked me, presumably as a joke, to sell my ETF and switch into Bitcoin. That cost me a sleepless night. But after I'd actually been toying with the idea for a while (also thanks to @stefan_21 ), I did it 😳. At least the first step. I sold my entire $VWRL (-0.45%) sold my entire position. As soon as the money is in the account, it will go to a crypto exchange and be put into Bitcoin.


As I haven't bought any Bitcoin for a while: Which exchange do you recommend? I will buy approx. 1 $BTC (+1.19%) and have accounts with Bison, Binance and Kraken. I don't want to open an additional account.

@GoDividend They screwed it up themselves. But the other ETFs will follow

Thanks for your contribution and don't forget. Once the Bitcoin is red for a longer period, it is only bearish divergence.

@Iwanowitsch exciting, what could be the reason why someone unfollows me?

The scary thing is that you never really know whether this is true or not.
If it is: brave move. I wish you completely selfishly that bitcoin first goes down to 1%, say for 6 months, and then reaches unimagined heights. If not: lol

@DonkeyInvestor ok then I'll probably sell my ETF and buy Bitcoin too. It'll be better for my real estate financing next year anyway. (Ok, that last sentence was nonsense... I'm a serious smurf).

@DonkeyInvestor oh I just realized, the first sentence was nonsense. I'm not selling my etfs because some jackass *hihi* is doing it

@DonkeyInvestor What can I do. That's just me... You also have to look at the person around the eggs

Congratulations on the decision😘
Not many people can buy a whole Bitcoin just like that anymore😂

I wouldn't use Bison because of their spread :) I think Binance would be a little cheaper than Kraken in terms of fees, so I would tend towards it.

@Fabzy 1. the Bitcoin from Mt.Gox was added on top of your remaining BTC and you were already at a point where you expanded the AllWorld to have a reasonable base. Adding another Bitcoin for 100k is not your strategy.
2. you don't throw away what you've built up 3 years ago because of one sleepless night
3. you mess up your BTC performance and have to correct your previous posts, then it's no longer 27000%, but only 12000%. Your ego won't stand for that.

Eieiei. Are you trying to avoid the free beer from @Charmin and me?
But respect my friend. I always thought my balls were hard, but yours must be even harder.

@Hotte1909 that's more the way I have to buy you free beer. Don't have to buy free beer. must buy free beer. Don't have to buy free beer ...

@DonkeyInvestor Did I hear free beer here?

As I can see from Stefan's public portfolio, he is also moving away from the "Bitcoin only" strategy.

@DonkeyInvestor probably so, but that's how risk diversification works. Hats off to your courage!

Kraken has OTC trading with hardly any fees and a very fair spread for institutional trading.

Actually from 500k, but you can certainly make an inquiry. 😊

Oh man, Testoinvestor will be happy about that. At first I thought I'd give you a few coins, but you've got more than enough. Keep your fingers crossed. What are you going to do with the rest that's left over after you've given the tax office a pre-Christmas present?

I buy from Kraken, I can only recommend it. If you deposit more than €10,000, it will be blocked until the proof of intermediary origin is fulfilled, so take that into account.

Kraken Pro - Significantly lower costs than Bison.

Good Morning. I have a few questions 😌 (if the trade is meant seriously)
1. was the $VWRL your core in the portfolio?

2. $BTC has the highest weighting for you now and then an even higher one. What gives you the confidence that you feel comfortable with such a high BTC weighting and even liquidate the VWRL for it?

3. do you see less risk in BTC than in the ETF?

What about taxation? I am actually a big advocate of non-BaFin-regulated exchanges such as Binance, but in your case the risk of the money being frozen would be too high. I would therefore choose a German exchange, taking the fees into account. And definitely not coinbase, where a lot of accounts have recently been blocked and the money on them frozen.

Balls of Steel, I would only do something like that if my portfolio is in millions.
$VWRL is something that I would never touch. It would be best if you also considered the tax implications. But now it's done. BTW long term I think BTC will shit on all the World ETFs.

I also switched just under 6 figures into Bitcoin at the peak in March and am up almost 45k today. However, if I were you, I would invest the money in tranches. It wasn't easy to only see red for half a year, with -30k in some cases.

Good grief!

I wish you every success and nerves of steel along the way. For me, 61 percent of my PF in BTC would not be an option.
