@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 (+0.17%) 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 (+0.09%) and have accounts with Bison, Binance and Kraken. I don't want to open an additional account.

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).

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.

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. 😊

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.

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.

If you decide otherwise, then use an MSCI next time. I buy BTC at coinbase with the free one subscription (always subscribe and cancel immediately) or Strike.
