Title: The BTC Hedge
Post by: coreli on November 18, 2013, 12:16:21 AM
I have seen the odd thread about people speculating where the best place is to hedge their money against BTC. Aside from the obvious, a wide mixture is generally always the best option. However there are of course a number of concerns, how quickly can I access and use my money, is it easy to sell into or out of my desired hedge. Some poll numbers would be nice to see peoples preferences.

Thanks,

Nice poll. I believe NMC would be a good candidate for hedging.

2% Bank balance
34% Funds (Various stock type things)
5% Loan shark!
17% BTC

No, that probably doesn't add up to 100%, there are rounding errors.
