Title: Bitcoin related stocks Post by: miketonic on January 30, 2014, 03:17:03 PM This information is probably somewhere in this forum already but I couldn't find it so I decided to ask:
Are there any publicly traded bitcoin related companies in US or somewhere else? How about those bitcoin stocks? Are they all scams or are there some good ones? I know pretty much nothing about them, but they sound interesting. Title: Re: Bitcoin related stocks Post by: miketonic on January 30, 2014, 09:55:25 PM So I did some research and couldn't find many publicly traded bitcoin related companies. However I did find something:

Have you looked in the "securities" board on this forum? Take a look at mpex.co and havelockinvestments.com Title: Re: Bitcoin related stocks Post by: miketonic on January 30, 2014, 11:20:20 PM This information is probably somewhere in this forum already but I couldn't find it so I decided to ask: Are there any publicly traded bitcoin related companies in US or somewhere else?

I feel like these companies could do very well by bridging bitcoin with public investing.
Thanks peter for referring the securities forum. Took a look at it for the first time but I feel like there is a lot of misinformation to sift through in order to get to the good stuff. Title: Re: Bitcoin related stocks Post by: qiwoman on February 01, 2014, 01:12:42 AM I am interested in investing more in Bitcoin with stocks and shares and I started with cryptostocks and have a bit in havelok investments too but want to grow more. I will look at these other links that you all posted as well as I am quite new to investing with Bitcoin. :)

I feel like these companies could do very well by bridging bitcoin with public investing. I agree that once publicly traded companies start using bitcoin it will gain a lot of coverage since there is a lot of analysts and investors monitoring these companies. Of course not mention the customers. However the customers might just ignore bitcoin since they can also use regular money. Analysts and investors on the other hand want to learn more and won't just ignore bitcoin. And some "traditional" investors might be interested in bitcoin but don't feel comfortable buying BTC directly so these kind of companies are a great way for such people.Thanks peter for referring the securities forum.

You definitely need to use extra caution when investing in cryptostocks. You need to do even more due diligence than in traditional stocks. There are a lot of bad deals there so it requires some work finding the good ones.

I just need to take a closer look at these companies. Some cryptostock would be a good way to add some dispersion! |
