$GBTC Speculation, Information, and Cogitation

[cryptoboy.architect]

If people got into BIT when BTC was $600, and are in it for the long run, they have no reason whatsoever to sell. I believe part of the reason for the premium is that there just isn't enough supply. In fact if I was a heavy buyer at $600, it would make more sense to double down at these prices than to sell anything. I mean look at downside v.s. upside potential. OK downside there is some chance it would go bust, like down to $0. But it is my personal belief that it is way lower than 50% v.s. going double from here within 5 years.

Premium is there because of tax free environment.

I wonder which asset is affected by Greece more? GBTC or BTC.

Note the weird entries with "4747" shares.  The total comes out as 29562 shares, which is 6861 = 4747 + 1774 + 340 shares more than the total volume listed on the OTCQX page.

Also note that trade was rather strong but stopped just before 15:00.  Isn't the closing time 16:00?

GBTC had a daily volume of 27,256. That's 7-8x more than average and I think a new all time high.
