GBTC has started trading with no affect on market price...yet. Only been 2 days. Next significant date seems to be may 18th when NASDAQ Stockholm begins trading xbt provider which says they will back all shares bought with bitcoin. Seems like this could have a much more immediate affect on price. Volume will also be waaaay higher to start.

Are you sure? Is there a source for this? |

Buyers wont need to wait for asks. Shares will be available for market price. Right now on gbtc demand is higher then supply.

It's been put together by KNCminer. That being the case there probably won't be much open market shenanigans. Pretty sweet deal for them. |

Are you sure? Is there a source for this? It'll be traded on NASDAQ Stockholm and there is no 12 month maturity date, so it will trade a lot closer to how an ETF would. I too suspect the volume should be greater than GBTC's. This is speculation, no source. |

Can't even create a pump with low capital risk anymore. What has happened to Bitcoin?... |

GBTC has been trading for 2 days. Shares have went for a premium over market price. Demand outweighs supply. All asks are being bought. Most shareholders don't want to sell. Flop?

I was just about to post nearly the same thing regarding the "flop" comment. I can't see how you call GBTC a flop. There are buyers, just not very many sellers. GBTC isn't an ETF. If you are expecting high volume and frequent back and forth trades with GBTC you will be disappointed. |

If only a small % of money laying around flows into XBT Provider... KNCminer could run out of coins in a very short time. I believe KNCminer will provide only small portion of coins. It is probably not in their interest to sell at those prices. |

GBTC can't influence the market, anyways. The volume is much too low in order to do that. First of all, it's more of a long-term asset, anyways, and secondly there aren't many people who are actually eligible to sell their shares. GBTC was created by using a "loophole", anyways. A real ETF that is buying coins on the open market will make things pretty interesting, I presume! |
I should have gotten into Bitcoin back in 1992...

A real ETF that is buying coins on the open market will make things pretty interesting, I presume! I think this opening phase of a few weeks or a few months is the predictable time to test the waters and let larger orders keep outbidding themselves and when the volume does pick up, by a few larger shareholders willing to sell some or all of what they hold, then they could take the shares they sold at 2,3,4,5x current bitcoin market price and start buying coins on the open market and drive the price up. So, I haven't seen the data about what the average shareholder holds in BIT but I'm sure that there's plenty of holders w/ the equivalent of 4 and 5 digits of bitcoins. If they're able to get 2,3,4,5x for their shares or more then they can do that much more damage while scooping up coins on the open market, perhaps. |

So this goes live Monday. I don't know what time NASDAQ Stockholm begins trading. Would be early AM hours in the US. Could wake up Monday to a price jump?

Pretty sure that Scandinavia is an hour ahead of this forum so 5 hrs ahead of US est, circa 4am monday. Things may get interesting in advance if this thing is really worth its salt. |
