[ Institutional funds ] would never, ever, send money to unregulated exchanges. It's simply against their basic policies. Institutional money has no mechanism of acquiring significant amount of BTC, except for the FBI auctions which is not usual way how they do business. Even if they want to buy BTC they can't, putting aside question whether they want to do that or not. That's why I've said any "good-intended" announcement of big money entering BTC which ends up being false, leaves much more damage then idiot who announced it imagined.
Can't such a fund strike a private contract with a sufficiently reliable middleman, who would buy the bitcoins on the exchanges or other places, shouldering the risks, and then sell them to the fund? yeah like SecondMarket, in the future COIN and other ETF's and etc.

Look at the orderbook on huobi to see the truth. The volume is almost entirely fallacious.

I found it more interesting how people are willing to pay much more for btc/shares or anything else on one regulated market rather on those shady exchanges most of us are using... We all know those exchanges probably won't survive in next years, because regulated and trusted exchanges will surpass them. So question here is, who will go down first? My guess is Bitfinex. They probably already working on fractional reserves, not to mention they are under big manipulation.
It is just heavily short whales dumping the price lower to prevent buying in response to GBTC trading at a hefty premium to the exchange price. If a 5000 coin transaction goes through then things could get interesting really quick. Ah, come on. You don't really believe that now, do you? The only response to GBTC was to sell, since the dreamed about take off did not happen. Nobody needed to do anything to "Prevent buying" anywhere. That is just nonsense, and I have a feeling you know it too.

Anyway after the next three months it won't matter a jot. The log trendline is rapidly falling towards the current price.

Wacky question from someone who has been trading for 4 years now. If I am just buying and selling at exchanges and this is how I am making my full income do I need some sort of license? I was out drinking last night and a couple people told me I need a money transmitter license. For some reason I thought this was only for selling coin to people. Anyone know? Im in the United States BTW
Thanks
You don't need a license. Just be sure to inform about tax rules. I'm doing this too since 2013, and from 2015 on this is my only profession. Here in the Netherlands the tax climate is quite good for having an income from investing/saving (I pay close to no tax). Not sure about your state. The US is not a fun place for any of this kind of activity. My close friend topped nationals with Gravekeepers 6 or 7 years ago. Big ups to Spy

In a democratic country that could cost you an election. Could be interesting to see if The Communist Party will experience something similar.

Could it be that the rises of April 30 and/or May 3 were due to the expectation of BIT trading on OTCQX, and the current dump is due to the disappointing volume there? Or perhaps they were due to the 100 M$ Circle investment nws, and disappointment with that? Can't [ a big investment ] fund strike a private contract with a sufficiently reliable middleman, who would buy the bitcoins on the exchanges or other places, shouldering the risks, and then sell them to the fund?
yeah like SecondMarket, in the future COIN and other ETF's and etc. Shares of BIT and COIN and PBP etc. are IOUs for bitcoins that are held by the respective companies. The question is why can't institutional funds invest in actual bitcoins directly, but using a middleman to avoid the risk of sending money to foreign/unregulated exchanges. Why does [ the GBTC page ] say approximately 0.1 bitcoin, and not exactly 0.1 bitcoin per share?
Fees. Indeed, there is a one-time fee when redeeming or issuing the shares, plus something like an administration fee of 2% for each year that the bitcoins sit at Greyscale. So BIT does provide something that you don't get by buying raw bitcoins: perpetual inflation. So, now that Silbert and GBTC has fallen a little flat, who is the next Messiahtm in the pipeline?

Nothing to worry about. Just more coiling. Like a spring. Like a cobra, getting ready to strike. Like a pig, readying to take to the sky and SOAR! I'm guardedly optimistic. Good morning to you, lunatics gentlemen. Good morning NLC Are you really BMB?
