I heard that they may be sending out those "e-mails" by the USPS so that they'll have tracking numbers. It may be a few weeks before the shareholders get their statements.

Do USPS only use bicycles ?  This whole thing is starting to look like amateur hour. Wondering if we are being told the whole story here.

That's a joke, right?

That's a joke, right? No, this is a process. It will take time to transfer those shares.

bids for $1000/btc go through on localbitcoins.com sometimes too ... Bids don't mean actually executed orders and $35.75 means $350 per Bitcoin, a far stretch from $1,000. And I bet the $1000/BTC bids on local Bitcoins are people trying to get lucky from uneducated buyers and rarely and few such orders would ever happen. Finally, nobody watches localbitcoins while BIT is being watched by everyone, including the media and if we start getting orders being executed at way above market value and with any regularity then I would expect a lot of press and I would expect arbitrage players to quickly close the gap by driving the price of Bitcoin up.

I find the list of participants more interesting than the prices and number of shares, both of which will instantly change when someone decides they would like to sell their "bagholding" BIT shares.

Is there a way to find out how many tradeable shares in GBTC have been created through the 'conversion process'? If I understand correctly, SMBIT stakeholders have to 'convert' their 'stake' to GBTC shares in order to be able to sell them. As such, one would expect there to be a way to track this as it is effectively the max liquidity pool in the 'EFT' at any given time. If nobody is converting, nothing can happen. Who would invest without knowing approx how many tradeable shares there are, not just how many are eligible for conversion?Personally I am expecting a low liquidity 'fail', and probably a more volatile price than BTC itself, but lets wait and see  EDIT: Just been looking back over the thread and it seems my interpretation was incorrect. No 'conversion' needs to take place and 'eligible sellers' will be sent share certificates with instructions on how to sell it they so desire. So why the hell is it taking so long ??

Maybe sellers already got certificates but they are not willing to sell? After all this are long term investors... Many probably won't even look at those certificates for next 5 years.

I think this is quite likely to be the outcome, hence why I think it will be a low liquidity fail

I indeed think BIT hodlers won't be interested in selling unless a high price is offered to them, since most of them are underwater.
The main question is why on hell someone on his sane mind would prefer to pay a high premium for the BIT shares, that are worse than bitcon itself, you have to pay maintenance fees and you can only sell in their own platform. If liquidity there dies you are trapped big time.
Everybody is expeting greater fools paying high premium for this shares, but I highly doubt it will happen (more than the initial rush). So I bet this market won't have volume at all, unless first we see a big decline or a big rally and that shares starts to move.
