#[3] had mentioned in a previous cafe ☕️ #bitcoin that he saw 🦢 moving eventually to be a content creation company over an exchange.

The prime trust issue accelerates that in my view.

ha! i wish them luck

Why is it built on sand? Educate us.

they do not control their own custody or their own liquidity provider and the buying of btc is a downward fee pressure business trending toward zero (strike already there)

they have zero competitive moat and we have seen one example of them pulling out of a state due to their "partner" prime trust losing a license

their motives seem pure but their business is very shakey

all this being said if you use them please keep using them but be prepared with a backup btc acquisition plan

Strike is charging 0.8 to 1% on spread, not on direct fees.

Appreciate the knowledge. I agree I need to have a backup. If you don’t mind me asking, where do you buy BTC?

i don't. only mining. but if i needed to i would use river or strike if in the US

I'm not a fan of Klipsten.

Something that I can't put my finger on is off about him.

That said, I'm in the process of doing their #Bitcoin IRA via transfer from my traditional IRA.

very dumb move. you want all your btc registered in an investment product in the situation of a 6102 event. what you gain in tax benefits you lose in a tail risk confiscation event

😂

Tax advantaged Bitcoin purchase with available retirement funds.

Guess I'm dumb.

I mean very dumb

"case I found was brought against an individual who tried to withdraw from his bank 5,000 ounces of gold, worth $6.5 million at today's price. In the depths of the Great Depression, this was an enormous sum, even at 1933 prices. Since the withdrawal request had to be processed by his bank, and the bank was required by law to report such transactions, he was greeted at the bank by federal agents. Clearly, he hadn't thought it all the way through."

I'm familiar

🤔

the ira product is a sitting duck

Yep. I drained my IRAs into self custody BTC. Fuck the Banks. With a chainsaw
