I have been on the sidelines, waiting patiently, trying out my options, but I think it is time.
My banks' funds aren't even keeping up with the markets & they dare to charge a 2% subscription fee + 1.25% management fee + 0.01% custodian fee + 0.03% admin fee... for what?
Fixed deposits are returning around 4% - not bad... if inflation didn't exist.
In my company, we are paying 8% on our bonds/mortgages/credit facility and as a private person, I am not able to get anything near that in returns.
MSTR has proven itself (if you can stomach the volatility), STRC STRK STRF have shown to the world that you definitely can & should get at least 8-11% returns on your money.
Banks, funds, sovereign funds will all be joining the bandwagon at the next bull-run and, at current prices, there's only $10 billion of BTC/year available for all these funds, banks, institutions & retail to buy naturally (from mining)... (sure, there is more in circulation but good luck finding a buyer during a bull-run).
Short term investment funds going into STRC, for the rest, will DCA into MSTR.
Why not BTC directly? Because my next of kin is severely technologically challenged & it's hell of a lot easier for them to just inherit my stock portfolio than crypto wallets.
