What solution do you recommend for buying bitcoin with an IRA so it can be self-custodied?

2024-01-07 03:59:13

@npub1qny…95gx Do you have bitcoin in a self custodial IRA? I’ve heard of people using unchained, but haven’t used them myself. I know you have a good BS meter, so wondering what you’ve heard could be good for this scenario.

2024-01-01 18:39:57

@npub1s5y…6q7z, @npub1s05…eyhe, & @npub1k7v…c04l - What recommendations do you have for self custody bitcoin IRA solutions? I’ve heard of Unchained but wondering if there any other reputable providers.

2023-12-17 03:11:19

@npub1s5y…6q7z I thought you’d chuckle…

We just watched home alone as well. Classic! Both 1 and 2. They should have stopped with those.

What are the top companies for buying bitcoin with your IRA? I know of Unchained, but I’m not a fan of their fee structure - it seems rather high for just buying and holding.

That is quite significant! I wonder if it could be applied to power lines eventually. The amount of loss on those is quite substantial.

I don’t have an answer for #1, but for #2, my only thought is that it’s different in that MSTR stock can be viewed as “shares pegged to bitcoin” where “pegged” is used loosely whereas an altcoin created how I mentioned doesn’t have a formal backing, thus the holders are really out of luck.

2023-08-02 03:22:06

Looking for some understanding here.
I’ve seen the post circulating today where Microstrategy is aiming at selling up to $750M of Class A stock. New share issuance dilutes existing shareholders. However, I understand the bitcoin community seems to view this dilution as acceptable if all of the funds from the issuance go to purchasing more bitcoin (since they are counting on the long term asset appreciation to more than compensate for the dilution). Additionally, the hope is also that the stock price follows the asset appreciation of bitcoin, too.
I have a few questions though.
- What happens to the BTC if $MSTR goes bankrupt?
- How is this much different from an individual creating an altcoin, taking in fiat from the issuance of the coin, and turning around and using that fiat to buy BTC for themselves?
@npub1s5y…6q7z any thoughts?

2023-08-01 02:33:20

I’d love to hear y’all’s thoughts on this.
One of the challenges to Bitcoin is the argument that with many miners filing for bankruptcy, there will eventually be enough consolidation of compute power where a 51% attack could occur.
Even if a miner did control 51% of the hash rate, is the idea that they’d be a fool to put on the attack because it would devalue any BTC holdings they have? Even if they didn’t have any holdings, it would be too cost prohibitive to create enough compute power with the sole purpose of crashing the network?

I’ve used it for years, so I’m not super well-versed on others. What I love is that it’s extremely customizable, even down to a particular podcast. Much more functionality than Spotify, which I use for JRE.
