How to Trade GBTC Shares on the Open Market

The share price of GBTC can trade on the open market above and below what the underlying Bitcoin of the trust is worth. And they would do it through locking up for six months, right? Yeah. So just to review, if you're an accredited investor, you give US dollars or Bitcoin to do grayscale, it locks up for 6 months. And after six months, you can sell those GBTC shares. so there's a lag almost because you can create the shares of GBTC then six months later, those shares hit the open market.

Health insurance needs an overhaul. The government and insurance companies have jacked the price, increased complexity, and made insurance almost unusable. You send your money to the health insurance black hole and never see it again. Then, when you get hurt you have to send them more money. The great news is now you have an alternative: CrowdHealth. It’s totally different from insurance. Instead of sending your hard earned money to an insurance company, you hold your money in an account CrowdHealth helps you set up when you join. You can even convert dollars in that account into Bitcoin. When someone in the community has a health need, you help them out directly and if there is Bitcoin or $ left over in your account when you leave, you take it with you. https://www.joincrowdhealth.com/natalie
