Who This Guide Is For
Welcome!
This guide is specifically geared towards Bitcoin investors (individual or institutional) who namely:
• Do not plan on selling any of their BTC in the next year.
• Are open to buying additional BTC “at a discount.”
• Desire to hedge (i.e. offset) their losses when BTC declines.
BTC appears to have pulled back from breaching its $20,000 high from nearly 3 years ago. If the down trend continues to $10k, how can investors take advantage?
For a portfolio consisting of 100 BTC, a price drop from $17k to $10k, assuming one does nothing, equates to a loss of $700,000 (100 BTC * $17k — 100 BTC * $10k).
If say BTC rises to $25,000, breaking the $20k barrier, how can we also effectively hedge our gains against any subsequent price de1cline in this similar scenario?
