Are websites like Insight Portfolio credible? I ran a simulation on their website, and the anticipated return looks good over time despite being a little risky.

literal chatGPT (horrifying suggestions) --------------------------------------------------- If you're seeking an alternative to the BOXX ETF, you might want to consider looking into other exchange-traded funds (ETFs) that focus on similar areas or themes. BOXX ETF, as of my last update, primarily focuses on companies involved in the blockchain technology space. Here are a few alternatives you could explore: BLOK - Amplify Transformational Data Sharing ETF: BLOK is an ETF that invests in companies involved in blockchain technologies and digital assets. BLCN - Siren Nasdaq NexGen Economy ETF: This ETF seeks to track the performance of the Siren Blockchain Economy Index, which includes companies involved in blockchain technology, including cryptocurrencies, exchanges, miners, and more. LEGR - First Trust Indxx Innovative Transaction & Process ETF: LEGR tracks an index of companies that generate revenue or are expected to generate revenue from innovative applications of blockchain technology. It focuses not only on pure-play blockchain companies but also on those integrating blockchain into their operations. ARKW - ARK Next Generation Internet ETF: While not solely focused on blockchain, ARKW invests in companies leading disruptive innovation in sectors like cloud computing, big data, and blockchain technology. KOIN - Capital Link NextGen Protocol ETF: KOIN is an ETF that aims to track the performance of the Innovation Labs Blockchain Innovators Index, providing exposure to companies that are at the forefront of blockchain technology. Before investing in any ETF, make sure to thoroughly research its holdings, investment strategy, expenses, and performance to ensure it aligns with your investment goals and risk tolerance.
I see it listed at $880.55 right now…..is this worth investing in at this point if you don’t really have that much to invest? Unbelievable how much this has gone up in a week. I just put a little $ into the etf BLOK & to Graystone ETH And is there another “Super Micro Computer” like stock that should start to take off soon? Appreciate any & all feedback. Thanks & congrats to all of you who’ve benefited from these massive gains!
Why is there so much hype about this ETF? There are already several BTC related ETFs? SATO, BLOK and many others.
BLOK new highs despite corn weakness
$BLOK still trying off 30, $DXY still weak, $SLV just cracked 22.5
$BLOK bulls trying to get more off that 30 handle
Not really. I had a bag of BLOK ETF but took some profit on that this week too. Still have a bit to grow for the longterm. Luckily I held on to my coinbase stock and bought the dips because it's rising fast again. Other than that I have a ton of altcoins.
COIN, MSTR, MARA, NVDA, AMD, BLOK are all tickers that are related to Bitcoin in some way so it does have a place in the stock market and hence this sub.
RIOT, MARA oscillating around 10, BLOK broke 22.5 again..
VHT is kind of depressed lately. I will cash out some. ORMP is not going anywhere cash out. Gas etc w $86 dollars sell it. BLOK. sell it. Hold on to VTI all of it. Voo keep most
Makes me curious too. Probably just the news and buyer's expectations for growth. $BLOK holds most of the more active coin mining companies. Their(BLOK) numbers are following the same downtrends. So the overall float seems to be in favor of RIOT and MARA. I wonder if we have an outlier or if the market will swing back. CLSK does appear to be on the move, but I'm not convinced that it'll jump too far without the market correcting it rapidly as Bitcoin keeps losing value. When bitcoin bumps up though... we'll see.
$BLOK is the largest gainer while btc and eth futes are red

This week's biggest gainers are mostly Crypto + Metals: $BTC +34% $BLOK +13.5% $GDX +12.4% Silver - +9.8%
I went from $6k to near $30k in 2020 and then puts on BLOK (a fucking crypto etf) lost most of it around May/June of 2021 when crypto crashed and then came back in force for a second rally. Who would’ve thought betting against crypto at the top would burn me… Stayed out for a minute and caught 2021 end of year nvidia rally with calls and made it all back in a flash. 2022 just been bleeding the whole fucking time between options fails, long positions dying, and boomer 401k bleeding. I’m only down $1600 over the 3 year though so meh. I’m going to rest in the bench for a few months and hope this weeks rallying sticks for a while. I suck at being bearish.
Yep! Can confirm. I recently opened a self-directed Roth IRA on Merrill to have a cleaner looking portfolio than my e*trade train wreck experiment account lol....I was surprised the other day when I tried to buy BLOK. It said, "Nope, that's crypto and we don't do that" basically... so, it is clean with SCHD, VTI, and a few strong blue chips.
COIN and BLOK have diverged from the price of Bitcoin since the Bitcoin low from November
I've gotten into BLOK a bit. Idk if it is a good ETF idea, but that dividend looks sweet. Time will tell I guess.
I'm buying BLOK. I don't know what it is. It makes no sense. But I like the letters
I have no idea about specific companies, but in terms of emerging industries: Green Energy & Blockchain. The consumer electronics industry is saturated. FANG had their 10 Years of Innovators to Laggards. These companies will be tangentially related to next growth industries, but their outsized growth is done. You need to be looking at the next innovators and emerging industries. Green Energy (QCLN) and Blockchain (BLOK) is where I'm putting my money - mostly into ETFs. I also have ON, WOLF, INTC, MP, MU.
I wouldn't buy most of these now, having come to understand their risks better. It was mostly FOMO. I bought STNE, NU, MKL and BABA because Berkshire or Munger bought them, and 0070.HK because Pabrai loves it. And ETH/BLOK? Well, Web 3.0... Now I know that are great companies out there with far less risk. Also, I screwed myself by not understanding the importance of valuations and buying really high. Thanks for the advice. I think it would be wisest for me to accumulate SPY/VTI and just not buy any more individual stocks until I get a better understanding of my actual circle of competence, lol. The only positive is that I have a long time horizon to see this play out.
BABA 26.50% (down -33.82%) BRK.B 20.58% (down -21.32%) 0700.HK 12.26% (down -12.71%) MKL 9.65% (down -3.59%) STNE 16.14% (down -54.88%) NU 9.30% (down -41.21%) ETH 3.71% (down -71.97%) BLOK 1.85% (down -69.53%) Total P/L -32% Early 30s, started investing in late 2021 and initially took advice from sites like Motley Fool. Its a mess, but, I'm slowly learning what not to do. Should I: 1. Continue to DCA? 2. Hedge with more blue chips? Or 3. Just start adding SPY from this point, and stop trying to pick stocks?
Yea, I’m thinking the same. That’s why I’m trying to load up on; TQQQ, BLOK, and METV too.
Me right now fuckin around with Disney Square BLOK and a few others.
They are very different funds. IBIT doesn't really short crypto. At least not that I can see from their current holdings. As of note and based on their current holdings, the IBIT ETF appears to only have a short position in BLOK. This makes IBIT a somewhat useless ETF since any investor/trader can simply take a negative bias position against BLOK. BLOK's top 3 holdings are $MSTR, $PYPL and $SQ. So it's not purely a crypto fund but more about companies that have exposure to crypto in some broad way. BITO is a way for an investor to have access to Bitcoin futures contracts.
CLOU, BLOK, QTUM are a few good ones in the tech / blockchain space. Also for single stocks, if you are looking to hold for at least a year I think the stronger large cap tech stocks are good but mixing in small cap pharma stocks that have really high "boom/bust" potential could be good if you are young and looking for risk. There are a bunch of great companies that will likely do roughly as well as the S&P in the long run, so if you are investing for 30+ years I would just get into the ETFs whereas if you want to manage your portfolio a little more regularly then you can play more with specific stocks.
Zim shipping ZIM, Annaly NLY, BLOK, Broadcom AVGO, Altria MO, GLTR for taxes.
Yeah, everybody is saying SQQQ or the like. I'm thinking of trying to play the ETH merge thing the next few weeks. BLOK puts, BRPHF, something like that.
Best performing sectors since 6-17 low: (1) $ETH.X - 39% (2) $XBI 25% (3) $ARKK - 24% (4) $XHB -18% (5) $BLOK - 15%
I agree with some of what you’re saying definitely in regards to the CEO being a uncharismatic possible lizard person. I don’t think that the meta verse will be the vast virtual reality that everyone is expecting and while I think that will be an aspect I think it will mostly be augmented reality based. That’s what I’m better on. That’s why I own BLOK and METV. They’re long shots but. Until the fundamentals decreases drastically I’ll continue to holds it for consistent returns. I think they’re going to do the same thing they did with Instagram (which I feel was a good bet), and continue to purchase these “newer” platforms.
In case you want to bet against 🌽 BITO puts BITI calls MARA puts RIOT puts BLOK puts That is all.
I am a bot from /r/wallstreetbets. You submitted one or more banned tickers: BLOK. Message /u/zjz if they're above 1.5 billion-ish market cap and not related to crypto/pennies/OTC.
BLOK is a stock, so why can’t it be in my portfolio with 100 other things? Good grief stupid rules
I am a bot. You submitted a picture of a banned ticker, BLOK. The market cap of BLOK is **136828000** This check will fire if you included unnecessary pictures that have bad phrases or a bad crop with news about cryptocoins, for example. Repost with the useless pictures omitted if you did that. Yell at /u/zjz if it's above 1 billion-ish market cap and not related to crypto/pennies/OTC.
I like BLOK. They have quite a few holdings and not US only so it provides international exposure many US investors cant easily obtain (on foreign exchanges). Be aware of its price sensitivity and concentration. It's high risk. It does have a huge dividend. It's an annual dividend though.
I can't find the holdings so it's hard to comment. But there are good ones like BLOK currently out that if similar should be good. There are some crappy blockchain ETF's like BLCN or KOIN that throw in a bunch of stuff very tangentially related to blockchain like Visa/Mastercard, Paypal, AMD, Docusign, etc. You want to make sure it has more specific exposures like miners and infrastructure (Coinbase, Voyager, Silvergate Bank, Galaxy Digital), etc.
This is not a first. There is already BLOK and DAPP.
**FDIG** is the one in particular if I read that announcement correctly. Although I can't find what's in it, it may not be dissimilar from BLOK or BKCH (and there are others) which track companies involved in the crypto industry. These are generally technology and finance companies. I own the other two and have taken a mighty paper loss on them. I'm just holding out, hoping to recoup some of that. As with many investments, it all depends what price you pay to get in the door.
Last dividend payments on BLOK were $5.75/share. Cha-ching
I think you have the right strategy, at least it’s the same I follow. My strategy has been to buy a mix of stocks, ETFs, and mutual funds, then hold them indefinitely. I still own stocks that I bought over 20 years ago, and they are doing extremely well, so time can work wonders. For stocks, I’ve chosen companies that aren’t going to disappear. These include things like Apple, Microsoft, McDonalds, Pepsi, Proctor & Gamble, etc. ETF-wise I tend to choose sectors that I expect to grow at some point, for example XLY, XLP, XLU, etc., along with some medical device ETFs. Mutual Funds are a bit more broad, so you may want to do some research on some of those. One other ETF/fund that has performed really well has been QQQ. No crypto at all, however, I have invested in BLOK to take advantage of the technology without the exposure/risk that buying individual crypto coins brings. Lots of people chase quick wins, but I’ve seen too many massacres to make it attractive to me. I’m perfectly fine with slow but steady gains, and I’ve done really well using my strategy. I’m also not a financial advisor or broker, so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Account is 30% tqqq, 20% BLOK and 50% banks I'm not even gonna log in today.
BLOK dead, SOFI dead, PYPL dead
There's an ETF for pretty much anything you could ever want. XL_ for any sector you could think of (XLE energy, XLF financials, etc), throw in EEM for emerging markets, MSOS for weed, PISL for psychedelics, PRINT for 3D printing, BLOK for blockchain, VO for mid cap, AVUV for small cap value! ARKK because you hate money, or just "say fuck it I give up" and put it all in VOO. It's up to you to choose *how* you want to diversify, and then I guarantee there's an ETF for it. And there's a lot of different strategies for that too. There's a shitload of websites you can find them on. direxion.com for example.
Agreed, BLOK, plus maybe ETHE (NAV is currently something like a 28% discount) maybe a little COIN, and might get savaged for this but PLTR - I think foundry for crypto might add meaningfully to PLTR’s future earnings.
Been doing that nicely for weeks and have no plan to stop. COIN, BLOK, and BITO puts all the way down.
Might want to consider BLOK or BKCH: https://www.etf.com/etfanalytics/etf-comparison/BLOK-vs-BKCH
Open up an account that allows fractional shares. Put $20 into five positions. $DIVO $AAPL $AMZN $BLOK and $BRK.B Every year on his birthday add $10 to each position to show that the account is being managed so the state doesn't seize it. As dividends begin to accumulate don't reinvest them buy $SAN $LILM or $SAND After the kid watches the portfolio for three years and records the gains quarterly in an investing journal they can make two changes a year that can only alter 40% of the portfolio. Any amount they want to add you should match. If they spend money there can be no match for one year. (If you have a business hire your kid for an ad and open the account as a ROTH IRA) KEY POINT: It is about teaching investment not short term capital gains. Do you want a video game, a car, a house, or never to work again? If you take one you delay the others.
Hmmmm. A lot uncertainty around this name. A.) crypto has took a HUGE PUNCH to the gonads the past 2 months; and names like Microvision, Overstock, Coin, RIOT, and BLOK have some strong correlations. B.) it’s a “Wood stock” - and poor ol’ Queen Cathy has created a LOT of stink for underperforming the market the past 12 months.
What ETF are you talking about? BLOK is managed by Amplify, not GlobalX.
Does anyone know why $BLOK payed a 14% dividend a couple of days ago? Trying to find info in their page and can't find anything. Checked on their holdings and can't find anything paying high dividends. Searched on twitter and in here, but no one really talks about this ETF.
I am a bot from /r/wallstreetbets. You submitted one or more banned tickers: BLOK. Message /u/zjz if they're above 1.5 billion-ish market cap and not related to crypto/pennies/OTC.
What happened to BLOK? 13% dividend.
Either the holdings aren't available on Fidelity or they don't release them but there are some other ETFs that track a similar index (presumably), like BLOK, KOIN, BLCN, and LEGR.
Um, I have 195 shares of BLOK. Wow, this is a nice surprise! I'm down 21% on it otherwise!
BLOK is taking an ass beating. It might be time to jump in
There are probably better options for international exposure. VSGX's 2nd biggest holding is Nestle which is pretty controversial for a fund trying to be ESG. Not really liking some of their other holdings like Toyota either. I bet some better fund can be found to replace XT as well, maybe something like BLOK. XT seems too diversified, any stock popping off is going to be diluted by the other holdings.
I love semi's as much as the next guy but that is very concentrated. You got 2 semi etfs(soxx + xsd), plus nvidia and AMD, and BLOK's biggest holding is nvda, QQQ also has a lot of nvda. Living dangerously imo if you are retired and relying on stock market. FWIW soxx is my biggest holding by far but my other 4 stocks are msft goog cost and tmo.
Most boring stuff around: QQQ AMD NVDA SMH XSD AAPL TSLA BLOK QQQ, SMH and XSD I almost never touch and only add to on large corrections. The rest, I hold half and swing half when appropriate. It's boring but it works.
I've been eyeing BLOK and similar emerging fintech ETFs. With the last week being unkind to crypto and COIN, they're in a dip. I have to decide if I think crypto is going to stabilize and become a financial staple. There are definitely problems with it but it does seem here to stay. I like to find companies that are long established but who are embracing a new tech as part of their business model. Some age old financial institutions (V, MC) and some newer but well established (PYPL) are creeping in that direction, I like the looks of that. COIN is too tightly correlated to BTC, but these other financial companies will probably be fine whether crypto pans out or not, feels like a self-hedging investment.
BLOK is my favorite pick for capitalizing on a certain c oin you can't mention here. You get the best players in the magical internet money space. If that thing we can't talk about does hit the moon you can bet your pants that BLOK will as well
Some sector ETFs would be good to look at as well. I am very bullish on semiconductors long term. My current ETF portfolio covers S&P (VOO), Nasdaq (QQQ), semis (SMH), batteries (LIT), gaming (ESPO), blockchain (BLOK), cybersecurity (CIBR), industrials (XLI), and steel (SLX). I know, tech heavy, but I am long on all.
SMH - Hold & Add using 55 MA as dip line QQQ - Hold & Add using 55 MA as dip line AAPL - Hold & Swing 1/2 AMD - Hold & Swing 1/2 NVDA - Hold & Swing 1/2 TSLA - Hold & Swing 1/2 BLOK - Hold & add using BTC corrections of more than 20% as dip Overall I'm 50% in semiconductors. 15% max in TSLA. 15% max in AAPL. 15% crypto related (BLOK, BTC & ETH) 5% cash You could say I have strong conviction in technology.

There are literally 1000's of crypto tokens out there. 99% of them are dog shit. Unless you are willing to do a significant amount of legitimate research, do not invest in individual crypto currencies. If you don't want to do any research but still want to own crypto - invest in Bitcoin only. My actual advice that I hope you follow is to forget about crypto tokens. Crypto, Blockchain, NFT's, etc are all novel technologies which are never going away. They have value because they have the possibility to become safer and more efficient than conventional assets. IMO, the wise investment is in companies which are the established first movers in the "Digital Asset" space. I think a 5% portfolio allocation in digital assets is appropriate. $MSTR, $MARA, $RIOT, and $COIN are some of the better companies directly involved in crypto/Blockchain services. There are also digital asset themed ETFs if you want a single fund approach. $BLOK, $BLCN, & $ARKF are all examples.
BLOK is the ETF that is a loss for me at the moment.
thanks for reminding. $META etf too and maybe $BLOK
Sold my BLOK calls for a small gain yesterday to pick up 400 more HITI. You buy stuff when it's on sale. I've been buying for like 8 months... Today I only had $25 left over in my brokerage, so I bought 4 shares. Someday their realized losses will be used to purchase Wendy's, if I'm lucky.
Square going full crypto by changing to Block, still SQ until they figure out if BLCK or BLOK acceptable
GBTC is not an ETF it's a close end trust. A spot ETF is not approved yet but GBTC is filing to convert. Once converted the current discount should arbitrage away and be a free 14% gain if you're a long term holder. You can check the premium here [1](https://twitter.com/GrayscaleTrust) [2](https://ycharts.com/companies/GBTC/discount_or_premium_to_nav) before you buy. MSTR and miners are another way to get leveraged exposure. Blockchain ETFs like BLOK RIGZ BTCR BITQ BKCH DAPP give exposure to various combinations of all the above. The futures ETF BITO is ok if you're short term trading or else the roll costs will be worse than the GBTC management fee.
BLOK etf top holding is now AGPXX O-O
Look at BLOK ETF. I own it and am very happy with it. I also have COIN which is outstanding. They are volatile like all crypto so be prepared.
Either in crypto directly, individual miners & exchanges, or crypto equity & mining ETFs like BLOK RIGZ BTCR BITQ BKCH DAPP
Thank you for sharing. I am pretty interest in BLOK overall so far as I’ve been researching today. It looks like a good play
I used to invest in GBTC via my Fidelity IRA, but I found it to be an inconsistent tracker of Bitcoin price movements. I now invest in BLOK. Their top holdings are companies that hold/mind BTC, alongside companies that are focusing on blockchain technology. You can view their holdings [here](https://amplifyetfs.com/blok-holdings.html).
You’re not looking hard enough. GBTC, ETHE, BKCH, BLOK, etc.
It sure can happen with an ETF. Check out URNM or BLOK.
Hut did well on ER and now meh, riot is the red headed stepchild of the group and I love em. Went in on BLOK, BKCH, and BTCR. Got all em Corn miners on deck.
I bought COIN at the end of September and early October. My holding are up 36.19% as of today. I bought BITO the day it was offered and it’s down. I like COIN better and it’s playing better in my portfolio than the futures ETF, which is risky speculative. I might dump it on a total gain up day and stick with COIN and BLOK.
Could’ve just bought BLOK 2 weeks ago when I did and you would’ve had the same result🤪🤷🏻♂️
