BTCY and ETHY

I'm looking to add some crypto exposure to my TFSA and RRSP. I think BTCY and ETHY seem like good options given their high dividend rates. FBTC, MSTR, and ETHX are also obvious options.

What am I missing about BTCY and ETHY? Given the move with BTC and ETH (but they don't go as high), and pay out high dividend rates, they seem perfect if someone wants to hold them long-term, maybe sell some at peaks, but also benefit from holding. Posts I can find from years ago talk about declining dividend rates, but BTCY is currently 0.085 per share, and ETHY is 0.047, both near their highest levels (and either way, that's still +20% dividends).

They seem like a no-brainer to me, but I'm likely missing something. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

And yes, I know, not my crypto, not my keys, but gains in TFSA are tax-free, and RRSP contributions 'make' 28.2% immediately and allow for truly long-term thinking, so having crypto exposure in a wallet plus these accounts is a good idea.

BTC Price This Week

I know BTC's price has been dropping this week. What's your plan? Are you just waiting for the price to recover so you can break even, or are you buying the dip? Do you still have cash left? 😊

"Today will be our 7th Sat Market here in Calgary" at 4-9PM

>Today will be our 7th Sat Market here in Calgary. Since bootstrapping this local Bitcoin market a couple years ago it has grown into an awesome community that I now feel is becoming self sustaining. Tonight we're expecting between 40-50 vendors and a few hundred people in attendance.

Community members now regularly volunteer to help organize, others step up to help with funding (which was out of my own pocket for most of them), and we're beginning to expand into additional community events so it becomes more of an experience.

I can't wait to see what's next, and I encourage people to build their own local communities that use Bitcoin as money. It's incredibly rewarding and brings everyone together. Will post pics after the event!
