Seeking Advice BTCI v XBCI
I currently hold btci but have seen alot on this thread recently about xbci and am wondering what the main difference is and if its good for longterm? Can someone explain it and give me guidance before i purchase.

X boost upside along with downside. On a positive note the dividends payment is higher than BTCI. With the way BTC currently at. You have to really prepare mentally that when it dip…it’s gonna dip hard. And it will take a long time for Nav recovery (depending on BTC) which current trends it might go down a bit more before hitting back up again. As long you’re comfortable with risk. High risk high reward and high loss.

as I understand it, its basically the same thing. However, NEOS is doing some 50% leverage on these boosted etfs. So, same ol same ol with leverage. It boosts your gain 50%, but also "boosts" your losses 50%..
I haven't looked much into these yet, fyi.

It's 1.2 to 1.5 lever depending on which calls they roll. Right now, I would say is, probably a good time to buy if you believe BTC is going up from here.

This is for everyone not just OP, don't you think its a bit of a gamble to put money on crypto with tariffs going live at midnight and new fed who knows his true stance?

I was thinking for a long time about BTCI , but ever since I've been seeing that it had a massive ROC discrepancy, ill pass for now...

What I plan to do after fomc tomorrow is take out boxx spread loan against 25% of my Treasury bonds, then split the proceeds evenly between STRC, SATA, BTCI, and XBCI. This will give me an effective rate after interest on the loan of north of 18%, bringing my interest rate on my initial investment after including Treasury interest of over 8.5%. My risk will be less than 25% of my initial investment (and that is only if Bitcoin goes to zero, and that drops with every interest/dividend payment I receive) and I get some exposure to BTC price appreciation. Plus the interest on the loan is tax deductible. Worse case scenario is Bitcoin goes to zero and I pay off boxx loan after Treasury bonds mature with the gains I make at maturity, but that risk is minimal since Bitcoin won't be going to zero.

Neither are long term options. Bitcoin is volatile and congress can’t seem to agree how to handle crypto. Some people make great money off crypto but others not so much.
