I watched an interesting discussion on Bloomberg the other day on bitcoin and the investment guru was very upbeat on bitcoin. I have some spare cash and was tempted to invest a small amount but am not to savvy to risk this but would like to know if there is an IT or fund that covers this as the risk I think would be lower, I know the majority on this board do not like bitcoin but a small punt within an IT or fund would be tempting, any thoughts would be most welcome, thanks

Re: bitcoin
Geoff,
When lockdown is over I'd strongly suggest you take the money and spend a day at the races. You'll have much more fun and and also get a breath of fresh air.
The question I always ask about "investment guru's" is why do they need to tell us how to make money. Why don't they simply make some of their own, buy a racecourse, sit back and relax?
If you don't understand Bitcoin and I would suggest most really don't then I don't think you should consider investing in it.
Sorry I couldn't be more upbeat about the subject.

Re: bitcoin
Since the OP has asked a straight question, a straight answer seems to be in order. Yes, there's a fund called the XBT Provider Bitcoin Tracker (https://www.hl.co.uk/shares/shares-sear ... acker-euro), which has done predictably nicely since the spring.
But will it spread the risk? I doubt it. It's domiciled in Sweden, I think, and it's an exchange traded note, and AIUI it isn't secured by any of the normal regulatory parachutes, and some UK platforms won't let you trade it. Do your homework, and then take a long cold shower until the feeling goes away.

Re: bitcoin
If you really want bitcoin it's not hard to get yourself some.
Coinfloor.co.uk appear to be in the UK of you want to try.
I can't help thinking that right now may be a bad time to buy in a big way. But I am often wrong.
