The same investment in Bitcoin but different results～

Here’s a recent share I read about:

When I first invested in Bitcoin, I chose BlackRock's spot ETF—IBIT, which saved me the hassle of cold wallets and allowed me to directly link to the coin's price. Later, I also increased my investment in Semler Scientific (SMLR), a medical technology company that includes Bitcoin on its balance sheet, wanting to try different ways to invest in Bitcoin.

The reality was quite different:

📈 IBIT rose 14% in half a year, slightly beating Bitcoin's 12%

📉 SMLR fell 40% due to a business investigation, and even though it holds Bitcoin, it couldn’t save itself

This experience gave me three reminders:

1｜Do you want to participate in the coin price, or are you betting on the company's transformation?

2｜How much management fee, safety risk, or leverage pressure can you accept?

3｜Bitcoin is inherently volatile, and with company operational variables, the risk can double.

Not every Bitcoin investment method is suitable for everyone. ETFs are the most accessible and stable option, but if you want to play at an advanced level, you need to clearly understand if you can bear the consequences. #btc $BTC
