In this video, I discuss the many problems with Bitcoin mutual funds and Bitcoin ETFs that are backed by Bitcoin futures.

Since the Bitcoin futures curve is almost always in a state of contango, holding Bitcoin futures will almost always lead to underperformance, due to the negative carry.

I think it's much safer to avoid any tracking error or counter-party risk by holding BTC itself on a hardware wallet like the ColdCard or Blockstream Jade.
