Trying to Buy Coinbase Stock on IPO Day - Institutional Investors Freeze out Retail Investors

By: Nadeem_Walayat

The institutional investors froze out the retail investors, I tried to buy the stock around a target price of about $350 for the first half hour of trading without success, no stock available as my following video illustrates. I view coinbase as a high risk long-term all or nothing stock, if you don't understand what that means then first read my recent article in-depth analysis on how to invest in high risk stocks (How to Invest in HIGH RISK Tech Stocks for 2021 and Beyond) that has first been made available to patrons who support my work.

So coinbase closed at $328, which is better than if it closed at $428, though in the long-run the current price should not make much difference, i.e. if the price increases 10 fold or goes to zero so the few percent difference does not matter much at the start in ones high risk investment that gives exposure to a crypto stock that should be still around a decade from now and unlike crypto currencies can be held within a tax free wrapper such as an ISA or SIPP.

The crypto mania is continuing to offer a short window of opportunity for likely only a few more months as Bitcoin continues to trade well above $50,000 which means virtually anyone with a decent GPU in their desktop PC can make easy money crypto mining in the background, and here's how my desktop PC is actually earning a net $6.50 per day crypto mining in the background, which within 3 weeks earned $136 net of UK electricity costs that resolves to $200 per month, more than enough to cover 5 years of Patreon fees at $3 per month ($180)!

Check out my video if you want FREE money, and yes my eyes rolled when I wrote that, sounds too good to be true. Though I do cover the risks in the video such as that the Bitcoin price WILL CRASH, and mining profits are GPU dependant. Nevertheless crypto mining in the background with Nicehash is generating $6.5 profit per day for me, so do look into crypto mining with your desktop PC whilst it lasts (referral link).

The bottom line is that the current free easy money crypto mining environment is time limited, how long will it persist for? Whilst I will do an analysis on the future prospects for the Bitcoin price in forthcoming piece. However, I don't see this crypto mania party extending much beyond 3 more months, especially as a major change is coming to Ethereum called EIP 1559 which will effectively halve the reward for miners. Note mining with NiceHash is actually done in Ethereum but the payout is in Bitcoin, more reason not to waste this time limited opportunity.
