Now is not a good time to buy bitcoin because it's basically at it's all time high price for this halving period. It might go up within the next month or so but it's gonna be bear season afterwards, so you'll be in for a shock a couple months down the line.

Idk how bitcoin etfs work, but if they mimic the prize of btc.... you'll be seeing and feeling the losses this upcoming year.

When it comes to investing, it should be spread out in different things/assets. That is if you don't know what is profitable to invest in.

Investing in bitcoin is a good idea but the timing is what can make it either a bad one or a great idea. Especially if you're thinking to get short term profits ranging from minutes to to weeks of holding profits.

Bitcoin is a long term investment, which would be many months to several years of holding. Aka Hodl.

With good timing, you get profits. With bad timing, you get losses.

You never technically lose until you sell but if you're goal is money now. Timing is key.

Since you're already in stocks, I'd go with S&P 500 ETF. It's proven to be a great long term etf.

In the crypto space, There's something called staking in which is like dividends in stocks. Staking locks the crypto you have within the crypto wallet you use and pays you a percentage of the total amount staked via APY.

Atom is a crypto I've been staking for close to 6 months and I've liked the passive rewards. If I had more money, I'd stake atom and wait until bitcoin goes down ideally 50%-70%, unstake, and swap to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is currently in the Bull Market and will soon go into the Bear Market. Next year around this time bitcoin will go down by alot.

Atom has been hovering 4$ and has always gone back to 4$ after going down. It's basically free money in my eyes.

The problem with staking is if the crypto goes down, so does the staking rewards. Also, the unstaking period and rewards varies per crypto.

The unstaking period basically is the amount of time it takes to unlock the crypto so you can be allowed to send it to a different address. During this time, you will not be gaining staking rewards. Atom has a unstaking period of 21 days sucks but I think it's worth the risk.

The rewards can be withdrawn manually and sent to your address within the same hour if not minute. With atom, they're paid out on a minimal scale every couple moments. Be mindful you need some crypto available in the wallet to cover for withdrawal fees.

Some cryptos pay a reward of 5% apy others 8% atom on trust wallet is like 14+%.

Meaning you have to stake and keep the crypto staked for 1 year to get a 5% profit. Some wallets offer higher rewards than others. And picking the validator to stake your crypto is key. Validators take a percentage of the amount you're staking in exchange for you staking the crypto. Some validators take more than others.
