FBTC -> Bitcoin

Hey all,

I invested around $30,000 into FBTC, and it's up $6,000. I would like to convert this to actual bitcoin. I do all this via my brokerage, so in the same account I can sell the FBTC, and then use that account to fund bitcoin purchase. I dont know if it needs a day to settle or not.

It's a taxable brokerage account, so if I sell, it will cost me "highest tax bracket" of short term capital gains, so like $1600 or something. But this would let me own a true like 0.3 btc.

Would you do it, or leave it alone?

I feel like I'm falling for the koolaid, and that I should own the actual btc and not just FBTC.
