Rafael | Dapital

A few of my buddies built @trydapital and I wanted to show them some love. I’ve been playing around with the app and they’ve actually built something pretty damn cool. You can trade crypto, stocks/RWAs and perps all from the same app. I bought some $ANSEM, picked up some $AVGO, shorted Google at 10x and jumped into a 15x BTC long. The entire trading flow is ridiculously simple. You can build watchlists across different assets and chains, the charts are fully customizable, and I really like being able to see the estimated return on a perp before putting the trade on. But probably my favorite part is the social feed. People can post their trade ideas and thesis, and if you like what you’re reading, you can tap the cashtag and trade it directly from the post. The person who posted the idea can even earn a portion of the trading fees generated from it. It’s always cool watching friends take an idea and actually build it into something people can use. Go check out @trydapital and play around with the app for yourself.

Michael Saylor's $STRC is BLEEDING STRC is a preferred share Strategy issues that's designed to trade at $100 Right now it's down to $84, below the $90 it even launched at Buyers now demand a 13.7% yield to hold something built to pay 11.5%, and that gap is just pure market pricing The way they hold it near par is simple: when the price drops, they raise the dividend to pull buyers back in That worked while it stayed near $100 The problem is the cost. STRC already pays out over $1 BILLION a year That money comes from selling new STRC at par, or selling MSTR common at a premium, then using the cash to cover the dividends Both only work while the market is willing to pay up Now that STRC sits well below par, they've paused issuing it, and the same pressure eats into the premium on MSTR That leaves the $1.1 billion cash reserve, and selling Bitcoin, the one move Saylor swore he'd never make, which already started last month From here his options are thin Bitcoin pumping on its own reopens everything, but that's out of his hands Or an outside bailout, a sovereign or institution taking a massive stake Everything he actually controls just feeds the doom loop The most aggressive Bitcoin buyer alive now has to sit and wait for Bitcoin to save him
