Interested to hear your thoughts on what would happen to MSTR, ASST in the event that 1929 was actually revisited? I’m assuming they would be massively dragged down by the market, but guessing they would then outperform everything? @GrainofSaltSF @MitchTX21 @Werkman @PunterJeff
I don't think you understand how truly fucked we are... Imagine 2008 but 10x the leverage, a housing bubble, a commercial real estate bubble, a private credit bubble and a stock market bubble. All at the same time... We are in 1929.

How I felt about the last BTC “bull” market.

I’ve listened to many many hours of interviews with BTCTC CEOs, and I can tell you that Chase asked the most thoughtful and intelligent questions of any interviewer I’ve heard. This is definitely worth a listen.
Strive doesn't want to be the next @Strategy. I sat down with @ColeMacro, CEO of @Strive, for a candid conversation about bitcoin amplification, $ASST vs. $MSTR, $SATA vs. $SATS vs. $STRC , digital credit yields, dividend innovation, and Strive's aggressive approach to maximizing total returns. I learned a ton, and one thing became clear: Strive and Strategy are on very different paths. New episode of RE:Bitcoin 👇 🎥 YouTube: youtu.be/cCnvVTbfDC8

I’ve always found this infographic to be very powerful in communicating the value of saving in bitcoin. I used AI to recreate it and update it for 2025. While I was at it, I also had it verify the data and the math. See footnote for the methodology. Hope this is helpful.

Replying to @XanoHQ
@XanoHQ WTF? You say you’re fully operational, but I’m getting 503 error when trying to log into my Xano back end, and 502 error if I try to login from the Xano website. I live in Toronto.

Hmmmm. Quit my browser and relaunched and got to my instance page on Xano, but when I tried to open my insurance I got 503 error.

2 wks into “S3” of @TNorth podcast. Now that it’s all Strive, it feels like more of The Hurdle Rate. I miss the independent contributions of @GrainofSaltSF and @hillery_dan. Feels kinda like when The Beatles broke up 😢

Happy that @BTCtreasuries Conference was streamed, cause I couldn’t make it this year. Nice to see @EricBalchunas there, and I think @GrantCardone is the Charles Barkley of this space. He calls it like he sees it with no apologies!

Hey @LaDoger you do such great work with the @saylor videos! Which is your favourite AI for video creation?

Bitcoin is Capital. World just hasn’t recognized it yet.
The greatest opportunities belong to those who can see what something is becoming before the rest of the world can see beyond what it is today.

An example of why I seldom join spaces on X (even if the subject interests me): The space is titled “Bullish on MSTR”. Joined space & the 1st thing I hear is some yahoo saying “I’m anti-immigration”. I LEAVE. But @GrainofSaltSF knows how to run a space. He keeps it on track!

Bitcoin is a bet that math, thermodynamics, and individual self-interest are permanent features of reality.

Sounds about right 😢🥱😀
Bitcoin is 50% pain, 45% boredom, 5% enthusiasm. Learn to deal with it, or get crushed.

Wow. This announcement by Strive is indeed monumental. $SATA dividends will be paid DAILY. Can’t believe that they leapfrogged Strategy on div. frequency. The question now is will Saylor follow suit after they switch to semi-monthly for $STRC? $ASST $SATA #innovation

What is this, yield for ants 🐜… try $STRC or $SATA
If you could be guaranteed an average annual return of 7% on your portfolio for the rest of your life- Would you take it?

You need to read Ryan’s post twice. $STRC has the largest Total Addressable Market of any financial product in the world. This is why Strategy Inc. will become the largest company in the world.
The most desirable product on planet Earth is early retirement. A universal & highly desirable outcome that everyone wants, regardless of where they live or what language they speak. $STRC has the world’s largest TAM, imo.
