  1. @GhostOnTheHalfShell there's two scenarios where i see a massive bitcoin crash:

    1. something happens to the #microstrategy / #MSTR #ponzi scheme. fun fact: they sold their first ever bitcoins today and people are freaking out. reddit.com/r/CryptoCurrency/co

    2. #AIPAC or #Israel forces the US to break #bitcoin to make sure #Iran can't use it. this can be done by leaning on the #bitcoinminers in #Texas but now that the Trump family has a financial stake i wouldn't count on it (though it does set up an interesting "unstoppable force meets immovable object" scenario to watch)

  2. this is an actual slide from a real presentation a few months ago by the king of the “borrow money to buy bitcoin” companies #MicroStrategy / Strategy / #MSTR

  3. Michael Saylor, the king of the "borrow money to buy #bitcoin" crew, has launched yet *another* new stock ticker to facilitate his ponzi scheme - sorry, i mean "bitcoin yield strategy".

    this time it's #STRC and he's coming hard with the meme game (which is his only game - a few years ago he said MicroStrategy was going to become a bitcoin technology company but they've never released - or even announced - any bitcoin related technology).

    in other unrelated news Michael Saylor bought another $700-800 million worth of bitcoin with borrowed money last week just as the price went up.

  4. #MicroStrategy borrowed another billion dollars to pump #bitcoin, mostly with their new funny money stock tickers #STRK, #STRF, and #STRD (they're multiplying like rabbits).

  5. it would be hard to think of a more obvious example of #malinvestment than a bunch of companies rushing to turn themselves into vehicles to use borrowed money to buy bitcoin a la #MicroStrategy.

    just in the past few weeks we've seen #HowardLutnick's sons launch one of these things with #Tether, MicroStrategy continuing to borrow and buy billions, #Metaplanet and Semler Scientific getting in on the action in a smaller way, this new David Bailey grift, and just yesterday the CEO of #Strive launched a plan to raid profitable companies with free cash and use their cash to buy bitcoin: x.com/thomas_fahrer/status/192

    (we've even seen a logistics company announcing plans to borrow money to buy #TRUMP memecoins!)

  6. Good overview of the insanity that is #MichaelSaylor's "buy billions of dollars worth of bitcoin with borrowed money" approach to financial engineering.

    > "If #MicroStrategy's strategy is so brilliant, why isn't every company doing it? Should Apple stop making iPhones and just convert its cash to Bitcoin? Should Coca-Cola abandon soda production and become a Bitcoin holding company?"

  7. #GameStop will be “investing” some of the $4.6 billion cash pile it accumulated by dumping #GME shares on retail apes (who are tbh significantly dumber than crypto bros, which is impressive) into bitcoin.

    This follows #MichaelSaylor of #MicroStrategy's entreaties to the company a few weeks ago, because pretty clearly Saylor’s #MSTR / #STRK / #STRF ponzi scheme is running out of steam and he desperately needs other people’s money to prop up the scam.

  8. One week ago #MicroStrategy (#MSTR, the world's largest pot of bitcoins masquerading as a publicly traded company) announced they were raising $21 billion (1/3rd of the entire company) via a new "perpetual strike preferred stock" called #STRK to raise cash to pump the price of bitcoin.

    Today now suddenly they are announcing they will raise money via yet *another* financial instrument "strife" (#STRF) to pump the price of bitcoin.

    absolutely wild. bitcoin cannot be "digital gold" if its price depends on the solvency of a single company (which it now does)

  9. #MicroStrategy's “bitcoin strategy” is going fully pyramidal. The company has spent $33 billion on bitcoins now “worth” roughly $41 billion over the past 5 years (at least $7-8 billion of those bought with borrowed money). Now #MichaelSaylor just announced a $21 billion sale of their special new #STRK perpetual strike “stock” (different from the regular stock, which is #MSTR) to buy even more bitcoin. Note that the market cap of MicroStrategy is ~$60 billion, so that's a sale of 1/3rd (sort of - STRK isn't exactly a share of stock).

    Paraphrasing Dan Davies
    here, something along the lines of “the nature of fraud is to expand until stopped by an external force”…
