$MSTR bottomed after 65 weeks during the last cycle, with weekly RSI dropping below 30. This time, MSTR is in the 66th week, and its RSI dropped below 30 last week. Has MSTR bottomed for this cycle?

A minimum wage of £15 would end my coffee shop, it would have to close, as would many other businesses. I’ll explain for the economically illiterate. Staff costs are currently half our costs, a £15 minimum wage is actually more than £15 an hour for the company, because you have to add: - 12.07% holiday - Sick pay - Maternity pay if and when required - National insurance - Pension contributions These costs would mean the shop loses money because remember, energy costs are up, rates are up, regulations are up. Now you can pass these costs onto the consumer - that would mean charging a lot more for coffee, people won’t pay it. The likes of Starbucks and Costa can, because they have economies of scale. The independent doesn’t. Now the little socialist will say well this is your fault, if you can’t run a business that can afford to pay its staff properly, but the little socialist has never run a business and does not understand the dynamics. Now I could pay some staff off and fill those hours myself or reduce us to one staff member during certain periods - but this proves the point that a minimum wage costs jobs. There was a time when these jobs were done by kids, perhaps on the weekend, paid a lower wage, no holiday and no silly employment rights. Perhaps they were even paid cash. The dynamic worked and small businesses like this could operate. It was also a great first job. Sadly now it isn’t worth employing entitlement youngsters at this level of pay. So alas, I don’t need the stress, the business would close, a number of jobs would be lost. Economics is about understanding these dynamics, no vibes. The cost of living is not solved through passing on inflation to the business, it is solved by ending high inflation and creating prosperity. This is what socialists don’t understand, they can’t create prosperity, they can only destroy it.

It is quite hilarious that Crypto degens are risking their first born on lending DeFi protocols to get 4-6% yield when they could just take massively less risk and get 11.5% with $STRC

Hal Finney basically described the STRC endgame in 2010. Bitcoin becomes high-powered money. Financial institutions issue credit and digital cash on top of it. Bitcoin settles the base layer. The market prices different issuers by reserve quality, risk, and redemption confidence. That is not a betrayal of Bitcoin. That is Bitcoin eating banking from underneath.

$STRC will have dividends twice a month. 🎉
