@WOLF_Bitcoin_ You mean $1.1 million

Never forget when BILLIONAIRE Grant Cardone accepted 15 BTC (~$50K) as payment over 13 years ago He hodled it. Current worth: ~$11M

@ProofOfMoney Take your coins off exchanges!!

What a devastating lesson this was for so many Bitcoiners back in 2022. Did you have 1 whole Bitcoin there when they stopped withdrawals? Great… that’s a $16,500 frozen price. And we’ll give you 35% of that. So here’s $5,775 and we’re good. But wait… there’s more. We’ll then divide that $5,775 into half a dozen payments over 5 years.

@STRC_live Thank you very much for the awesome website

$STRC closes at $100.005 on 1.82M shares — 97% of volume above ATM threshold all session. ~1,015 BTC estimated today. New single-day record, well past the previous best of ~787. Historic accumulation. Yield at 11.5%. STRC.live

@jv_finance The green zone on the 5 yr is a clean 10x to gold tho

There’s still no sign of Bitcoin stopping its decline.

@WayneVaughan @SBF_FTX I love this, genius lol

Earlier today I proposed the Bankman scale. Think of it as a Richter scale for crypto liquidation events, named in honor of the notorious @SBF_FTX. The base unit: 1 SBF = $1.75B liquidated. Yesterday: 1.5 SBFs Luna collapse: 0.86 SBFs 10/10: 10.9 SBFs There’s a problem with my original proposal. Inflation distorts the base unit over time. A $1.75B liquidation hits different when BTC market cap is $320B vs $2.4T. The fix: measure liquidations as a percentage of Bitcoin’s market cap, then compare to the FTX baseline. How to calculate an SBF: 1. Take the liquidation amount 2. Divide by Bitcoin’s market cap at that moment 3. Divide by 0.55% (the FTX collapse ratio) During FTX, $1.75B was liquidated when BTC market cap was $320B. That’s 0.55% of the market. This becomes our baseline: 1.0 SBF. Recalculated: Yesterday: 0.25 SBF Luna collapse: 0.47 SBF 10/10: 1.44 SBF Now the Bankman scale is relative, not absolute. A 1 SBF event will feel equally significant whether it’s 2022 or 2032.

@Rajatsoni Hmm i think probably 2-3k bitcoin. I like to calculate the number of wholecoiners eliminated relative to the 21 million cap and the ~8 billion people: (3,000/21,000,000)x100=0.0143 % (0.0143/100)x8,000,000,000=1,144,000 wholecoiners eliminated relative to the global population

How many wholecoiners were eliminated this week?

@piovincenzo_ I think around 2-3k

Over or under 10,000 bitcoins? Last week was 23k Previous week was 13k Any takers?

Legendary. It seems like for every $1 of $STRC issued, $6 of $MSTR Common Stock is also issued.

An idea just hit me about Saylor's strategy. And it's about the harmony he created between individual incentives and company incentives. Here's what I realized: Companies and individuals have opposite cash flow needs. 1) Companies generate consistent revenue but need a place to store that economic energy long-term. 2) Individuals need consistent cash flow to handle short-term expenses but struggle to preserve wealth. So Saylor engineered solutions for both and they mirror each other perfectly. For companies: - Layer 0 = Bitcoin (perfect store of value) - Layer 1 = Cash flow generation Companies already have cash flow. What they need is a perfect container to preserve that value and Bitcoin solves this. For Individuals: - Layer 0 = $STRC (income generation + stability) - Layer 1 = Bitcoin (store of value) Individuals are the opposite because they need cash flow first. For 99% of people, short-term needs (rent, food, bills) override long-term planning. So the individual path must be: 1. Generate stable income first 2. Store excess value second And this is where STRC comes in. Saylor created STRC to leverage human psychology: - People crave stability - People need steady income - People want to feel secure NOW STRC satisfies those immediate needs with yield and reduced volatility. But here's the genius: While giving individuals the stability they crave, STRC is simultaneously funneling that capital into Bitcoin accumulation. The stability they seek IS the mechanism that buys more Bitcoin. Companies: Bitcoin first → Generate cash flow second Individuals: Stable income first → Store in Bitcoin second Different entry points but with the same destination. Both paths feed into Bitcoin accumulation, just from opposite directions. This works because companies think long-term by default. Their incentive structure rewards delayed gratification. So they can start with Bitcoin (volatile but perfect long-term store) and build cash flow on top. Individuals think short-term by necessity. Their incentive structure demands immediate cash flow. So they need to start with stability ($STRC) and graduate to Bitcoin. Saylor didn't fight human nature, instead he designed around it. Once you see this, the whole system clicks: - Individuals seek income → Buy $STRC → Yield paid in Bitcoin accumulation - Companies seek preservation → Buy Bitcoin → Generate cash flow to buy more Both loops are self-reinforcing. Both loops feed Bitcoin demand. Neither requires Saylor to do anything except watch. It's like he created two rivers flowing from different sources but merging into the same ocean. Individuals come for the yield and stability. Companies come for the store of value and treasury strategy. Both end up holding Bitcoin. Both create buy pressure. Both strengthen the entire ecosystem. That's not just a strategy. That's a self-perpetuating system built on understanding incentive structures. Saylor solved for human psychology at both the individual and institutional level with opposing strategies that achieve the same outcome. And this is just ₿rilliant.

True or false: Strategy will hold Bitcoin forever no matter what. @saylor : “True”

Unpopular opinion: I think both will happen in the next couple years

@JesseKobernick Let’s say a UAE bank decides to adopt $STRC They can strip the volatility to zero and offer 8% and keep the 1%+ spread, but they will market the product to trillions of dollars in capital. Saylor cannot do that and it’s not his goal to compete with them, he can just supply $STRC

@JesseKobernick Technically that would still compete with US parties by drawing capital away from the US. The analogy he used was that he created high-powered fuel ($STRC) he doesn’t need to build the entire infrastructure that comes as a result of that, like roads, autos.. someone else should

Is there a reason Strategy couldn’t launch a non-US stablecoin that pays the same yield as STRC?

@TheLOSTworld_ Absolute genius

#LOST has one of the best soundtracks of all time. Absolutely perfection.

@StrategyMaxi @Strategy This is from the Strategy App

@Oashkar7 @Strategy I use the Strategy website, which displays a line chart for traded volume.

Printers go Brrr $MSTR - $15B volume if 5% of volume is ATM = $750m raised $STRC - $550M volume if 40% of volume is ATM = $220m raised We did $1B raise so far this week. We got two more trading days! Are you still bearish? Com'n.

@Pappy_Mo @fold_app What do you need help with?

@Oashkar7 @fold_app I have a $25 Bitcoin card (digital) can you help me redeem it?

@fold_app Thanks for the quick response and transparency. 12% still feels steep for onboarding newbies especially when it leads to confusion like "Why did my $100 gift turn into $88 worth of BTC?" You should be upfront and transparent about the fees, and possibly have the buyer pay for it

We are working to get the fees as low as possible, however the retailers and banks carrying the cards require a cut. For reference, Bitcoin ATMs at these same locations charge 20% fee. Thanks for the feedback, in the meantime, buying bitcoin directly on Fold is the cheapest all in spread and fee around. btcpricetool.com
