I now understand why AI will eat the software industry. I used to have a web agency. With Claude over the last 3 days I have built and deployed a system that would have: - Taken 6 months - Cost £150-200k - Required 8 different skill sets I can't design. I can't code. I don't understand SQL, APIs, Cloud Storage - yet Claude has walked me through Github, Supabase, Vercel and it is deployed and working. A 100% custom software system - 3 days, 1 idiot. BLOWN AWAY!

In this thread there's an actual argument between which business model is better financial engineering or free cash flow. Bitcoin doesn't break the laws of business. Free cash flow trumps everything. For the love of god please go learn business 101. The real economy is built from cash flow. Real products and services. Obviously there is risk and generating cash flow is REALLY hard. But that's what makes it so valuable. Please repeat after me: - The best way to grow a business is from free cash flow - The best way to limit debt and equity issuance is from free cash flow - The best way to acquire Bitcoin is from free cash flow The best Bitcoin companies will be the ones generating the most free cash flow.

I have nothing but respect for what $MSTR has built. No issue from me. My dad and I laughing that "torque" has become a financial term was just a funny anecdote. I believe a Bitcoin company with operating cash flow, one that can finance itself without dilution or selling BTC, is the dream long term model. Having new and/or different ideas shouldn’t be controversial. We’re all on the same team.

We think the Strike Bitcoin Line of Credit (BLOC) is effectively a form of "storage" for miners. Let me explain: The Commodity Parallel - Many of you know that Bitcoin is not the only commodity we produce; we are also corn and soybean producers. - A major advantage in farming is being able to store corn and soybeans after harvest. - This prevents you from having to sell immediately out of the field when prices are historically at their lowest. The Benefit of Timing - Storage allows you to postpone a sale until you secure a better price, usually in the spring. - Previously, miners had to sell Bitcoin every month to cover electricity and operational costs. - This often meant selling during bear markets when prices were unfavorable. BLOC as Digital Storage - Until now, there hasn’t been a reliable way to postpone these sales; we had to accept whatever price the market offered each month. - With a BLOC, we can "store" our Bitcoin, access the cash needed to pay bills, and sell Bitcoin later at a more favorable price. - As long as the Bitcoin price appreciates faster than the cost of capital, this strategy is accretive.

Tell me you're a Bitcoiner without telling me you're a Bitcoiner.
