JUST IN: Coffeezilla publishes video taking on Bitcoin believer Michael Saylor & Strategy's $STRC. Coffee says Saylor's STRC preferred-stock pitch is too simple & the risks are not properly explained. "It's been compared to the iPhone. It's been compared to a Ponzi scheme." "You put in your money. They say they're going to yield about 11.5% per year. That's basically double digit returns which is just mind-blowing" "What is the problem with that? Well ultimately... the company has no obligation to pay you back. Why haven't people realized this?" "My entire problem is that they're leading people like a pied piper with this kind of ludicrous idea. Their pitch is of a money market and a bank - When that's just not what this is. This is a snowball of yield."





Guess the ₿ank.

$MSTR announces the formation of a $1.44 billion USD Reserve and an increase in its BTC Reserve to 650,000 $BTC.



S&P JUST DOWNGRADED TETHER TO “WEAK” The $184 billion backbone of crypto markets is one crash away from insolvency. The math is devastating: Bitcoin holdings: 5.6% of reserves Safety buffer: 3.9% Read that again. The volatile asset exceeds the cushion meant to absorb its fall. S&P’s exact words: A decline in bitcoin’s value “could lead to USDT being undercollateralized.” This is not speculation. This is a major credit rating agency stating in plain language that the instrument 500 million people use as their dollar—from Lagos to Manila to Caracas—cannot survive the kind of drawdown bitcoin has delivered multiple times in its history. The backstory makes it worse: New York Attorney General found Tether was fully backed only 27.6% of days examined during a 26-month period. The CFTC fined them $41 million for claiming dollar backing while holding “non-fiat financial products.” They didn’t reform. They grew. USDT quadrupled since those settlements. Now S&P confirms: No asset segregation in insolvency. No full audit—ever. Custodians and counterparties remain undisclosed. High-risk assets climbed from 17% to 24% of reserves in twelve months. Tether’s response? CEO Paolo Ardoino says they wear S&P’s “loathing with pride.” The implications: USDT processes $100 billion daily. It is the circulatory system of crypto. A de-peg doesn’t just hurt Tether holders—it paralyzes the infrastructure through which most cryptocurrency trading occurs. The emerging market users holding USDT as their only dollar savings have no idea this rating exists. The century’s largest unregulated dollar experiment just received its first official verdict. The market will deliver the second. Read the full deep dive article here - 👇 open.substack.com/pub/shanakaans…

When you reach a stage in life where you have no bank interest to pay, no VC demanding returns, no public company expecting strong quarterly reports, no income that requires your labour and nothing left to buy, your focus naturally shifts from wealth creation to lower risk wealth preservation. But for me, wealth preservation is only one bucket. I live in service: all wealth must carry spiritual energy, because not all wealth is equal. If our Creator blesses us with abundance, then our money should also boycott systems that violate our creators guidance. For me, Bitcoin in self-custody is the ultimate boycott. Bitcoiners like me dislike the phase where Bitcoin becomes a Wall Street tool through their custody, shares and collateralised lending services. We fight back with self-custody. I choose to stay, fight, educate others from my lessons and avoid the financial weapons of mass destruction that come from the Proof-of-Weapons Network. Rotation is healthy—a higher cost basis means more people committed to holding through the storm. Once you reach the billions, more billions have diminishing returns if you are truly free. Many billionaires are not free—their wealth is tied to Wall Street, and once you enter that mafia, they never let you go. Some of the wealthiest people in the world are slaves to Wall Street. It’s a personal choice. I choose to continue to boycott the Proof-of-Weapons Network with Proof of Work. I understand why others choose to exit. In my opinion. wealth can be taken by our creator if we don’t do good with the wealth our creator gives us. Good is often not easy.
