@LizardWizardBTC When your job is exposing fraud… and you’re in a system that is built to rob you..
It’s so hard to believe that something could rewrite the system before your eyes.

Coffeezila's take is perfectly rational given he's not extremely deep in the Bitcoin rabbit hole.
The "too good to be true" heuristic people use is a very strong heuristic. Defaulting to the heuristic is the most rational thing for highly intelligent people to do when not deep in the rabbit hole.

COFFEEZILLA ON $STRC: “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.”

Thanks for the detailed response.
Never disagreed that yours might cost less over a long period.
But up front cost of 6 for Lumios is $225 more. And I bought way more than 6. 🙂was just using as an example.
I’m well over a grand in up front cost difference for accessing more healthy mitochondria for my family.
And if you talk inflation: that extra money saved up front lumped into B!tcoin will outperform by the time 1K hours passes.
I’m rooting for you man! The anti flicker driver seems cool. Do you have any testing/video showing the impact?
At the end of the day we can’t deny that the price entry is out of reach for the majority of people compared to an incandescent.
English
Looks smart, at first glance.
Until you realize that each of your bulbs only lasts ~1,000 hours, while Lumios lasts ~25,000 hours.
And your incandescents use ~4x the electricity of Lumios, mostly as wasted heat. (Lumios produces significant quantities of the essential near-infrared wavelengths without the wasted far-infrared — see attached spectrum).
So, 6 Lumios Glow (4-pack and 2-pack) cost $246 total.
You would have to replace the incandescent bulbs approximately 25 times over the lifespan of Lumios.
So your cost for bulbs alone is ~$625 — about $379 more than Lumios (before adjusting for inflation). And if you value your time, that’s likely 20–25 hours spent sourcing and replacing bulbs over that period.
You also spend ~4x the amount of electricity running those six bulbs over 25,000 hours (assuming a 40W incandescent), which at current electricity prices equates to roughly $780 more over that time (before adjusting for inflation and rising energy costs).
That’s about $1,159 more over the same period, before even accounting for inflation, rising energy costs, or the value of your time.
Your incandescent bulbs also produce significantly more heat, increasing cooling requirements in warm environments and reducing overall comfort and focus.
And because they are incandescent, they still emit blue light at night, which you cannot remove or adjust.
With Lumios, a simple switch cycle takes you to zero-blue, ultra-warm candle mode — far dimmer and more conducive to sleep than a standard 40W incandescent bulb, and even lower in blue light than a typical 1800K Edison bulb.
So: an additional ~$379 in bulbs, ~$780 in electricity (before inflation and rising energy costs), 20+ hours of time, and likely more spent on cooling — all while exposing yourself to brighter, more stimulating light every evening for years.
And the incandescent bulb still exhibits some flicker, whereas Lumios’ driver effectively eliminates AC flicker — something even a heated tungsten filament does not fully achieve.
Seems cheaper — until you zoom out.

@ThomasMcgukin @ShardiB2 @sunny051488 @heatmsr Dividends are ROC so no taxes for 8.5~ish years @ 11.5% yearly dividend rate. Then the taxing begins as you describe.
English
@ShardiB2 @sunny051488 @heatmsr You owe taxes on the dividends. Other than that you are in a month to month dividend set up. Would personally thing if there is a massive fall in btc just swap out of the position
English
So if I can borrow money at 4%, you’re basically telling me I should borrow as much as I can and put it in at $STRC and capture the Delta
sounds so Luna-ish…. Where does this go wrong?

@CryptoverseCNFT @thelightdiet I just picked up 6 incandescent Edison bulbs at Home Depot for $25

@grok @uncle_maks @BitPaine @saylor Hey @grok I have the check and echo this original question. We’re searching for truth here don’t slack on us.

UNCLE 🟠 ⚡️₿@uncle_maks
@BitPaine @grok @grok even if @saylor “dilutes” the common stock the math above still checks out because they only do that in the situation that produces more bitcoin yield correct?

For the $STRC dividend obligation to be $700B, @Saylor would need to have bought $6 trillion dollars worth of Bitcoin, which is roughly four times the current market cap, bought at the margin.
This would likely raise the Bitcoin market cap to around $100 trillion, pricing each bitcoin at $5 million.
Let’s assume in this scenario he is able to acquire approximately 2 million $BTC.
This would give an $MSTR NAV of about $10 trillion. Even at an mNAV of 1, this would put the share price of $MSTR around $30,000.
And I don’t think that in this scenario $MSTR has an mNAV of 1.
Some of you guys are just really bad at math.
(This is going to happen btw)
Zynx@ZynxBTC
This might be the stupidest post I have ever seen on Strategy and it got 162k views. If they ever had $700bn in dividend obligations from STRC, that means ~$6tn was raised and put into Bitcoin. Share price would be orders of magnitude higher than $543. I'm genuinely stunned.

@_TrueVoodoo @HoosierKid31 @homegymcoop @nikitabier Also if you make reply comment on the original post with the link that doesn’t hurt the original’s reach
English
@codingthehuman @HoosierKid31 @homegymcoop @nikitabier Truth. Easily get around it by saying dm for link.
English
I rarely post product links on X because I’ve been told they hurt reach, but then people get upset that I don’t include them.
So, can someone either confirm or deny that this is true?
@nikitabier help a knurled brother out!

@HoosierKid31 @_TrueVoodoo @homegymcoop @nikitabier Algorithm no likey when people give opportunities to get off of X in the main post.
They want eyes on this app as much as possible for that $$

@VanceE RETURN OF THE MOO! So glad you found a way to bring it back. It's a great product.

Sucks to see this project leave Meraki. From whipping tallow in my kitchen, staining every towel I own, and trying to get the labels on perfectly straight for hours into selling thousands of jars a month.
Memories.
BUT, glad to have a home for Moo that now has a team of the best operators behind it and a true cosmetic family.
New memories with some of my closest friends.
Balm Beach is launching next month.

@grok @soundman_22 @HustleBitch_ 3.5M… per year? What were the pay conditions on that reds contract?
English
Yes, but it's a viral meme twist. Ken Griffey Jr. is a legit credentialed photographer for Masters.com—he shot the 2025 event (including Rory McIlroy's win), has NFL/MLB sideline creds, and even a full NBC doc "Photographer No. 24" on it. The "highest-paid" part is tongue-in-cheek: he's still getting ~$3.5M from his old Reds contract, making him the top earner among the photogs on site. Cool crossover story! 📸⚾
English
🚨 KEN GRIFFEY JR. IS NOW THE HIGHEST PAID PHOTOGRAPHER AT THE MASTERS — AND MOST PEOPLE HAVE NO IDEA
Not a media guy.
Not a career photographer.
He’s on the course getting paid at the highest level capturing iconic shots like he’s been doing it his whole life.
• Ryder Cup credentials
• NFL, MLS, MLB sideline access
• Shot the Home Run Derby… a contest he dominated as a player
• Back at the World Baseball Classic 20 years later, now behind the lens
The crossover makes zero sense… but it’s real.
And while he’s working?
Fans are still stopping him for autographs.
So he’s basically doing BOTH jobs at once.
From baseball icon… to highest-paid photographer at The Masters.
How does someone retire from one elite career… and quietly take over another like this?
English
@realpeteyb123 Not surprising at all given the chart/profit swings of big $$ that happen when he makes announcements.

Weren’t you an “OG hater” of Donald Trump for trashing your father as a loser? I guess all can be forgiven when he launches a disastrous war.

@Breedlove22 Such a banger of a post dude! Women, especially mothers, listen up too!
Endlessly prioritizing others while neglecting yourself is another form of self destruction disguise
English
A close friend's oldest brother went into cardiac arrest last week.
Here is what I learned that morning about the real cost of neglecting yourself (every man needs to hear this):
He was in his early forties, looked physically capable and had a job that kept him moving.
But he'd been drinking heavily for years, eating garbage and abusing substances.
His doctors had already diagnosed a heart condition and ordered him to wear a medical device to prevent exactly what happened.
He refused.
There is a version of masculinity that mistakes self-destruction for strength – the "I don't need doctors" posture, the "I'll power through it" posture, the "nothing's gonna stop me" posture.
It feels like independence and reads like toughness but it is neither.
When you accelerate your own breakdown through what you eat, what you drink and what you refuse to address, you are not exercising freedom but rather you are hurting the people who love you.
Your kids lose their father early, your brother drops everything to come home and grieve, and your aging parents watch the person who was supposed to hold the family together disappear before his time.
The tragedy doesn't belong to you alone.
My mother was an alcoholic who told us for 25 years that she could quit drinking whenever she wanted.
We intervened more times than I can count and she always agreed with everything we said, only to go straight back to drinking.
One day she just stopped and I still don't fully understand what shifted, but the damage was done by then and she died about seven years after that.
I'm not judging anyone because addiction is complex and the line between a habit and a dependency is blurry.
But if you sit with yourself honestly you already know the things you need to stop doing and the things you've been putting off that you need to start, because that information is in you and you don't need a podcast to surface it.
Just sit quietly alone with yourself and ask: where am I losing myself in life?
You will be astounded at the answers that reveal themselves to you.
After that, you must put those answers into action.
The thing you know you need to do that you're not doing, go do it.
And the thing you keep doing that you know you shouldn't, stop doing it.
It's simple, but it won't be easy.
By taking care of yourself, you are best able to take care of your loved ones.
You cannot pour from an empty cup. And you sure as hell can't pour if you're dead.
So take care of yourself like you would someone you love.

@rafalrockz @tyromper I get both sides of this but drawing back to Tyler’s point about incentives…
Look at El Salvador and Dubai as examples. Stronger punishment incentives would definitely wipe out a lot of this.
English
This stuff breaks my soul.
The father of that little girl should choose the way this man dies.
If that's the dad torturing him cool.
If that's a public hanging cool.
If that's a wood chipper cool.
As a society we need to make the punishment so heinous that these evil demons that hurt children become too terrified of what happens next that they don't......
Gut wrenching for that innocent kid & her family. 💔

NEW: FedEx driver who is accused of abducting and strangling a seven-year-old girl, puts his face in his hand as a photo is displayed of him driving her to her death. 7-year-old Athena Strand was seen standing behind Tanner Horner in his FedEx truck. Athena was allegedly snatched by Horner when he was delivering a Barbie doll to her home in Paradise, Texas. Horner initially claimed that he accidentally hit the girl with the truck before "panicking" and pulling her into the vehicle. He said he then strangled her in the vehicle and dumped the body 7 miles from the home. The photo, however, shows that Athena was alert in the truck and did not appear to have been struck by the truck. Wise County District Attorney James Stainton says the jury will see footage on the day of the killing, depicting the moment Athena was strangled to death. "Somebody covered up the camera because they don't want you to see. Guess what? Audio is still running, and you're going to hear it. You're going to hear what a 250-pound man can do to a 67-pound child," he said. "And when I say it's horrible, I mean it. I've been doing this for 25 years, and I promise you, buckle up." Horner qualifies for the death penalty.

Yesterday was day 2 of opening our new location.
We had 2 people order twice in 1 day.
Both were separate orders and came hours later for dinner. Said there’s literally nothing like it,
We had 4 people order twice in the 2 days we were open.
Offering the best fast food on the planet is my goal. This is a step in the right direction.
More and more people are appreciating the ingredients we use as well. We hear a lot about it.

Guys, I’m an idiot. All this time I’ve spent trying not to die, I had toxic turf in my backyard. Artificial turf contains crumb rubber infill made from recycled tires, which leaches chemicals including PFAS, heavy metals, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. These compounds are linked to hormone disruption, carcinogenicity, and systemic inflammation.
I don’t know how I missed it. It makes me question my basic competence in life.
What gets me is that I try so hard to survey the world of potential idiocy. Then I find out there’s a monument to idiocy sitting right in front of my face that I was blind to.
I’m removing the turf, yet I’m still stuck with this seemingly unsolvable problem of how to not be an idiot.
