Noticing lots of salt on twitter about $MSTR.

I think it’s exposing a divide between people who are first gen savers/investors vs. people who come from white collar backgrounds.

Most children of the professional class were taught to minimize tax and take advantage of tax advantaged investment vehicles.

When these types became Bitcoiners they aped their Roths and 401k’s into bitcoin stocks like $MSTR

Those from a blue collar background are more distrustful of institutions and legal structures and so didn’t have any money stuck in retirement accounts to begin with.

So for them no reason to buy $MSTR over spot bitcoin.

When microstrategy started outperforming and people were celebrating on twitter it made the latter group feel salty.

Just an observation. I can get into the specific pros and cons of having a bitcoin retirement account vs not having one if anyone is curious.

There are pros and cons for both sides.

I literally have my MSTR set for market sell on open today. Price is too good of a trade to swap it for real corn now.

People on twiter can’t even be happy both are doing good lmao

lol they’re addicted to airing grievances

Fuck it. I'm all good just holding #Bitcoin. To each their own.

Dude… 🎯

Very curious on your thoughts on a Bitcoin IRA (unchained) vs a Fidelity IRA. Currently have a Fidelity IRA and have been considering switching to unchained for the sole purpose that I could unilaterally exit in the case nuclear bombs start going off in the United States and all I can get out of the country with is my self custodial Bitcoin. What are the cons to doing this?

Bro if nuclear bombs go off you aren’t going anywhere lol the obvious large pro with a bitcoin spot IRA product is that you have actually bitcoin instead of paper bitcoin. The big con would be reporting requirements and fees.

I think it is more the investors of 60 - 40 portfolio seeing first hand the reality that we all live in a ponzi scheme and for them this is their paradigm shift. They are realising what most bitcoiners did when they read their first investment book and understood what a PE ratio is and understood everything is fucked xD.

The risk is holding MSTR and not being able to get bitcoin when it becomes unavailable.

People seem to think they’re mutually exclusive as well. If you have cash/equities in a trad brokerage why not pickup some MSTR? It’s a levered bitcoin proxy.

My cold bitcoin won’t be touched this decade and the equities will pay for a house.

Am I still a bitcoiner? I’ve been stacking for 6 years. Don’t hate the player.

Agreed. I think MSTR is just a higher time preference BTC play. (Anniversary, travel, kid adventures etc.) Much of us are here for our kids. Taking some cuck bucks off the table for the family when children are young, you can’t get that time back for experiences. Value is subjective and we all have a different time preference.

Similar plan for myself. Benefits to having some in brokerage for when I actually want to improve my life.

MSTR is the trap, the trap that will push people into more regulations and compliance.

COMPLIANCE IS WHAT WILL KILL BITCOIN.

I have a retirement account where I couldn't buy bitcoin and MSTR was the next best thing. I also own bitcoin in a cold wallet.

I don't feel bad about either choice and it doesn't bother me if someone else is.

Bitcoin is for enemies, but also friends with slightly different views.

I would bet Saylor has an exit strategy geographically for a 6102 attack, but he would never admit it publicly.

More adoption is better than less adoption.

mstr has been the best probably the best tradfi investment you could do. at current premium and them abusing leverage i would be llooking at selling (for btc) asap
