Unpopular opinion: #MicroStrategy might wrap itself in enterprise software, but let’s be real….the only reason their stock has any hype is Bitcoin. Bitcoin’s entire power comes from decentralization. No CEOs. No boards. No lobbyists. If you’re riding with MicroStrategy, you’re putting your faith in a centralized corp that plays footsie with the WEF….the VERY parasites Bitcoin was built to reject. Self-sovereignty and censorship resistance? They couldn’t care less.

Bitcoin is about opting out of the broken legacy system, not hitching a ride with corporate stooges. The second you rely on a company with shareholders and boardroom agendas to push the Bitcoin narrative, you’ve already lost the plot. MicroStrategy’s mission? Corporate profits. Period. Not your freedom, not your sovereignty. Betting on them is like hiring a fox to guard the henhouse.

If you’re serious about Bitcoin, stack sats. Be your own bank. Don’t let centralized players like MicroStrategy dictate your financial destiny. Bitcoin is for the people…not corporate interests. Sovereignty means cutting the cord from all of that. If your plan involves some boardroom clown lobbying at the WEF, you’re missing the point.

Bottom line: Not your keys, not your #Bitcoin.

Some of us old timers see it for sure.

The answer is hold your keys.

Period.

Risk of losing your bitcoin🤝"owning" something that increases in bitcoin value

Satoshi eliminated COUNTER PARTY RISK.

Appalled at how many have fallen to the $MSTR. 🥴

mstr and all the etf's exist for one reason - to get 6102'd when the gov freaks out. Bitcoiners should be able to see it coming...

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

I went a little A-Wall on this 😂

His interview with Saife was so cringe it brought out the conspiracy antennae.

It was so bad... But I like to think he's just super aware of who his audience is. Saif's audience is us. Saylor's is powerful people who know usury is what their power is built on.

Maybe it’s ok to stack a bunch of Bitcoin and also put some fiat into MSTR? And maybe eventually sell MSTR gains for more BTC?

Yes but the risk tied to corporate activities is also very real. If Microstrategy gets in trouble for one thing or another, or if something happens to Saylor, it will impact the stock price. MSTR might go down while Bitcoin goes up!

It’s the same thing if you buy miners. If one of them run into regulatory hurdles then the stock price will go down.

You bear additional risk when buying these companies. It’s not necessarily a bad thing as any company you buy shares of has similar risks, but it’s just something to be aware of for “Bitcoin proxy” stocks.

True of holding any stock. But my point is that some are ok with risk of stocks, and holding their Bitcoin in cold storage. It doesn’t have to be an either/or decision.

I think their primary original market was deep analysis of corporate data. Makes me wonder if the Nostr devs could do something to compete with that, go after their bread and butter.

Depends on what YOU want out of your investments. If you have money tied up in an IRA or 401k and your not looking to get popped for pulling it out early, I can't understand why pivoting to $mstr isn't the smart move. I've been holding it since 2020 and glad I've had it!

If someone doesn't want a 401k or IRA and ONLY wants bitcoin, I can get that but bitcoin wasn't around when many of us started investing in these programs.

I like my portfolio quite a bit that includes BTC, MSTR, and quite a miners.

Selling your BTC for MSTR is really dumb. Buying some MSTR with your company sponsored 401K match is not. Always stack your sats to cold storage but don't let your 401K money rot in inflationary fiat index funds.

Totally but great for otherwise shitty work pensions.

This is the same advice Saylor gives funnily enough.
