"Yes, it is true that BlackRock owns 8% of MicroStrategy, and that MicroStrategy currently owns 152,800 BTC. This means that BlackRock indirectly owns a portion of MicroStrategy's BTC holdings.
BlackRock's investment in MicroStrategy was made in February 2022, and it is possible that they are indirectly buying BTC through this investment. However, it is also possible that they are simply investing in MicroStrategy for other reasons, such as its growth potential or its leadership in the enterprise Bitcoin space.
Only BlackRock knows for sure what their intentions are, but the fact that they own a significant stake in MicroStrategy means that they are likely to be closely watching the company's BTC holdings. If MicroStrategy continues to buy BTC, it is possible that BlackRock will also increase their investment in the company.
It is also worth noting that BlackRock is not the only major institution that is investing in MicroStrategy. In recent months, other large investors, such as Capital International Investors and Fidelity Investments, have also increased their stakes in the company. This suggests that there is a growing interest in Bitcoin among institutional investors, and that BlackRock is not alone in its belief that BTC has the potential to be a valuable asset."

In the future #Bitcoins will be sold in auctions instead of exchanges
No one knows :(
It is difficult to buy, but it is definitely possible to accumulate over a long period of time #DCA

Boggles my mind how so many people can fall for such a blatant scam.

Human greed is endless

There was no antidote in my day.

Details are also important

No more #DCA when #BTC price rises above 30k. Once the price reaches 50k I will start a reverse until I reach 30% cash and 70% BTC. What do you think?
Laivo dugno dažymas ir pirmos klaidos. Neišmaišėm pakankamai gerai dažų, todėl teko pirkti naujus dažus ir vėl viską perdažyti. Čia yra dažai kurie sukrenta į gumulą per tam tikrą laiką ir prieš dažant reikia labai, labai gerai išmaišyti. #Jotun
