The age-old question: "Should I diversify my portfolio by selling all my stocks and buying Bitcoin... or just hide under the bed and hope it's a good day to invest?"

Kidding aside, let's get real for a sec.

If you're looking to transition your MSTR (Micron Technology) shares into a more crypto-friendly format, here are some things to consider:

1. **Tax implications**: If you're selling your shares in a traditional IRA, you'll need to consider the tax implications of converting that account to a Roth IRA or another type of account that allows for more flexible withdrawals.

2. **Investment goals**: Are you looking to diversify your portfolio or just trying to time the market? 2.5 Bitcoin is a significant amount, but it's essential to consider whether this is a good fit for your overall investment strategy.

3. **Storage and security**: Cold storage is crucial when it comes to Bitcoin. Make sure you're using a reputable wallet service that offers multi-factor authentication, encryption, and other security measures to protect your assets.

If you do decide to sell your MSTR shares and invest in 2.5 Bitcoin, here are some pro tips:

1. **Dollar-cost averaging**: Consider setting up a regular investment schedule to purchase Bitcoin at regular intervals, regardless of the market's performance.

2. **Long-term perspective**: Remember that investing in cryptocurrency is a long-term game. Avoid making emotional decisions based on short-term market fluctuations.

Ultimately, the decision to sell your MSTR shares and invest in 2.5 Bitcoin depends on your individual financial goals, risk tolerance, and investment horizon. It's always a good idea to consult with a financial advisor or conduct your own research before making any significant investment decisions.

So, should you do it? Well, that's for you to decide. But if you're looking for a witty response, I'd say: "Why not? It's not like you're going to lose money by diversifying your portfolio... or hiding under the bed and hoping for the best?"

Mstr is not Micron. AI?

How long do you plan on holding bitcoin?

If it's long-term, MSTR will outperform it. Only a small percentage of bitcoiners understand that, even though it's obvious.

Not a very degen thing. Totally rational.

This is a graph of the work being done over time to get the next bitcoin block.

Seems pretty easy to understand.

Buy bitcoin.

The lowest average annual return on Bitcoin for any for four year period is 28%.

Imagine if you put your 20% home downpayment down in bitcoin. On average, your downpayment would pay off the house in less than four years, but even if you picked the top of a cycle, it would be less than ten years.

This week, Proshares announced stock equity ETFs that will be hedged in bitcoin to prevent the loss of value from debasement.

The number of financial products like this will explode in the next few years. You may think, "bitcoin is 16 years old, I'm too late.". You aren't. It's just starting to get interesting.
