Asia is getting their btc exposure

We have been living in mandibles for a while. People without bitcoin or proximity to the money printer anyway

I listened to the tftc with jack today. Classic jack, but it was good

The joo in him can’t get over the hard cap and decentralized nature

I cracked up when he called Huberman a dope 😂

Buy in persom

Idk my teeth are pretty scarce

It’s so funny watching their faces as they have to admit they were wrong while still telling you it’s risky and it can’t keep going on lol

Watch the video, they are so salty lol

Bitcoin, MSTR, and MSTY: A Real Estate Analogy for the Digital Age

Picture cyberspace as a vast digital landscape. In this world, Bitcoin is like prime land. It’s scarce (only 21 million coins), secure, and valuable—think of it as owning a plot with an unbreakable deed thanks to the blockchain. There’s no trust needed in a company or middleman; the land’s value stands on its own, free from corporate risk.

Now, imagine building on that land. That’s MSTR (Strategy)—a building constructed on Bitcoin’s foundation. MicroStrategy has piled up Bitcoin, so owning MSTR stock is like owning a share in a high-rise on this digital plot. This isn’t just raw land anymore—it’s got AC, a pool, and modern amenities, adding value beyond the bare asset. The upside? Potential for bigger returns than just holding the land. The catch? You’re trusting the “architects and engineers” (MSTR’s management) to have built it right and the “maintenance crew” (their strategy) to keep it solid. If they mess up, the building could falter, even if the land beneath stays valuable.

Take it a step further with MSTY. Think of MSTY as hiring a property manager for a unit in the MSTR building. For a small fee (the expense ratio), they handle renting it out or use strategies like selling covered calls to generate income. You get the perk of monthly cash flow without lifting a finger. But there’s risk: you’re relying on the manager to do their job well. A bad call—like over-renting or mishandling those covered calls—could limit your gains or cost you, just like a sloppy property manager might tank your unit’s value.

Benefits and Risks

• Bitcoin (The Land)

◦ Benefits: No company risk—just pure, trustless ownership. It’s decentralized and secure, like land with a rock-solid title.

◦ Risks: Price swings, regulatory shifts, or rare tech hiccups (though Bitcoin’s blockchain is battle-tested).

• MSTR (The Building) 🏢

◦ Benefits: More value than plain land—think higher returns from a tricked-out property. MSTR’s Bitcoin stash plus business moves can amplify gains.

◦ Risks: You’re betting on management. If they misstep, the building’s value could drop, even if the Bitcoin land holds strong.

• MSTY (The Managed Unit) 🏠

◦ Benefits: Convenience and steady income—like rent checks without the hassle. The property manager (fund) does the work for you.

◦ Risks: Extra trust in the managers. Their strategies (e.g., covered calls) might cap your upside or backfire, adding a layer of risk for that fee.

The Big Picture

Bitcoin is the bedrock—no frills, no trust issues. MSTR builds on it, offering more value but with corporate strings attached. MSTY manages a piece of that building, giving you income and ease, but at the cost of another layer of reliance.

• Want pure control? Stick to Bitcoin.

• Crave bigger potential with some risk? Try MSTR.

• Prefer passive income and don’t mind extra trust? MSTY’s your pick.

In cyberspace, Bitcoin is the land that never fades. MSTR and MSTY are examples of the potential that can be captured by building on Bitcoin.

I can buy a house, but the opportunity cost in bitcoin terms is too great at the moment. As soon as “owning” is comparable or cheaper than renting then I will be looking to buy. At this point in my life I prioritize achieving financial freedom over owning a home.

Owning a home should not come at the expense of your financial freedom imo

A house is a consumable good that provides utility

The same way owning a car should not come at the expense of building wealth, owning a home should not either

Freedom in this context is owning your time. Owning a shelter without owning your time is a worse trade off for many people than owning your time but not your shelter.

Yep, it’s a utility like a car

Gen Xers also love their “home equity”

To each their own. Value is subjective after all

Ok, perpetual lease with added perks

It makes sense at the right time and when you have a certain amount of wealth. It’s a hard sell if you’re young and building wealth given current environment where we have high rates and bitcoin as the opportunity cost

Rare*

No offense, but you sound like a boomer.

People value things differently. With current interest rates, renting is indisputably a better financial decision, but I grant there are other reasons to own a home and for some people they outweigh the financial downsides.

Because it’s cheaper to rent. And the delta investment in bitcoin or MSTR will outpace the equity in the home

Are you listening to yourself?

They can in fact take it away without due process with eminent domain and civil asset forfeiture, but that’s relatively tare.

‘Owning’ a home is really a perpetual lease.

If you have to keep paying yo keep it it’s not really yours. You own your shoes, your car, your bitcoin, but you don’t really own your property in the US.

It comes down to priorities. I prioritize financial freedom over being able to say I own a home.

The opportunity cost of renting vs buying if you’re not already wealthy is not worth the stability gained imo. And we are not even getting into repairs and maintenance costs. Replacing an AC can cost you over $30k. We are not talking well built brick homes here either.

And you have floods, tornadoes, fires, etc. to worry about too.

Facts

Yeah

I hot you

It makes it more costly to operate a node, which hurts decentralization over time

Everyone wants to turn around their country like ES did, but no one wants to do what it takes

Governments existed before fiat money and involuntary taxes. This is why no one takes libertarians seriously and why they are political losers

The initial conversation was about nations. I said bad governance is not an argument against nations. Don’t twist my words to try to make it seem like I’m defending bad governance. You claim that all governance is inherently evil, so I brought up examples that refute that.

Totally, everyone knows the millions of college graduates applying for visas and citizenship are really after food stamps.

Yes, people that refuse to be politically active and are dissatisfied with their nation should consider leaving. There’s nothing weak about that argument if you don’t conflate nations with governments.

No, probably unlike you, I know politics matters, so I will seek to effect change through politics before considering moving to a foreign nation.
