oh @CapApp points program is only going to give out the full airdrop to YT holders because "we have to make YT holders whole"?

let's see who is their largest YT buyer.. ah its 0x23d0f8944468F79FB06850c136a0E6B3Ee4a450F! 19m YTs bought over 21-28 dec
which turns out to be "@QiDaoProtocol Working capital account 2" aka founder @Benjamin918_
this is pathetic, you have got to cover your tracks much more thoroughly. i am happy to offer you a lesson for $4.2m cUSD
i typically am only slightly suspicious of projects buying their YTs but basically pocketing the whole airdrop is actually a first
@apyx_fi watch and learn since you have such a massive supply of YTs
ICO committers really just put $ in the @CapApp team's hands (@Benjamin918_ and @defidave, surprised at the latter who i thought was upright, guess not)
For investors:
$STRC looks like a stable, high-yield (~11.5%) asset that trades near its $100 par value.
For the issuer:
It’s a powerful perpetual capital-raising tool.
They raise $100 with no obligation to repay principal,
pay only a variable non-guaranteed dividend,
and use the funds to buy more Bitcoin.
The entire purpose of $STRC is to take money from investors to fuel Strategy’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy, not to give money back via redemptions or heavy price support.
Expecting the company to consistently buy back shares to defend the peg goes against the original design.
It’s flexible funding for them, not a traditional fixed income product for you.

We keep seeing the same mental shortcut in crypto:
"If you're bullish on BTC, you should be bullish on XXX BTC derivatives."
This logic has cost people more Bitcoin than bear markets ever did.
My thought why the cleanest trade is often the one sitting right in front of you:
bitcoin:native
If you believe in Bitcoin, buy spot BTC and hold it.
Not BTCFi.
Not inscriptions.
Not BTC-backed unstable stablecoins.
Not wrapped yield-bearing synthetic versions of wrapped synthetic versions.
Just cold, boring, self-custodied spot BTC.
Here's why the alternatives keep failing the risk/reward test.
We've now run the full cycle on BTC yield strategies:
BTCFi lending → protocol exploits
Inscriptions → liquidity dried up
BTC-backed stables → depeg events
Every single one asked you to take on smart contract risk, operational risk, and counterparty risk...
all for a non-guaranteed yield.
The asymmetry is backwards.
$STRC is not a bond.
It is equity.
There is no guaranteed redemption.
There is no floor.
The only way out is finding someone willing to buy your bag at $90, $80, $70, or $50.
You are handing over your principal,
your scarce, hard-earned Bitcoin exposure
in exchange for a yield promise that can disappear overnight.
The uncomfortable truth:
You don't need to outsmart Bitcoin.
You just need to not lose it.
Every layer between you and your spot BTC is a layer of risk you are being undercompensated for.
Sometimes the alpha is doing nothing.
Not financial advice. DYOR.
Exit Alpha USDC Delta V2 on Morpho immediately! It has 17M exposure to the msY (Main Street Yield) market. This market is fully utilized for a couple of days already, with borrowers paying 100% apy. Strangely, big borrowers aren't repaying. msY is an off-chain strategy that promises 12% doing a 'box spread'. No way to check under the hood here. Take the liquidity and leave, ask questions later.
