@saylor BTC backed loans have repayments and interest, is there an alternative model to be explored?

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@saylor Incredible speech!

I had a thought regarding STRC.

If I were a BTC maxi and my wealth was in BTC I would need to sell my BTC which a BTC maxi would never do to access STRC and get to eat my cake before the 20-30 years. While incurring CGT.

Possible solution?

@saylor I think @maxkeiser is doing something similar with housing in El Salvador.

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@saylor Would a treasury company be able to hold the btc and provide similar or higher returns?

The MSTR bitcoin balance sheet would grow, the selling would decrease and the torque would increase.

The 10% monthly income and the underlying assets appreciation.

Four years ago today, MicroStrategy adopted #Bitcoin as its primary treasury reserve asset; since then $MSTR has outperformed 499 of 500 stocks in the S&P 500.

🚨MASSIVE BREAKING🚨

EXCLUSIVE FOOTAGE REVEALS PANIC WITHIN GERMAN GOVERNMENT OVER BITCOIN SALES

Look, bro. #Bitcoin is a mathematical inevitability, not a mere investment. You are guaranteed to get rich - barring a black swan like someone breaking BTC encryption. I wouldn’t waste time worrying about that anymore than asteroid collisions. The only real threat? Your own impatience.

You just have to have the iron resolve to HODL beyond a few weeks. I’ve never encountered an easier way to build wealth that doesn’t require deep knowledge & experience in markets. Whether it takes a year or 5 years, you will get filthy rich just holding as much BTC as you can. The difference between $70K & $50K will appear indistinguishable between the way you now perceive the difference between $7 & $5 from the past.

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

MicroStrategy has acquired an additional 11,931 BTC for ~$786.0M using proceeds from convertible notes & excess cash for ~$65,883 per #bitcoin. As of 6/20/24, $MSTR hodls 226,331 $BTC acquired for ~$8.33B at average price of $36,798 per bitcoin.https://t.co/jE9dGqqnON

@jackmallers @DanielaCambone Bravo 👏

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@jackmallers @CarolineHydeTV @EdLudlow @BloombergTV Superb as always 👏 the Bitcoin community is lucky to have you!

[Jack Mallers @jackmallers]

Why the SEC pivot?

Because banks get crushed being forced to buy negative real yielding bonds. Selling #Bitcoin and now “Crypto” ETFs help them to monetize insane debt levels and inflation.

Banks call the shots, not government.

In the end, there is #Bitcoin and everything else

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@poorscousertom Tory or Labour, left or Right it doesnt really matter. The apples rotten at the core (fiat money) a couple of people have already mentioned it. Your looking to try and repair a fucked house when the foundations are made of jelly. There is a solution but it requires some homework

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@luke_broyles @GuyTalksFinance The bitcoin price at the end 😂👌 this one is going to sting in a few years

[Michael Saylor @saylor]

You do not sell your #Bitcoin.

[Calum Gilmartin @CalumGilmartin]

@stackhodler 👏👏👏

[Stack Hodler @stackhodler]

There's a lot of Bitcoiners who still don't know what Number Go Up Technology feels like.

When #Bitcoin enters price discovery mode your net worth will teleport to levels that once seemed like fantasy.

You may think you enjoyed the +94% gains over the past year...

But regaining previous levels is never as satisfying as blasting into new territory.

$100K .. $250K ... $500K .... $750K ..... $1 Million

Bitcoin can warp reality.

You earn those moments by stacking through the bear market when everyone else is laughing at BTC.

But truthfully a price pump is a double-edged sword.

Daily new All-Time-Highs give you strong hits of fleeting dopamine.

Dopamine that is hard to match until the next ATH.

You'll waste tons of time watching charts, hoping to catch a glimpse of a new ATH.

Sure it's exciting to watch the birth of a new global store of value...

But it's pathetic how much time it can make you waste if you aren't careful (guilty 🙋)

Plus you'll never look at earning money the same way.

Imagine making your annual salary in a single day.

Why trade your finite time for money if you can make multiples of that money without the drudgery?

We aren't meant to sit idle all day, but you'll suddenly be faced with the challenge of finding something you want to work on.

So with the halving approaching, it's time to mentally prepare for the next bull run.

None of this is financial advice. But create a plan.

1. Figure out your financial goals.
You might want to: Pay off all your debt, retire your spouse, explore the world in a van, backpack through Asia, buy a stone house on a Greek island, invest in high-growth startups, etc.

You get to choose.

But establish your true values now before the bull run tricks you into thinking you need a $20 million mansion, a fleet of supercars, and other things that won't bring true fulfillment.

2. Determine how much you need to make those goals a reality.

Put a dollar figure on it.

Know exactly how much your dream living situation costs, and then calculate the BTC price that would unlock that for you.

Do that calculation with just a portion of your stack.

If you sell everything, prepare to live with heavy amounts of regret.

3. Decide now if you're going to hodl through another cycle, or if you're going to trade some BTC for life gains.

Bitcoin isn't true wealth.

True wealth is your health, the time you spend with your family, the experiences you enjoy with friends, peace of mind for you and your loved ones, and daily purpose.

Bitcoin can help you get those things.

But it isn't those things.

Bitcoin's value fluctuates in the short term.
In the long term it's very likely to go up.

If you sell, you need to be comfortable with the idea that you'll likely never regain the same level of BTC.

Which means you should only trade your BTC for things that you can be sure you'll still value 10, 20, or 80 years from now.

Figure all of this out now while things are still relatively calm and you can think clearly.

When the bull run comes, stick to your plan without getting swept up in emotion.

My goal this bull run is to be more present in the real world.

The numbers on the screen will fluctuate.

But time only moves in one direction.
