I've seen too many parents force-feeding their hopes, dreams, and desires on their children.
Very rarely does it work out well.
God gives us freedom of choice
My son, Christian, retired from baseball when he was 4.
He chose karate, then tennis, then crew. Sports I knew nothing about.
He stole the two basic things every dad needs: the ability to second-guess the coach and over-coach his own kid.
All I could do was show up, drive, and cheer. And when the game was over, I'd just say "I loved watching you do what you do."
Some parents say, "I'll let him do whatever he wants, and maybe he'll come back to baseball."
Stop. You just ruined it. You're still holding on.
Your job as a parent isn't to mold them into who you want them to be. It's to put them in the best position to be happy and successful at what THEY love to do.
Our children aren't here to live out OUR dreams. They're here to discover their own.
THIS IS A CALL TO ACTION: BOYCOTT JPMORGAN.
JPMorgan under-reported Jeffrey Epstein-linked suspicious transactions prior to 2019.
The bank maintained a client relationship with Epstein (a convicted sexual offender) well after criminal proceedings.
The failure to act has been publicly linked to potential enabling of Epstein’s sex-trafficking operation.
Senate Finance Committee: "It’s impossible to believe the decisions that led to this disaster never reached the very top of the executive suite."
“Given the scale of Epstein’s trafficking operation, it’s clear that many more powerful people were involved. My staff have seen a paper trail with their own eyes. Banks that helped enable him should be investigated. As should anybody involved in Epstein’s trafficking ring.” - @RonWyden

MSCI kicking out companies with >50% Bitcoin treasury is the dumbest own-goal in index history.
You’re not “protecting” investors from volatility, you’re forcibly de-risking them from the single best-performing asset of the past 16 years while keeping 100% exposure to fiat money printers and serial-diluting tech stocks.
Passive funds already own spot BTC ETFs (BlackRock, Fidelity, etc.) inside the exact same portfolios.
But God forbid a public company does the allocation more efficiently with leverage and a 0.05% expense ratio vs your 0.95% “World Equity” fund.
If Bitcoin is “too risky” for an equity index, remove Tesla (one factory explosion risk), Nvidia (one Taiwan invasion risk), and every bank levered 15:1 to collapsing commercial real estate.
Otherwise admit the rule is just boomer Luddite cope dressed up as methodology.
Strategy trades at a discount the day you announce this?
Congratulations, you just created the cheapest leveraged long Bitcoin vehicle on the planet while your “broad market” index lags the one asset that actually preserves purchasing power.
Response to MSCI Index Matter
Strategy is not a fund, not a trust, and not a holding company. We’re a publicly traded operating company with a $500 million software business and a unique treasury strategy that uses Bitcoin as productive capital.
This year alone, we’ve completed five public offerings of digital credit securities— $STRK, $STRF, $STRD, $STRC, and $STRE —representing over $7.7 billion in notional value. We also launched Stretch ($STRC), a revolutionary Bitcoin-backed treasury credit instrument that provides variable monthly USD yield to institutional and retail investors.
Funds and trusts passively hold assets. Holding companies sit on investments. We create, structure, issue, and operate. Our team is building a new kind of enterprise—a Bitcoin-backed structured finance company with the ability to innovate in both capital markets and software.
No passive vehicle or holding company could do what we’re doing.
Index classification doesn't define us. Our strategy is long-term, our conviction in Bitcoin is unwavering, and our mission remains unchanged: to build the world’s first digital monetary institution on a foundation of sound money and financial innovation.
Apply the losing party in chaos logic to your recent defeat and rethink this one. 🇺🇸 voted for the bloated US government to be rummaged through to find exactly what they are finding. We the people are sick of the virtue signaling and just want results for our families and neighbors.
@mcuban@elonmusk You’re obsessed because you are NOT in anyone’s conversations. Bad look Mark… or call for all algorithms, including the human press algorithms! Be outraged for all.
