At current prices, if $MSTR decided to fund the entire $STRC dividend by selling bitcoin:native, it would have to sell ~1500 bitcoin per month to do so.

$MSTR acquired a net ~171,200 bitcoin:native year-to-date (843,746 total) which is 10 years (43 years total) at the above pace, assuming no bitcoin price appreciation, no equity sales, and no change to the dividend.

People hyperventilating about @saylor are simply innumerate.

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video.

Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments.

The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times.

Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it.

Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone.

The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

My brief $MSTR thesis is that, this is an unprecedented opportunity to own an irreversible Monopoly of an operating company that will be the largest holder of Bitcoin forever, and can also own anything else it wants in the long term. As far as the product, it is my strongest conviction that $STRC will eat the world as it is most aligned with the human condition and has the largest room for disruption via TAM expansion. STRC’s success may create a self fulling Long Squeeze on the price of bitcoin. No other company on Earth has the benefit of optionality in the way that @Strategy does. No other company on Earth has a more talented & ambitious team of Executives than Saylor and Long Phong. No other company is more transparent, yet clearly not well understood at large.

My brother in Christ.

In 1980 the home price to income ratio was 3.6x, now it’s 5x

In 1980 a degree cost 15% of the average annual income, today it’s 58%

In 1980 child care cost 7% of the median household income, now it’s 19%

In 1980 health care cost 10% the median household income, now it’s 21%

In 1980 the average car payment for a new car was 6% of the median household income, now it’s 13%

These are national averages, and not some anecdotal personal experience.

Idk why it’s so hard for people to do a little good faith research and just admit that life’s necessities are exponentially more expensive now than when they were young adults. It’s a crazy level of pride, arrogance and denial.

"Life speeds up after 25 - Every year goes by faster & faster"

While this CAN be true...few realize it's 100% optional

There is a way to dramatically:

> slow down time perception
> Ride an upward spiral of AWE & Bliss
> Experience 100x more novel stimuli than you would when in your default state of mind

(Even if you're in a place you've been 10,000x before)

What is the default state of mind?

It's subtly projecting a "known" past onto the unknowable present

Tangibly this feels like that dull "this shit again" adult creep that makes life feel dissatisfying

This is a PROCESS that activates whenever we're not actively tuning into the present moment

A process that creates TENSION in the body

It feels like being in a constant state of "wanting to get to the other side" of w/e you're doing

The sad truth is that most live in this state until they die

The problem is if you "know" the world - Nothing's novel anymore

Nothing feels fresh, new or exciting

You are, in essence, day-dreaming 24/7 by projecting the known world onto "what is" in this moment

This is an understandable thing to do - As pretty much everyone does it...

But when you really look at it - You realize there's a staggering amount of ASSUMPTION that goes into this

And it takes EFFORT to maintain this day-dream illusion of "knowing"

Example:

I was sat in a restaurant a few years back

My daughter had just been born

My wife and I were tired as hell

I was in a slightly muddled state

I was rushing through my meal

Waiting to get home

Suddenly I notice this process going on

I recognize that I'm living in this state of "assumption"

And I let go & See clearly

As if looking for the very first time

All of a sudden not only is there this beautiful flow of energy in the body

Because I'm not longer unconsciously activating the process of projecting known past on onto unknowable present

But there's a sense of complete AWE at the restaurant I'm now in

Everything looks insanely HD, bright, colorful...even mystical

There's this "humming aliveness" coming from all things

I literally tear up at the sheer beauty of this moment

Even as I'm sat here now - Typing this - The feeling of my fingers touching the keys is completely novel to me

Even blissful

To notice the feeling of breath in my nostrils...

To feel the cool air in the room

All of this is incredibly FRESH

That same kind of feeling you get when visiting a foreign country & walking around

You're naturally more present - Naturally more in your senses

It's like you get a forced leveling up in your degree of PRESENCE/mindfulness

But you can literally have this WHENEVER & WHERE EVER

All you have to give up is the illusion that you know wtf is going on

And learn to somatically "switch off" that process by simply:

> relaxing
> tuning into your senses
> looking around as if seeing for the first time

(You are)

> immerse yourself in your sensory experience
> notice how pleasurable this is
> notice how paying attention to the pleasure starts to increase it's intensity
> keep immersing yourself in this experience

Congrats - You just figured out how to ride an upward spiral of beauty, awe and aliveness

(instead of a downward spiral of misery, self-obsession & anxiety)

Eventually - Because it's so habitual - You'll switch back into past projection mode

That's fine - The option to come back into freshness & awe is always here

And I promise you - When you "get" how to do this...

You'll experience 1000x more novel stimuli in one hour than you would in 10 years of living on autopilot mode

I have no idea how this changes your brain & biology

I can tell you with absolute certainty though that this leads to a way of living that eclipses even the awe you felt in childhood

And turns life from a dull, mundane chore...

To a divine miracle unfolding

1700s: "Vegetables and porridge are what the starving eat."

1970s: "Plants should be the BASE of the pyramid. This is science."

1990s: "Plant-based is emerging as extremely healthy, actually."

2010s: "Plant-based is optimal. Meat is the problem."

You: noticing that the diet currently being sold as enlightened and optimal is the same one every ruling class in recorded history fed to the people it was trying to keep weak, compliant, and grateful.
