@BitcoinArchive Priced in- who needs $MSCI. Bitcoin will make them look foolish when all the companies holding Bitcoin on balance sheet outpace everyone on the list.
They should but the generations who have “savings accounts” aren’t in the market. I argue with my FIL about his CD’s and savings accounts earning less than 2% yield. He brags about his paid off house and cash at 70 but still doesn’t have enough to fully retire. I have more than him at 45 but because it’s risky BTC he doesn’t count it.
What would America look like if 55 million Visas were cancelled?
If 55 million visas were cancelled overnight, America would change in ways few could imagine.
At first it would look chaotic. Hospitals short on nurses. Tech firms unable to staff support teams. Crops left to rot because migrant labor vanished. For a few months, the headlines would scream collapse. But then something else would happen.
Wages would climb. Trades and apprenticeships would surge. Colleges that depended on foreign tuition would close, but community colleges would thrive again as Americans re-trained. Housing prices in major cities would fall for the first time in decades. Renters would finally have leverage. Families that were priced out could buy homes again.
The GDP might dip at first, but the money would start circulating locally. People who thought they’d never matter in the economy would suddenly be needed again. The country would remember how to build, grow, fix, and teach without importing labor. It wouldn’t be easy, but it would be ours.

@KinggTrades My numbers to start repositioning from $MSTR are much higher than 500 and 1000. As long as $STRC gets back to par and the flywheel keeps turning I’ll stay in $MSTR for the amplification.
