.@Jamieminer, how much are you willing to bet MSTR gets dropped from MSCI? You said you did all the math and that they're staying in. Put some money up. I’ll give you action.
Fred: Buy bitcoin
TheDumbGreek: Man I hate this Fred guy
Treasury cabal: Buy MTSR/ASST/STRC/SATS/SATA and our $100/mo subscriptions. Also the Greek is a dumbass loser.
TheDumbGreek: Finally, a family that accepts me
A conversation with @jvisserlabs on why everyone giving up on crypto is doing so at exactly the wrong time.
We discuss the dot-com bubble comparisons, why Bitcoin is not a simple liquidity trade anymore, using China's ghost cities as a model, how the crypto & Ai trade are linked, and what this next phase will look like...

.@JohnReedStark and I discussed this before the election: a blue wave could have pushed the CFTC toward investigating prediction markets, adding regulatory headwinds.
Funny how @TNorth's chart leaves out XCCC (16.2% YTM) and BIZD (12.3% TTM). Both beat STRC/STRK/STRF. That's not a premium, it's cherry picking.
Their "traditional" side conveniently topped out at 7.1%.

@StockMKTNewz
A vulnerability (worse_query) affecting iOS 26.7.1, 27.0.1, and 27.2 allows malicious apps to read local files from other apps, putting seed phrases, private keys, and login credentials at risk across the entire ecosystem. This is an iOS-level issue, not unique to Binance.
Immediate Action Required:
- Delete any apps installed from untrusted sources (such as sideloaded or manually signed IPAs).
- Update iOS and all apps to the latest official versions.
- If you suspect a breach, transfer funds to a new wallet created on a clean device and reset all active login sessions.
Never install unauthorized packages, and keep your software up to date.
