If bitcoin doesn't remain freedom money, MSTR/STRC goes to zero.

Building financilized bitcoin is great, but it all breaks down without a ungovernable and uncensorable base layer.

[One America News @OANN]

Former IRS Special Agent @josephbanister explains why he hasn’t paid taxes since 1998—alleging that the IRS has been engaged in fraud for decades and needs to be investigated.

“Since I was a link in the chain of putting people in prison over the income tax, I felt that I had to absolutely speak up about it… You would absolutely find computer fraud that the IRS has engaged in on a daily basis for decades.”

THE MAN WHO BEAT THE IRS

I sat down with Joe Banister — a former IRS Criminal Investigator who once carried a badge and gun.
What he discovered while reading the actual tax code and Supreme Court rulings completely changed his life.
He found that the federal income tax most Americans pay rests on a surprisingly fragile legal foundation.
When he raised his findings with his superiors, they didn’t want to discuss it — they told him to stop reading the law and forced him out.
Then the IRS came after him with felony charges.
Joe took it all the way to trial… and won.

You've probably never heard this before, but the clearest sign of $MSTR's value prop is in the raging debate over the CLARITY Act.

It's crazy because both sides of the biggest congressional debate in modern history are completely ignorant to economic reality.

Let me explain.

The central conflict of CLARITY is between banks and stablecoin issuers. Stablecoins want to pay yield, because they are after all backed by US T-bills. Passing some of the yield gets them more users and more business.

Banks dislike the obvious competition this would cause for their business model. They know that stablecoins already move money much more efficiently. If stablecoins paid yield too, there would be even less reason to ever use a bank. So banks are pushing heavily against stablecoins bearing yield.

So the heart of the conflict is really about an instrument with stable USD value that generates meaningful returns for the end user. If such a thing existed, it would clearly disrupt everything. Incumbents and newcomers are battling to decide the future.

People on both sides of the debate act like this is an open question that needs to be resolved by policy.

Both sides are wrong.

The debate already has been resolved, but it was resolved in a sly roundabout way that neither side has yet to realize.

It was resolved 8 months ago.

@Strategy issued $STRC in July 2025. This is a perpetual preferred security that uses a monthly dividend adjustment to hold its market price near par value of $100. So far, the peg has been largely stable, with some instability at times of large bitcoin downside volatility. I fully expect volatility to come down as the asset matures (that goes for both bitcoin and STRC).

STRC pays 11.5%. Almost 4x most HYSA. This rate will come down as adoption improves but probably stay meaningfully above the 3 month T-bill (and thus higher than any HYSA or stablecoin that is backed by T bills). ~$3.5 billion of STRC exists today. For reference, it took $USDC over 2 years to get to that size.

The remarkable thing is that STRC already is a yield bearing stablecoin, of sorts. You'll never hear Strategy call it that because stablecoins are supposed to have T-bill reserves and Strategy holds BTC, overcollateralized.

The very fact that there is a gridlock between stablecoins and banks over yield on cash while a Nasdaq 100 company just went ahead and compliantly and legally did it using the preferred equity markets is already a huge indication of how innovative Strategy really is.

The next move is to turn STRC into the bedrock of global savings. Imagine completely stripping away the volatility of STRC, while creating liquidity 24/7, while passing off most yield. STRC would become the base asset for a new class of financial products that pay a high yield while gaining the instant portability of digital money.

And this is all happening at this very moment. A handful of projects are already working on this. Completely and legally sidestepping the CLARITY debate in Congress.

The net long term effect is that demand for these products will drive a convergence of the fiat cost of capital and Bitcoin CAGR. This is the most probable shape of Hyperbitcoinization.

A sly, roundabout way of reclaiming private sector control over money: fulfilling the 1984 prediction by FA Hayek.

This truly can be a short book because there are so many layers to it all.

“Uncle Scrooge, why don’t they just print up a few billion?”

Printing money causes inflation, explained by Scrooge McDuck in 1967, four years before Nixon ended the gold standard & kicked off 50+ years of printing money out of thin air.

Trump isn't going to Davos to negotiate—he's delivering terms of surrender.

His team has already withdrawn from 66 globalist bodies and is tracking the money behind domestic chaos.

The real offensive is underway.

17 years after the white paper, the Bitcoin network is still operational and more resilient than ever. Bitcoin never shuts down.

@SenateDems could learn something from that.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

@zerohedge True.

That is why Bitcoin is based on energy: you can issue fake fiat currency, and every government in history has done so, but it is impossible to fake energy.

[Adam Back @adam3us]

Bitcoin is owned by humanity, the protocol developers are stewards, and need consensus from users to change it materially. bitcoin is about money, spam has no place in the timechain. what defaults the bitcoin core project puts in the reference client matter in this.

So @elonmusk we are starting The Orange Party which is going to use Bitcoin to rip the lungs out of the federal government through ending the fed and replacing the monetary system with Bitcoin.

It’s the only way out of this mess.

You in?

[SatsScholar @SatsScholar]

The original Bitcoin white paper by Satoshi Nakamoto does not use the word “database” anywhere in the text.

Instead, it refers to concepts like:
•“timestamp server”
•“chain of blocks”
•“record”
•“public ledger”

Bitcoin is not a database. Those using this language are gaslighting you in order to move through their agenda. Run Knots. Mine to Ocean.

Bitcoin is money.
