Nice try, but "Trump is just as bad" doesn't survive five minutes of scrutiny.
Trump's case: allegations from the 1990s, litigated three decades later in Manhattan...arguably the bluest jury pool in America, in front of a judge appointed by Bill Clinton, upheld by an appeals panel made entirely of Democratic appointees. Say what you want about the verdict, but pretend for a second that venue and appointment history are irrelevant and you're not being serious.
Platner's situation: an allegation from 2021...five years ago, not thirty...from a woman he was actively dating, who says she told her therapist and friends at the time. That's not a decades-old memory being reconstructed for a courtroom. That's recent, with people who can speak to it right now.
If "recent and credible" is suddenly the standard everyone wants to apply, it applies here first. You don't get to invoke it for one case and ignore it for the other because the politics are inconvenient.
This isn't a both-sides story. It's not close.

Genuinely wild that the guy who signed the bill releasing millions of pages of Epstein documents is the one supposedly "exposed" by them (ignored by Sleepy Joe). Meanwhile the Clintons are stonewalling a subpoena about their own ties to Epstein. Nobody's accused Trump of touching a single victim. Follow the actual files, not the narrative.

@SenWarren You'll forever be remembered for calling a man accused of rape "my kind of man." Funny how "believe women" only applies when it's politically convenient.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

@Tironianae Notice the phrasing 'falsely accused of being a racist.' For those still gripped by TDS, everything he does reads as racist by default. So in their minds, there's no such thing as a false accusation here, because to them, he's guilty before the sentence even starts.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

You know Scripture calls Jesus the one mediator between God and man. You know he told his followers to call no man father in that spiritual sense, and that title still gets claimed. And you know God calls himself a jealous God who wants prayer directed to him alone, not routed through the dead who cannot hear you.
Your better-than-thou attitude tells me more about where your heart is than it does about mine. The Holy Spirit doesn't posture, he convicts.
I'm not asking you to argue with me about it. I'm asking you to sit with those verses on your own, without anyone standing between you and the text. That's the whole seed. Grace to you.

Michael Saylor has more courage than anyone I’ve ever seen in public markets.

2022 taught him a lesson he will never forget, and the @Strategy balance sheet that sits today is its reflection.

It’s built to withstand pretty much anything the market throws at it.

When you spend thousands of hours understanding a company, understanding Bitcoin, watching nearly every interview Saylor has ever given, you develop a level of conviction that is genuinely difficult to explain to someone on the outside.

The few bulls standing firm on days like today know exactly what I mean.

I have given a significant portion of the past few years to deeply understanding what this company is trying to build.

And if what I have done feels substantial, keep in mind that @saylor has given the past six years of his life to this mission.

He has outworked probably anyone in this space, obsessed over this day and night, and traveled the world advocating for it.

He could be sitting on his yacht in Cannes.

Instead, he keeps showing up.

I find it almost amusing that anyone genuinely believes Saylor is here to rob people.

A billionaire heading toward the final chapter of his career has the least incentive imaginable to scheme against retail investors.

He already has everything he needs materially.

What he does not have, and what has driven him for the past five years, is the mark he wants to leave.

His mother believed he could change the world.

He has made it his life’s mission to prove her right by fixing a part of the system that robs ordinary people of the opportunity to pursue the life they want.

@saylor genuinely believes money is the highest form of energy human beings can channel.

And he has committed everything to trying to change how that energy flows.

People underestimate how hard that is.

He has built an entirely new category.

He has trailblazed the path for corporations to hold Bitcoin.

He has built structures that support the very network he believes can change the world.

And with an approach this disruptive, it was always going to rub people the wrong way.

Traditional markets were always going to push back against anyone trying to restructure the way credit works.

Skeptics in the Bitcoin community were always going to resist his capitalist view.

And people within the crypto space were always going to find a target for their lost cause.

Yes….It is deeply disappointing to see $STRC behave in the opposite way the instrument was designed to behave.

Anyone sitting on losses has my genuine sympathy.

But I truly believe this management team is capable of working through this.

For those with a little more patience, a little more of the same belief that brought them to this instrument in the first place, I believe this team will find a way.

I have never had a stronger conviction in what is being built here.

I am willing to go down with it if it comes to that.

I know Saylor is.

I know Phong is.

The mission will continue.

Mission Strategy.

@KingCroat1950 @ReiSatoshiClub @ZynxBTC When the flywheel spins and BTC rips, the payoff will be massive. But you have to weather the storm... just like every Bitcoiner before you. Same boat, rougher seas.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

You're not wrong that the multiple has been inconsistent... 4.5x in the euphoria of BTC hitting 100k, then compression when the premium deflated. That's exactly how a leveraged NAV vehicle works.

The premium to NAV expands when sentiment is hot and compresses when it cools. So the "beta" to BTC isn't static, it's a function of where the market is pricing the MSTR premium at any given moment. Late 2024 was peak euphoria. Aug 2025 was a reset.

But here's what stays constant: MSTR keeps stacking BTC through all of it. The dilution funds more accumulation. The BTC per share keeps climbing. So even if the premium-to-NAV multiple continues to compress, you still own an ever-growing pile of Bitcoin per share underneath it.

Long term, the multiplier to BTC matters a lot less than simply whether BTC itself is going higher. If your answer is yes, MSTR's structural accumulation engine does the work regardless of where the premium trades on any given day.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

OG here... been buying BTC since 2013, thousands of hours deep into this. So let me be direct.

If you don't like MSTR, you just don't like Bitcoin. It's that simple.

The dilution argument is a surface-level read. Yes, they can issue more shares. They use those shares to buy Bitcoin. If BTC is higher in the future and if you're in this space you believe it will be, the accretion from that BTC crushes the dilution. Saylor tracks this as "BTC yield" and it's been positive every single quarter.

The 10 billion share authorization is a ceiling. It's optionality. Not a promise. It lets them move fast and big when the moment calls for it. That's a feature.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

MSTR doesn't generate cash flow to buy BTC, they raise capital by issuing shares. Every time they dilute, they're buying more Bitcoin. If BTC goes up (which is the bull thesis), the value accrued per share MORE than offsets the dilution. That's the engine.

You're looking at the exhaust and calling it the problem. The exhaust is what moves the car.

The 10B share authorization is just a blank check ceiling they'll never fully use...it gives institutional credibility and optionality. Saylor has been very transparent: every capital raise is designed to increase BTC per diluted share. Track their BTC yield metric. It's been positive.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

@ReiSatoshiClub @ZynxBTC It's amplified bitcoin..goes up or down 1.5 of BTC without having to buy a time erosion option.

Totally agree that slavery never should have happened. That's not up for debate. But acknowledging something was wrong doesn't automatically mean it needs its own federal holiday. We already have MLK Day specifically to honor the struggle for racial equality. My concern is less about the history itself and more about whether adding another holiday actually accomplishes anything beyond politics. Two holidays with essentially the same civic message starts to feel more symbolic than substantive.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

@jacobsenphoto @stockmom It's not the celebration that's divisive, it's the politics around it. The moment a holiday becomes a tool to push guilt and grievance instead of gratitude, it stops uniting and starts dividing. That's the problem.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

@jacobsenphoto @stockmom If the goal is a united America, multiplying racially focused holidays isn't the way to get there. MLK Day is already on the calendar. More isn't always better. Especially when it's doing more to divide than to heal.

[@johnnykirios @johnnykirios]

@jacobsenphoto @stockmom Isn't MLK day enough?
