Three tomatoes are walking down the street: a papa tomato, a mama potato, and a baby tomato. The baby tomato is lagging behind so the Papa tomato walks back, steps on him, and says, "Ketchup."
“There but for the grace of God go I,” said John Bradford as he watched a group of prisoners being led to execution, humbly acknowledging that he could just as easily be in their place if not for God’s mercy.
Rocket science might be beyond me, but I know my way around a 4-stroke engine from rebuilding lawn mowers as a kid: intake, compression, power, and exhaust. I think Strategy ₿ has finished its intake, hit full compression, and is ready for an epic power stroke once they realize it. The amount of ₿itcoin they’d need to sell for dividends is tiny compared to the massive stack they already hold. Let them use just a sliver of that ₿itcoin for dividends while we wait for the power stroke. Stop selling stock, create scarcity in their lineup, and let ₿itcoin carry the load.

Strive shorts would have to buy the entire volume the company's stock for Pi days to cover.
