The Bitcoin Effect

[Scott Ellam @btconlyscott]

@FT If someone spent $59 a month on BTC instead of the FT subscription since the FT first published an article on BTC in 2013.

This is the result.

@joshmdona @Astropin All info was publicly available since inception. Didn’t have to be an accredited investor, open to everyone. People like Andreas antonopoulos teaching about it and simplifying it since 2012. If you didn’t get in until 100k, you probably heard about it yet actively avoided it

@JazzyJeff8521 @bitcoinhypeman You just need to study BTC more. If you don’t understand BTC you won’t understand what MSTR is building

@davidsacks47 @gauchoeddy Selling gold to buy Bitcoin is budget-neutral.

[Peter Schiff @PeterSchiff]

I get the rationale for a Bitcoin reserve. I don't agree with it, but I get it. We have a gold reserve. Bitcoin is digital gold, which is better than analog gold. So let's create a Bitcoin reserve too. But what's the rationale for an XRP reserve? Why the hell would we need that?

[Ben Werkman @Werkman]

I know retail is hating this $MSTR price action for the most part, but do you know who loves it?

The convertible arbitrage desk buyers of the convertible bonds.

These significant expansions and contractions of price are what allow them to run their delta hedging strategies and is exactly why they love holding these bonds and trading around them on the equity.

Remember, retail is not driving the ship here. It'd be ignorant to think so, just look at the volumes trading. The major capital that is at play is loving this price action for the last month. It's an institutional level capital playground for generating returns on Wall Street.

Also for reference, this correction we've seen has happened several times already this year. It's not abnormal behavior for the stock.

March/April we went peak to trough -49%.

June/July we went -31%.

July/August we went -44%.

Nov/December (current) we went -42% peak to trough.

So what we've seen is hardly out of character for MSTR. It's not the first major correction we've seen, and it absolutely won't be the last. When you design an equity for volatility, you can't be surprised when volatility happens.

It's always felt like it's over, it never has been.

@LizardWizardBTC @legacy_western He also sold a lot towards the bottom and might have too much pride

Scott Bessent will be a champion for digital assets and a crucial ally in passing my Strategic Bitcoin Reserve. I look forward to working closely with the future Treasury Secretary to restore fiscal responsibility!
