    1. There's another theory that says " When Bitcoin goes up, its clean, unadulterated growth. When it goes down, its evil market manipulation." Every time, never fails.

    2. In July 2025 a satoshi-era whale liquidated 80,000btc. Look at chart and lmk the effect that had on the price… If Saylor sold that much he would be able to pay his dividend obligations for 9 years and have ~570,000btc remaining. Do the math ffs. Btc would need to crash so hard for so long for these doom scenarios to take hold. In those scenarios I promise bitcoiners would have a lot more to worry about than mstr price.

    3. To simplify it, if you think MNAV will be under 1 for 21 months, short, otherwise long. If that's a tough decision for you don't think too hard you might hurt yourself

    4. This commentary assumes there is no other big buyers stepping in to buy. Only in that case, the downward spiral kicks in. In reality, bitcoin is getting increasing institutional adoption and participation. Also, that 800mio payment obligation happens each year, not over night. Market has plenty time to adjust. So it is not very smart to speculate the downward spiral would happen.

    5. Ahm I may be confused, but wouldn’t it be much more practical for strategy to loan their btc and create consistent cash flow via interest payments? If they don’t do that already.

    6. They aren’t going to have to sell Bitcoin for cash dividends unless they are under MNAV nearly the whole way to the end of their 20+ month run way. Plus they raised that $1.4 Billion in about a week… They can raise more and increase their buffer. This is not even close to being an issue.

    7. Hi I personally do not own any mstr and i have already known all of these prior to its crash. I am sure that you already knew this beforehand and just feel that you should have posted this video much earlier to warn people about the risk about mstr. Doing this after the crash has no use as the damage has already been done. I just felt that you should have warned the viewers more since you potray yourself as a 'bitcoin pro'

    8. What I'm curious about is what happens now that China has dumped their reserve of US Dollars (billions) into Bitcoin – I believe to untether it from the USD being the reserve currency for dealing Oil. As the USD has become worthless – and China has been hoarding stockpiles of US Cash *physical. It would stabilize their economy and free them from paying the US for Oil exchange, as it would others if Oil turn to Bitcoin as the reserve currency and drops the US Dollar. Which is the only value our dollar actually has anymore. It is almost like declaring a financial war on the USA to unseat them as the world's reserve and exchange currency for oil. Does not bode well for us – unless we are the leaders of some new technology like AI. Once we lose our grip on balls of the rest of the world – we are in serious trouble with our own debt.

    9. If mNAV falls below one, and they sell bitcoin, there is a chance that a steep drop in the price of bitcoin will automatically bring mNAV above one again. Its just a case of which will drop faster. That said the value of strategy is mostly the price of bitcoin.

    10. They always keep Bitcoin in the 90k to 150k range so retail FOMO doesn't die off. If Bitcoin were to surge beyond 200k, small investors would lose interest because they simply couldn't afford it. It's all just about pumpanddump cycles and the dream of getting rich quickly.

    11. FWIW, if you look at Strategy’s total bond and preferred debt, the price of BTC would need to fall by at least 77% to trigger liquidation. BTC has had loses of this magnitude in the past, but I think it probably won’t go below $40k, and going below $25k seems extremely unlikely. Not impossible though. Ya put in your $ and ya take yer chances 🤷‍♂️🙄
