MicroStrategy Buys $250M in Bitcoin, Calling the Crypto ‘Superior to Cash’

[Free Market Capitalist]

Aren't those who invest in shitcoins afraid of losing money? They see Bitcoin going up day after day but shitcoins are going down and those who invest in shitcoins are spending their time crying.

I think they fall into a fallacy that is not the same but similar to sunken cost. They see bitcoin at $100K when it started trading at less than a penny and think they are late, while they see shitcoins trading at pennies and are swayed by the influencer on duty selling them the wonders of the project and think they are going to make 10,000X.
 
But what happens with the $100K happened to them when the price reached $10K and 1K. And it will continue to happen to them when it gets to $200K to $1M and beyond.

Plus the fact that many are short termers. If you play casino with shitcoins and you are lucky in the short term you can make more profit in a couple of months than with bitcoin but you have to be very lucky, and as you extend the term the value of all shitcoins tends to 0 with respect to bitcoin.

Diversification within crypto hardly makes sense beyond maybe 90% bitcoin and up to 10% shitcoins, yet surely guys can do what they like, and even make dumb diversification decisions when it comes to bitcoin versus shitcoins.
Over the years, I have come across all kinds of scenarios in which guys are either ONLY allocated into shitcoins, or maybe they ONLY have 10% to 20% in bitcoin adn the rest of their value spread across various shitcoins.

in my own opinion those guys who only have 10% to 20% in bitcoin and the rest of their value spread across various shitcoins, they are investing wrongly in the crypto space. normally guys can do what they feel like to do in the crypto space, but come to think of it, how can investors with good knowledge and good understanding about cryptocurrency only chose to have 10% to 20% in bitcoin that is store of value and potential returns when buy and hold for long term, and then spread the rest of their value in shitcoins that are no store of value with potential returns. A good investor that is knowledgeable will hold 80% to 90% in bitcoin and 10% to 20% in shitcoins and not doing otherwise.

Sure.  Many of us who have studied bitcoin can recognize the follies of various less than 50% allocations to bitcoin, and surely many of us would not invest any more than 10% or 20% into shitcoins, yet the mere fact that it seems that more people are learning about bitcoin and becoming wiser in regards to bitcoin as the Alpha, there are still a seemingly overwhelming quantity to folks who are new to "crypto" who either believe various shitcoin talking points or they come to conclude that there are likely ways to outperform bitcoin in terms of their being able to smartly identify various "better" projects.   For sure the gamblers and the ill informed are still out there, and they are not necessarily dumb people, and there frequently are needs to learn from experience rather than being able to figure it out in advance.

Aren't those who invest in shitcoins afraid of losing money? They see Bitcoin going up day after day but shitcoins are going down and those who invest in shitcoins are spending their time crying. I think they are still in the dark who are related to shitcoin investments, because they never look at Michael Saylor, the chairman of Microstrategy Company, who is still reigning as the world's greatest bitcoin holder. Those who are investing heavily in bitcoin every week have been able to deposit a total of 592100 bitcoins.
All these things will make a blind person (in reality) think of coming out of the dark world to the light. But those who are investing in shitcoins don't seem to want to come out of the dark world, but Bitcoin is the only one where the possibility of making money is higher than losing money if you invest.
That's why I say buy more Bitcoin, earn Bitcoin regularly, and hold Bitcoin for the long term.

Any of us who either recognize the strength of bitcoin's invest thesis or have figured out that we should at least allocate some value to bitcoin, even if we don't know why bitcoin is valuable, then we are advantaged by the asymmetric information that we have and our willingness to actu upon such asymmetric information.

We are stil likely ONLY around 1% world adoption, so it is likely going to continue to take a lot of time for many regular people to figure out the value proposition of bitcoin and/or not to get overly distracted by shitcoins and other inferior assets and/or at least figure out some way to make meaningful allocations to bitcoin without wrecking ourselves in one direction or another.

Sure we can attempt to help folks out around us to get enlightened towards bitcoin, yet many of us already likely know that there are a lot of folks who continue to either not sufficiently understand bitcoin and/or even to take some action to make sure that they are adequately allocated towards bitcoin (to attempt to protect themselves), even if they don't understand bitcoin.  People tend to be reluctant to either figure out bitcoin and/or to take appropriate actions, and no one wants to invest at the top of prices, which since many folks do not understand bitcoin, they are likely to come to the first impression that they are too late, even if there is something valuable in bitcoin, they tend to feel they are too late.. which causes additional gravitation towards shitcoins and/or other inferior assets and/or investments, to the extent that they are even ready, willing and able to invest in anything.

anyone who truly understand bitcoin will be knowledgeable enough to know that no time is too late to start investing in bitcoin, because bitcoin is a store of value with potential returns. if your mindset is long term holding, less say 5 to 10 years or longer you can even start to invest in bitcoin today using the DCA method to accumulate bitcoin, and hold and you will still be in massive profits if only you can accumulate a good portion of bitcoin and hold for long term.

As for those folks who have seen something valuable in bitcoin and still feel that it's too late to start investing bitcoin, and choose to invest in shitcoins, well it's their choice everybody has the right to invest in what ever they feel is best for them. But all i can say for now is that those folks who feel that it's too late to invest in bitcoin after they seen value in it and choose to invest in shitcoins should have a rethink don't let the current price of bitcoin deceive you into investing wrongly.

Michael Saylor’s Strategy premium is not ‘unreasonable’: Adam Back
Adam Back says that since Strategy typically takes 16 to 18 months to double its Bitcoin per share, the premium on its stock is not "unreasonable.”
Blockstream CEO Adam Back says Michael Saylor’s Strategy (MSTR) stock premium is within reason, considering how quickly the firm doubles its Bitcoin per share, which reduces risk for investors.

Source link: https://cointelegraph.com/news/michael-saylor-s-strategy-premium-is-not-unreasonable-adam-back

The example that Adam Back gives here is certainly realistic and reasonable, it took them a long time to double their shares per Bitcoin, 16 to 18 months is quite reasonable. Adam Back wants to say that if Bitcoin continues to grow at the same rate per share, then after 16 to 18 months the investors will have the same net asset value as the market,
the strike price will be consistent with the Bitcoin holding.
This argument is really realistic because all the investors who are currently buying the shares and Michael Saylor has bought Bitcoin again from the money they bought the shares and added it to the long-term holdings and created a mountain of Bitcoin holdings.

In fact, those who think they are late to invest in Bitcoin, have not yet gained proper knowledge about Bitcoin, which makes them think Bitcoin has reached its highest price, but we can say that we are still in the early stages. Because when Bitcoin spreads all over the world and many people show interest in Bitcoin, the price of Bitcoin will exceed millions of dollars. So those who don't understand easily, should look at the history of Bitcoin, because in the past the price of Bitcoin was very low but now the target dollar has exceeded. So they should understand that Bitcoin will become more valuable as the days go by.

Those who are afraid to invest in Bitcoin should look at MicroStrategy companies that are constantly accumulating bitcoins and the country of El Salvador should follow because El Salvador is constantly accumulating bitcoins. So those who think it's too late and are not interested in investing in Bitcoin now, will regret the present time in the future.

Now Shitcoins are compared to gambling, they cannot survive in the market for long, if one invests in shitcoins one has to be prepared to lose. Those who choose Bitcoin today will laugh in the future and those who choose Shitcoins will cry in the future, that's the reality.

After making an unrealistic prediction yesterday that Bitcoin would be worth $21 million in 21 years, Michael Saylor announced today on his official X page that he is not at the point of stopping Orange Dot. So it seems that Michael Saylor will buy Bitcoin in this dip market. Last week, Michael Sellers purchased 10,100 Bitcoins, meaning he may be buying more Bitcoins this week to reach the 600K Bitcoin milestone. Michael Saylor's holdings currently total 592,000 Bitcoins, meaning that if he purchases a total of 8,000 more Bitcoins, he will reach the 600,000 Bitcoin milestone.

I just saw the post, I even came here to comment, but you were quicker hehehe 

What are your bets on this purchase?
Another 1 billion USD?
500 million?
Less?

It's almost reaching the 600k BTC mark, impressive

I think he will break the 600,000 mark this Monday.
We will know more at 1:00 UCT, as usual, but lately he slowed down a little bit the pace of the buying. Achieving this landmark buy, with relatively low effort, is a too low handing fruit is too easy for Strategy.

Yeah he will surely get to 600,000, his already very close so is nothing for him, Michael Saylor's believe so much in Bitcoin and his one of those investors that believe that Bitcoin will reach a price level that will shock those that don't believe in Bitcoin, right now I see no reason why people will still doubt Bitcoin because it has proven it self in a big way, even some nation and states are now interested in Bitcoin.
Sir fillippone I feel same way too this Monday Michael Saylor's may break the 600,000 mark.

MS may be able to take advantage of this dumping opportunity today and if he invests in Bitcoin this week as planned, he will definitely make good use of this temporary dumping in the market. His Bitcoin purchase last week was most likely at 106k, but if he invests in Bitcoin with this week's announcement, he will be able to invest at 100k. Michael Saylor will take advantage of the right time by investing in Bitcoin on the eve of the Iran-Israel conflict.

Market continuing to break line 100k . Now 99k.

it is already obvious that Michael saylor is now steadily approaching the 600,000 BTC milestone that will likely be surpassed in the near future. if only some folks and entities who rejected bitcoin will have a rethink and start accumulating bitcoin and hold for long term just like Michael saylor (strategy) now that bitcoin is in the growing process it will be better for them, Because bitcoin will definitely reach a price that will shock the world, and those who rejected bitcoin now will regret it in the future.

anyone who truly understand bitcoin will be knowledgeable enough to know that no time is too late to start investing in bitcoin,

Yeah, but.  

None of us really know bitcoin with any kind of level of certainty.

Some of us might know aspects of bitcoin's fundamentals and why we consider that bitcoin is likely a paradigm shifting invention (discovery) that affects so many ways that value is communicated and/or stored - especially since prior to bitcoin, there were difficulties in transporting and/or storing value in digital format - since there was almost no way to assure the integrity of the digital information so that it might not be copied.

Not only did bitcoin solve the copying matter, it also had a bit of a headstart to build itself up as the accepted protocol, which would mean that any competitor would have to be at least 10x better for a switch over.. and so in that sense, bitcoin is at least 10x better than its money competitors such as gold and/or the dollar (and other fiat). .. so as a new protocol value is likely to continue to flow into bitcoin even if it might take 50-200 years for the various adjustments to take place.

We need not recognize and/or understand bitcoin's value proposition beyond consider that there are "odds that bitcoin could go up," so then we just make some chosen allocation to bitcoin based on "odds that it could go up,"  and perhaps the more confident that we are (or the more able that we are to be aggressive within our own discretionary income), then we may well choose to invest more than another person who is less confident and/or less willing to be aggressive in his bitcoin allocation (investment of time, energy and/or value).

because bitcoin is a store of value with potential returns. if your mindset is long term holding, less say 5 to 10 years or longer you can even start to invest in bitcoin today using the DCA method to accumulate bitcoin, and hold and you will still be in massive profits if only you can accumulate a good portion of bitcoin and hold for long term.

Sure, there is nothing wrong with having a bitcoin accumulation period that is at least a whole cycle and perhaps even 4-10 years or longer and then to see how such focused accumulation of bitcoin ends up playing out, whether you choose to be aggressive or whimpy in your level of focus on bitcoin... and surely DCA is a good way to attempt to tailor ongoing bitcoin accumulation to your own sentiment and financial particulars including your discretionary income and the strength of your cashflow management.

As for those folks who have seen something valuable in bitcoin and still feel that it's too late to start investing bitcoin, and choose to invest in shitcoins, well it's their choice everybody has the right to invest in what ever they feel is best for them. But all i can say for now is that those folks who feel that it's too late to invest in bitcoin after they seen value in it and choose to invest in shitcoins should have a rethink don't let the current price of bitcoin deceive you into investing wrongly.

Surely we would likely need to question a person's understanding of bitcoin as compared with shitcoins if he is lured into shitcoins, and yeah, some folks might have some unfortunate circumstances that causes them to gravitate towards shitcoin and perhaps to take longer to begin to better understand how bitcoin is distinguishable from shitcoins.

[edited out]

Now Shitcoins are compared to gambling, they cannot survive in the market for long, if one invests in shitcoins one has to be prepared to lose. Those who choose Bitcoin today will laugh in the future and those who choose Shitcoins will cry in the future, that's the reality.

Surely part of the justification for limiting investment into shitcoins even if a person might be persuaded towards investing into them or having difficulties controlling their tendency to want to gamble.. based on likely incomplete knowledge that some shitcoins have more room to pump and ideas that bitcoin has already run up a lot... . so it can sometimes be difficult for individuals who are persuaded by shitcoin talking points to limit their exposure to shitcoins and concentrate most efforts on building their bitcoin holdings over years and years.

JPMorgan warns that Strategy’s rapid rise and aggressive Bitcoin accumulation pose significant risks. 📈📉

Despite not being in the S&P 500, about $50 billion in index fund assets, including $21 billion from passive funds, are tied to the stock. Strategy holds 592,100 Bitcoins worth ~$61B, yet its $103B market cap far exceeds both its Bitcoin holdings and $111M in quarterly revenue.

In my opinion, Michael Saylor can be called a Bitcoin scientist. Because the way he is buying Bitcoin. It seems that he sees good possibilities for Bitcoin in the future. Due to which he is buying Bitcoin one after another. With that, we are waiting for the time to see if he gives some updates to Bitcoin so that Bitcoin will move forward and gain popularity.

The reason why some folks don't understand Bitcoin is because their mind are clouded by short term gain which usually lure them to shitcoins , some of them believe that they can easily make tons of money from it neglecting the high risk in it I was also clouded then with such mindset during my early days in this space , but now have come this far to understand how Bitcoin work to some extent, and Same time seen the potential in it (Same potential MS saw in Bitcoin too ) .

Surely part of the justification for limiting investment into shitcoins even if a person might be persuaded towards investing into them or having difficulties controlling their tendency to want to gamble.. based on likely incomplete knowledge that some shitcoins have more room to pump and ideas that bitcoin has already run up a lot... . so it can sometimes be difficult for individuals who are persuaded by shitcoin talking points to limit their exposure to shitcoins and concentrate most efforts on building their bitcoin holdings over years and years

Most time such folks tend to learn the hard way , after realising that their losses is way more than their winning ever since they have been into shitcoins , the ones that pains me the most are the ones usually invest high percentage of their earning in some shitcoins without any purpose other than pump and dumping, that's how the other someone lose millions of dollars from Solana meme coin when I saw it I felt bad , such resources going to waste just like that something that would given folks a good head start in purchasing Bitcoin either by lump-summing of certain percentage of the money once or buy breaking it down in form of dcaing . Yeah is true that it won't be easy to limit or to stop one from the exposure of shitcoins, but one should learn that Bitcoin is far better than other coins despite its value , so focusing more percentage on Bitcoin while reducing that of shitcoins.

There's huge possibilities that it will happen especially that right now Saylor have more chance to buy more Bitcoin.

What I like about MicroStrategy especially Saylor is they are not panicking in the situation and they are showing that they accumulate despite of market condition.

That action they have done calm the storm and it somehow retrieve back the confidence of people following them to continue to accumulate to. They are close to 600k Bitcoin at that's really huge milestone for their company.

[Joy- maker]

That is exactly what a really bitcoin investor that is knowledgeable enough and with good understanding about bitcoin should be doing, to keep accumulating bitcoin and hold despite the market conditions without panicking. Only investors who are not knowledgeable enough who lack understanding about bitcoin will sell their bitcoin holding in panic and regret later.

Michael Saylor's holdings currently total 592,000 Bitcoins, meaning that if he purchases a total of 8,000 more Bitcoins, he will reach the 600,000 Bitcoin milestone.

The actual holding is 592,100 BTC, which is very impressive. He needs only 7900 BTC to hit the 600,000 BTC milestone.

What are your bets on this purchase?
Another 1 billion USD?
500 million?
Less?

My bet can't be less than $1b. This is judging by the recent online speculation about the purchase. It must be huge, and I know he would be targeting to move past the 600,000 BTC mark.

It's almost reaching the 600k BTC mark, impressive

A $1b purchase will easily breach the level. And who knows, he might hit 650,000 BTC before 2025 ends.

Such cases should never be panicked by the fear of this case, the problem of this case will be solved very soon. After solving all the problems, they have been holding Bitcoin for a long time, they are holding Bitcoin by following the regular weekly DCA method.
Despite facing difficult situations at present, they are holding Bitcoin regularly, but generally holders will never panic about this common issue, especially those who are Bitcoin lovers and Microstrategy lovers will never panic.

Japanese Mega firm Metaplanet purchased 1111 Bitcoins today and their strategic reserve increased from 10,000 to 11,111.
Bitcoin mega-holder MicroStrategy is set to increase its holdings of Bitcoin soon, as MetaPlanet has increased its Bitcoin strategic reserve. Yesterday, Michael Saylor's official X post mentioned that his organization is going to increase its strategic reserve of Bitcoin very soon and that it is going to be at or very close to 600K.
