Threadguy breaks down the recursive death spiral that could unwind Strategy "I don't fully understand the alchemy in the Strategy ecosystem, but here's what I do know. The only way you get Stretch back to peg, if it doesn't just trade there, is you raise the yield. It's at...

What does it actually mean when STRC trades below par? Strategy CEO Phong Le breaks it down: "It's a preferred equity, not debt. And it's definitely not a money market, even though some people use it in place of one. It's designed to trade within a tight window of par 99 to 101, but there'll be times when it doesn't" "Stretch is trading at 96 cents on the dollar, so it's down 4% during that period. But when you take the 11.5% dividend paid over the last 10 months, that's up 8%. So if you're a shareholder over that period, you're up 4%. If I told you in October I'm going to design an instrument with Bitcoin as the underlying, Bitcoin goes down 50%, and I give you a 4% TSR, would you believe me?" "The last couple weeks it's gone down because Bitcoin has gone down, but it'll come back up. We have the mechanisms. We could increase the dividend, we could shore up the US dollar reserve. I have a strong belief we'll continue to pay the dividends and it'll trade back at par"

🍀 "how do you overcome times when your willpower drops?" 🐻 "when willpower drops, just live with it dropped. just let it flow. and then, at some point, someday you'll have the strength to do it again. but i think the most important thing at that time is to completely empty your mind of any desire to do something. like, 'i don't want to do it right now. i'm not going to do it.' if you can cleanly say that, that's great. but if there's even a little bit of, 'i should be doing it, so why am i not doing it?' in your mind, then it's better to just go ahead and do it. but in the end, when your willpower is down, you can't do it anyway. so in the end, i think it's good to take care of your own feelings. that's how i overcame it."

Javier Milei | "I'm not afraid of death. When you act and live according to your conscience, you're not afraid. That's the problem the caste has with me: they go out of their way for money... I found happiness so I don't need power nor money. So, when I ask you for your vote it is not to have the power, it is to give it back to you."

Keegan Bradley says losing the Ryder Cup at Bethpage was the “darkest time of his life”. However, he also would love to do it again and “avenge that loss.” Speaking ahead of the Hero World Challenge, he said: “I have this like gaping hole in my career now that I don't know that I'll ever be able to fill. This isn't something that you lose the Masters, you lose a tournament, I'm going to work extra hard to get back and win. “Being the captain of the Ryder Cup team is not something you can work hard for, it's just something that's sort of elected on you. “I don't know. Of course I would love to do it again, I would love to avenge that loss, but that's not up to me. That's not up to -- I don't think that's fair for me to come out here and say that. “But I would love to do it again at some point. I don't know if that will ever happen, probably won't. I think if you ask any losing captain if they would like to do it again, they would all want another shot.” On what the weeks after the Ryder Cup were like for him emotionally, he said: “I mean, the darkest time of my life probably. I mean, I don't know how else to describe it. Certainly, definitely of my career. There's always this letdown after a Ryder Cup or Presidents Cup regardless of the outcome because the emotions are so extreme. It's Ryder Cup hangover and you're just exhausted and you're down, you know. That takes a toll on you. “But there's just, it just was, it just was a tough time. Still is. But to be honest with you, the last couple weeks I've felt more like myself. Getting back, getting ready to play tournaments, playing the Skins game, getting ready to come play here. “Really, it's been tough for all of us; not just me, the players as well. I feel like every time I see a player on the team here I want to just go give him a hug and sit down and chat. But I'm grateful for everybody. I'm in a unique position where I could make another team, which has never been done. I would love to do that.” What are your thoughts on this, would you give Keegan another shot at being Captain in 2027?

Melody: Taylor since the beginning has talked about how she fucking hates it here & wants to leave. I get it, shit's hard, it's not always like rainbows and sunshine but like it just pisses me off. I want to be here and I'm having fun, and not that she doesn't, but it's annoying to hear it all the time. Like whatever dude. You've never one time been in jeopardy of legitimately going home. Which good for you. I think that's awesome. But the fact that you're the biggest complainer in the house is so fucking irritating to me. And I do fuck with her. But it just gets old. If you want to leave so bad, then fucking leave. There's four other people in this house that wanna be here more than you. #bb28

Bukayo Saka admits he’s been gambling with his fitness throughout last season and will continue to do so: “I think when you have that success and you taste it, you want to do it again. It can go two ways, but when I speak for myself, I'd say it's definitely made me want to do it again and come into this tournament with even more hunger.” Alex Howell: “Your fitness, how has that been? Has that been frustrating for you, maybe people watching, not knowing what you're pushing yourself to do? And have you had to learn more about yourself, how to play, when maybe you're not 100%?” Saka: “Yeah, but I think as players, you know, It's the biggest gamble, especially if you're not feeling your sharpest, you have the choice whether you don't play or you put yourself out there knowing that people are going to judge you the same. “And at the end of the day, people don't really care how you're feeling. They expect you to deliver, they expect you to perform. And yeah, I'm happy to take that gamble and it paid off, I'd say. And I'm going to continue doing that. But like I said, I'm feeling a lot better than I did in March and I'm ready to go.”

Lebron on what it takes to play for as long as he has at a high level that the average fan may not understand: "It starts way before you get on the floor. They see us once the game is going the popcorn's been popped and the lights are brighter. It takes so much more like sacrifice and discipline and things over the course if you want to be really great at this and if you want to do it for a long period of time. It's so many hours that you got to commit to it. There's so many things that you maybe want to do that you can't if you want to be great but everybody's journey is different. I'm just speaking from my journey but I do think that the game gives back to the ones who put the time in and commit to the game. That's just the game God's rewarding and we don't cheat the process"

"Is Stretch really that innovative Bitcoin-backed credit, or is it just yield chasing right now?" David Duong on the real debate around Michael Saylor and Strategy "So far Saylor has demonstrated the ability to raise capital and grow his Bitcoin per share. That kind of stays ahead of the compounding dividend obligation he has. That engine so far has been running" "But is that an autopilot thing where he can just keep doing that in perpetuity? I don't have the answer to that. I don't think anyone does" "A lot of it comes down to Michael Saylor. How good is he at continuing this trend? I don't know what the answer is gonna be at the end of all things, but this is what a lot of people are internalizing at the moment"

Jordan Peterson on what scares him more than death "You know, I was ready to die a year ago. And not casually. I had people I loved. So no, I'm not very worried about me, but I am very worried about making a mistake." "Do I fear I've become a Jordan Peterson impersonator? I think I worry about it more than anything else. I hope. I hope I do. I better." "Has fame corrupted me? No doubt. In some regard. It's a very difficult thing to avoid, because things change around you." "Not if the red carpet is rolled out to you while you're on your way to perdition. That's not a good deal. You just get there more efficiently." "If you gaze into the abyss long enough, you see the light, not the darkness. I'm betting my life on it." "The angel of death sits on every word." "I'd wake up every morning. Time short, get at it. Time short, get at it. There's things to do." "I heard Elon Musk talk about that a couple of months ago. Someone asked him about death and he said just offhand, 'That'd be a relief.' And then he went on with the conversation." "I'm more afraid of hell than death. I don't know if it follows or if it's always here. And I think we're gonna find out." "You're more likely to die terribly if you live in a manner that brings you to hell. That's one connection."

But if we're in this period of money printing and soft yield curve control, MicroStrategy is irrelevant. What he does doesn't matter" "At the end of the day, if I'm an investor getting back into Bitcoin and I have to invest through a stock market, just buy IBIT or one of these other Bitcoin ETFs. Don't buy MicroStrategy, it makes absolutely no sense" "If you want to gamble, cool, that's a thing. But the institutional bid for crypto exposure through a stock market will not go through MicroStrategy" "And if that stock does not trade at a premium to mNAV, the whole thing breaks down.

Coffeezilla thinks that $STRC is going to fail because it's 11.5% yield is "Too good to be true" comparing it to the Terra Luna moment and described it as a "Ponzi Scheme". There's absolutely no substance to his claims because he doesn't understand it. He sees the headline interest return and then compares it to every other high yield return product but spectacularly misses the fact that this product is nothing like them. Saylor recently did an interview with Bankless and mentioned there were '3 types of people in the world - Optimists, Pessimists & Alarmists". Coffeezilla in this instance is an alarmist. He says that Strategy are 'not obligated to pay you the yield'. Correct....but it's clearly not in their interest to not pay the divided, so why would they not? As Saylor correctly says: "You need to have a stochastic view of the world. We could list 100 things that could go wrong, but the real threat is you get hit by a truck because you're not looking both ways while you cross the street." $STRC is the real deal. Anyone who has watched it closely over the past 8+ months will tell you that.

"And so sometimes like God speaks to me, I think primarily God speaks through me through action. And I think he speaks through everyone through action. You know, we like to talk a lot, but not a lot of people like to live it out. And I make mistakes, but I want to try to live it out to the best of my ability. I think secondly, through the way of communication, I've always had a heart to make complex ideas simpler to understand because I'm not a smart guy. I have a hard time reading Shakespeare and complex literature, so I like doing that. But sometimes I'll be sitting and talking with someone, and I feel like God tells me something about the person. They're struggling with something or if they've got a physical ailment and I'll ask. And sometimes it's true. Sometimes it's not. I'm not not discouraged if it's right or wrong, but if it's right, sometimes God speaks through that way. Those are a few ways God speaks through me, but, but the intrusive thing is so beautiful because I think he can speak to everyone intrusively and it is so sweet when it happens. And it was, it was happening this morning to me in the shower, which is so sweet and beautiful, you know. I struggle a lot with what people think about me because I've always struggled with people pleasing before being a Christian. And so, you know, if I'm misunderstood or someone takes something in the way that I didn't say it, I get hurt because I'm like, oh, I didn't mean it that way. Or, you know, whatever. So I'm kind of talking to Jesus and I'm in the shower praying and I'm going, man, God, I want to be more like you. I want to be how you want me to be. I want to love you. And I want to be your son. And I just want to focus on being yours. And I don't want to care what other people think. And this, this and that. And Jesus was speaking to me about some practical things I needed to do. Like it would help you if you, you know, stopped looking at what people say online. It would help if you deleted Instagram. And it would help if you did this. And, it would help if you would just trust other people to do what they're supposed to do. So you can focus on being mine. And I'm sitting there in the shower going like, wow, this is so good. And it's so hard, but it's so good." Bryce Crawford, Minister

jihoon answering teumes’ worries at dawn live 👤: I really wanted to receive a psychiatric (treatment) but I don’t have the courage to do it. Should I go? I think I’m going to have a hard time accepting that I am falling apart. 🐶: but I recommend going to the psychiatrist, whether if it’s receiving a psychological counselling or a psychiatric examination, it’s good to receive a treatment for it. Everyone, going to the psychiatrist doesn’t make you weird. If you caught a cold, you go to the internal medicine department, If your joints or bones hurts, you go to the orthopaedics. It’s just a cold that come to the mind. It’s not that going to the psychiatrist makes me a weird person, no it’s not that. It’s just that I’m exhausted for a while, it’s just a hospital. There’s more people going there more than you think, if you go to hospital, the queuing are the longest. Nowadays, it’s the same as the past too but there’s no one who doesn't have a hard time. In this hard world, although there are people who look at the hard times in a good way, & there are also people who don’t look at it in a good way… but since it’s a world where we lived together, there's nothing we can do about it, right? But those kind of, “ah I went to the psychiatrist & I collapsed” I don’t think you have think of that. It’s just, “I am having a hard time these days so I’m just going to get help for it” just think of it as if you caught a cold. I hope you don’t think of this deeply. Of course you can go. If your stomach hurt, you can go to the internal medicine, if your head hurts, you can go to the Otolaryngology. It’s just that your heart is having a hard time for a while. This is not something to be ashamed of, you don’t need to read the air with the people around you for this. Always cheer up, even if you collapse, let's practice the strength that can make you rise again slowly, treasure makers. You can do it, everyone, I know you can do it.

There’s more people going there more than you think, if you go to hospital, the queuing are the longest. Nowadays, it’s the same as the past too but there’s no one who doesn't have a hard time. In this hard world, although there are people who look at the hard times in a good way, & there are also people who don’t look at it in a good way… but since it’s a world where we lived together, there's nothing we can do about it, right? But those kind of, “ah I went to the psychiatrist & I collapsed” I don’t think you have think of that. It’s just, “I am having a hard time these days so I’m just going to get help for it” just think of it as if you caught a cold. I hope you don’t think of this deeply. Of course you can go. If your stomach hurt, you can go to the internal medicine, if your head hurts, you can go to the Otolaryngology. It’s just that your heart is having a hard time for a while. This is not something to be ashamed of, you don’t need to read the air with the people around you for this. Always cheer up, even if you collapse, let's practice the strength that can make you rise again slowly, treasure makers. You can do it, everyone, I know you can do it.

Thinking about Terry Gilliam's Brazil. Specifically the rouge HVAC tech Harry Tuttle, played by Robert De Niro. Tuttle, tired of government bureaucracy keeping him from his work, became an outlaw. He tells us he's "in it for the action". He loves fixing HVAC systems, and he's not going to let rules and regulations stand in his way. He continues in his work even though he's being hunted by the Secret Police. Why not hang it up? Why does he keep going? He doesn't stop because he can't stop. He's compelled to do it, and he couldn't stop if he wanted to. So he sneaks around in the dead of night, armed, watching out for ambushes, fixing heating systems--because he has to. Harry Tuttle cares about fixing heating systems more than he cares about his own life... A topic I keep returning to is the extreme amount of hard work and dedication required to make a movie. It's become a recurring theme of mine, mainly because it just doesn't seem to land with readers. That's probably due to my poor writing skills. But then again, maybe there's no way to explain it. Maybe to truly understand, it's something you have to experience for yourself. Like Harry Tuttle, the people who make movies will do whatever it takes to make their film. They do this because they care about making movies more than anything. They care more about making movies than their spouses, their children, or friends, or morality, or decency, or money, or anything and everything else you can think of. Not that they don't care about those things. But the work comes first. And again, they'll do whatever it takes to make it happen. They'll even risk their own lives (and the lives of others) to get that perfect shot. I've seen that many times over. I've even done it myself. Why do they do this? It's because they have to do it. They're compelled. When the urge to create hits--when it REALLY hits--you have to get it out. You have to make it REAL. And failure isn't an option. It's not about the money or the fame or the accolades. It's about creating the thing they've been inspired to create. And again, they do whatever it takes. They're not going to let anyone or anything stop them. This isn't something you can learn in school, or by watching Youtube videos. And it isn't something that's gifted to you by the "gatekeepers" (except by God maybe...) It's something you're born with. And it makes you abnormal--defective. Life is going to hard. Nothing will ever be good enough. It will be hard to get close to people. And any relationship you manage to build will be wrecked. But if you don't have it--if you don't have The Thing--if you don't have that compulsion, then don't even fucking try. There are easier ways to earn a living. Maybe you should go to Law School kid... So when I see online chatter about "Gatekeepers" or (most laughably) "The Joos" preventing them from making the things they want to make, I just shake my head. Because they have no clue what it is to actually create. If you're really a creator, if you're truly inspired, if you have what it takes (if you have That Thing) then you'll figure out a way. And you won't let anything get between you and your creation. Because you're not brittle like that. OR, maybe you ARE brittle. But that compulsion--That Thing--is going to glue you together. It's going to make you strong. It's going to make you unstoppable. But most of these people are just whiners. Posting--just typing shit--is a low effort activity. It requires almost no sacrifice. If they really cared about creating the content they want to see then they'd go out and do it. And I would invite everyone to try. But again, it's not easy. And you're probably not cut out for this type of work. So you'll probably give up. But that's fine. You can always just open the app and whine. And I'll be here too--probably still trying to get the point across. After all, I'm just in it for the action🤷‍♂️
