I haven't studied much about MSTY, but it seems like a smart strategy, instead of somply selling Bitcoin.
For myself, unless I'm missing something, since I already have an income, BTC as savings & MSTR as an investment make more sense to pile into.

I think there are different groups of Bitcoiners who get lumped together when it comes to the SBR, even though they’re actually quite different.
First, there are those who cheer for the government to seize, print, or tax in order to buy Bitcoin, mostly because they want their fiat bags pumped. In my view, they’re more fiat maxis than actual Bitcoiners.
Then there are the patriotic types who see this as the U.S. taking a step in what they perceive to be the right direction. I’d call them American Bitcoiners.
Finally, there are those excited to see the game theory play out. It might look like they’re cheering for the government, but really, they’re just cheering for the game theory itself. I’d consider them neutral Bitcoiners, and that’s where I sit, at least for now.
I’m probably forgetting a few other factions, but I find these three often get lumped together when people talk about the SBR

I have a weird relationship with government. I hate it, but I accept that it exists. I just want it to go back to its basic role: protecting our negative rights. To me, that’s its only legitimate purpose. Anything beyond that starts to feel like a power-hungry leviathan trying to grow even bigger.

It’s a new product built on top of a volatile asset. If I were running the company offering the service, I’d take the same approach. Someone without at least $100K in liquid assets likely wouldn’t be worth the risk, at least not initially. Over time, as the product matures and the mechanisms become more refined, the threshold could be lowered.

I have friends like these who have good paying jobs. Their salaries are higher than mine, yet they are perpetually stuck in this victimhood mentality, mostly because they are too blinded by hatred to better their own situation.
Politics has become a crutch for them to use as an excuse as to why they are unhappy. It's their political enemy's fault that their life isn't what they want it to be.

Why would we stop eating meat if society collapsed? We were hunters and gatherers before society came to be.
Non meat eaters came to be from mass farming, which relies on society. It's literally the opposite.

2025-03-28 16:26:48

Fundamentally, I believe the problem with Canadians is a lack of understanding about human rights.
Many seem to think that rights are granted by the government, likely because the concept has been muddied by positive rights, such as universal healthcare.
But the government's function is to enforce the protection of negative rights; they do not grant them.
Unfortunately, too many Canadians fail to grasp this distinction.

There was a goalie coach who was fairly popular in my city a few years ago. I never liked his coaching style or goaltending philosophy.
Part of the reason was that the system he taught relied heavily on players making specific decisions. He wanted all of his goalies to play "compact", meaning that on every shot, they were to drop down with their knees tight together and their hands and elbows tucked in close to their body. The idea was that no puck could go through the goalie.
The problem was that this made it extremely difficult for goalies to react to shots around them, because their limbs were locked in so tightly. They couldn’t move effectively.
When his goalies got beat on shots going around them, his usual response was, “The players aren't shooting where they’re supposed to.” He expected shooters to fire pucks at the goalie if the goalie was in position. If they shot around the goalie, even when the goalie was technically in position, he viewed it as an anomaly.
JF, the goalie coach, expected players to behave according to how he thought they should behave. If they didn’t, the issue wasn’t with the system he created, it was with the players for not conforming to it.
That’s why I never liked the way he coached. What he taught wasn’t based in reality. He believed reality should bend to fit his system, not the other way around.
And reading Mark Carney’s book gives me a similar feeling. I’m only about 30% through, but his ideas about how an economy should function feel a lot like JF’s approach to goaltending. He seems to expect people to behave differently, and if they did, then his system would work.
A player will always try to shoot around a goalie to score. They won’t just shoot at the goalie simply because the goalie is in good position. Their goal is to score, and they’ll do whatever they can to make it happen.
Carney’s economic ideas seem to rely on the assumption that everyone will act altruistically, which we all know isn’t realistic. Because of that, his system is bound to fail.
To me, he’s too much like JF. He seems unwilling to adapt and will likely double down, trying to brute force his system to work rather than adjusting it to reflect how people actually behave.
JF ruined many goalies during his career... goalies who had real potential to play professionally. I fear Carney could have a similar impact on the economy if given enough influence.

Honestly, I got a bit of a boomer vibe from him in that clip. I don’t know him personally, but it felt like he got triggered and used his friend’s muscle atrophy as a way to justify his resentment toward tech.
That said, he’s not wrong about the many people relying on machines to do the thinking and creative work for them. It’s unfortunate, and they probably won’t get very far that way.
