msty is very bad performance when compared against mstr
Since inception, MSTY has decreased in price by roughly 13.22%, while MSTR has increased in price by more than 230%...
[O]nce you add back in dividends, MSTY underperformed MSTR by more than 90% over the last year alone

this may also be a play to take many of the private ventures that VC have as
and take their illiquid shares and transfer them into a public holding company
just like fold went public via a spac, expect to see this company acquire Strike, and many other VC investments

everything about MSTY is retarded
MSTY does not hold MSTR shares so it will not participate in BTC upside. It holds cash secured options
MSTY will slowly decapitalize itself as it pays out profits
If you want to play with options then own MSTR and sell options via covered calls or sell put options at prices you want to own the stock.
Always roll any premiums from options into spot BTC
Also measure your performance against BTC so you don't trick yourself into thinking you are being clever.

Too complicated. They ask for money and you choose to use their services or use a competing service like a private road builder. Service by service payment just like all aspects of life.

A country with a trade imbalance will have its citizens run out of money unless their money appreciates at a rate greater than they can consume goods from others.
When they do run of money they will work as hard as possible by making stuff and perform services to get money again.
All this trade economics mumbo jumbo boils down to this simple first princle.
When you run out of money you work for whatever you can to make money again.

tariffs decrease the flow of dollars to other parts of the world
less dollars to other parts of the world increase the difficulty of servicing dollar denominated debt
those countries then print their their local currency to buy US treasury bonds in order to get the yield from those treasury bonds to service their existing debt
The US treasury yield then falls because there's an increasing demand for US treasury bonds as it is the only way of getting dollars to service existing debt
this then leads to the global debt restructure

Then they outsourced their shipbuilding to the Venetians. Within 30 years, they were conquered…by the Venetians.

doubt it. places that use tether already use paper dollars

tether does not increase dollar usage, it takes control and issuance of the dollar from the commercial banks (which control the fed) and gives control to the treasury department
bank loans no longer mint the dollars
treasury bills mint the dollars on tether

2025-03-22 12:53:33

The United States dollar is not owned by the US. It is a private currency owned by the US Federal reserve which is a private institution.
USDT is a private currency owed by the tether corporation
If you live in the United States, you are paid in a private currency every day in the form of federal reserve US dollars.
You can use a private currency to pay your taxes and you can take out loans that are payable in that currency from all US banks.
Tether directly competes with the federal reserve dollar, which is a product of the US federal reserve.
US treasury bills back tether in addition to other assets.
Nothing backs the US dollar except the legal history of being able to pay your debts with it, and the usefulness of its function within the banking infrastructure.
Tether is directly aligned with the United States treasury department. The federal reserve is in direct opposition to the United States treasury department.
