It looks chaotic and unstructured, but is a manifestation of the inherent resilience of #Bitcoin.<br/><br/>One reason the debate is polarised is that the underlying problem may not be recognised. The only reason to have a mempool is not just fee estimation, it is also to construct block templates for mining. Since such template production is, in practice, centralised enough that we can successfully submit transactions directly to large pools, the real solution to this issue may be linked to the efforts to decentralise the majority of block template production - like what Ocean and others are doing.<br/><br/>The actual problem or solution isn’t clear to me, but we’ll get there, eventually. 2025-09-25T02:40:21Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx8w83uk5h6tjywn5jsxl40kp76gjkjvw5kpw6lxkctxr3zk4cujqzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjmrtux9 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqszumg6dkllgczz9lj0dtrz7facgczqu352jgqzlffr0t58yt0yuxsewtvfy'>nevent1q…tvfy</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes. 2025-09-25T02:23:54Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgmusdxqnrfhr5nyfmtcw8kgps98qgrzn6nvy8g3n7vd4geqn3hpszyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjalrxv3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsxz2gmjteujfz8tdha5hjuu2qh299tsw9z38xjf6fluerp8tc37pq5y02vn'>nevent1q…02vn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Completely true, but scarcely recognised.

Peers of every scale acting in their self interest is one of the pillars of Bitcoin’s resilience.<br/><br/>The prefs of Strategy, which strip excess return and volatility in exchange for yield stability, are creating value, both for their investors, and for Bitcoin itself. There’s a lot of demand for outpacing or minimising fiat inflation without undue risk - bonds of every duration have hundreds of trillions in them because of this. Satisfying this demand in a new and ethically sound way, with bitcoin as the base collateral, is valuable. Worthy goal, imo.

Different jurisdictions as well.<br/><br/>Strategy and Saylor are in a league of their own. The prefs are, if demand for them is sufficient, a way for Strategy to safely increase their leverage ratio significantly - from 20% to 50% or more. Longer term performance of #MSTR if they manage to maintain the higher ratio will likely be unprecedented. <br/><br/>I wonder if there’s been any discussion on the moat the size of the treasury gives BTCTC’s? To issue preferred equity? And how long can we expect demand for them to grow? How much demand is needed for MSTR to maintain the target leverage ratio - as it keeps getting harder the higher bitcoin goes, and maybe as the treasury grows? Just as the ATM runs into diminishing percentage returns, where are the capacity constraints for the prefs?<br/><br/>If demand for such prefs is constrained, then I could see the senior prefs of large BTCTC’s being more credit worthy as they are more over collateralised - which should give them a lower cost of capital. The actual moat advantage seems to have many variables - like varying demand for the different prefs along the seniority stack, saturation, etc.<br/><br/>Saylor and Mallers have my trust, and have had it since before BTCTC’s.<br/><br/>NAKA not so much - issuing equity to buy stocks of other BTCTC’s is one step too far! It’s like a crazy dilutive actively managed fund Frankenstein. 😂 <br/><br/>LQWD claims to use their treasury to provide lightning liquidity and earn 24% btc denominated yield, I think they’re unique in that. The smaller names may be interesting trades (minuscule allocs) if we get a BTCTC mania sometime, but there are so many now. Looks like we’re seeing the beginnings of it. 2025-08-31T16:37:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfqyslp6jnzcpcy4anl976ae58gjxls5ush5x0q2mp6f53vskfksczyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdj5dlwe0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsz4yg3g4f0qjthchxjzaughal9uhhhzqh2nr3qz0c8wsq7yhs87ggz9wz4p'>nevent1q…wz4p</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, true. Selling #MSTR to pay dividends is only sustainable if MSTR deserves a sustained premium over the price of Strategy’s total #bitcoin holdings (NAV). <br/><br/>Does it? I believe it does - if they can grow bitcoin per share and keep accumulating bitcoin. By how much, and for how long?<br/><br/>The preferred stocks have Strategy’s bitcoin as backing. This is Strategy using/leveraging their #bitcoin treasury to issue credit worthy debt. They aren’t just hodling their bitcoin. The difference between the cost of servicing this debt, and the returns of bitcoin accumulated from issuing this debt is their profit.<br/><br/>This profit can scale - if there is enough demand for the preferred’s.<br/><br/>This profit can last - for as long as the yield demanded for bitcoin backed credit instruments is lower than the growth rate of bitcoin price.<br/><br/>The common stock should therefore price this in as a multiple, and we have long term justification for it to trade at a premium to NAV.<br/><br/>In addition, index inclusion leads to a mNAV insensitive bid. ATM in this kind of rising mNAV environment - increases the floor to which MSTR can fall due to mNAV insensitive sells by index funds - and also increases their capacity to collateralise more issuance of the preferreds.<br/><br/>I don’t see this as a ponzi. It’s a legitimate way to get access to compounding bitcoin. Not priced in fiat, but getting a bitcoin denominated yield on a bitcoin treasury. That’s MSTR. It cannot last forever, and it cannot scale forever, but it could work for several decades, and it could grow to trillions. 2025-08-31T15:39:23Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvjlvhf2lvqagyjxskx625uct84w5j35ldugskypac50zes7kvg8qzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjl3wuza In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv3z7krgnc9chvat7a5009hcl2shrkx38uehtvxe5t9wfjp430sfs9rv7e3'>nevent1q…v7e3</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I lean towards lump sum, but ultimately am fine as long as the BTCTC has regular and aggressive buys, and they’re not exposed to fiat in significant quantities or durations. If bitcoin truly does around 30% per year for the next decade or more, both these strategies will likely be equally effective.<br/><br/>Jurisdiction dominance is more important for BTCTC’s, I think. MSTR has the USA, Metaplanet has Japan. No clear leaders in the others yet.<br/><br/>There’s more hostility than interest in Bitcoin treasuries here on nostr, from what I’ve seen. Wouldn’t expect anything less from the most hardcore Bitcoiners, who dominate this space. 😂 2025-08-31T06:59:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsgw27l6a9j3k6wct5p7gq432379te9glrx7cza5wqpuw4pmuacetgzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjlrh6km In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstuzavs6x354xj57kzstq6qh90ga4zgcslsag4zcml5suhdtq5jfceu6vx9'>nevent1q…6vx9</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>#MSTR needs the price of #bitcoin to keep going up to pay the dividends.

If they will succeed at doing this remains to be seen, so I would wait to see how it behaves during a drawdown before committing to it. Since your time horizon is 2–3 years, maybe you could wait a few months for the product to mature a bit. Volume and demand so far is promising, though.<br/><br/>If bitcoin experiences a 30% or more drawdown, I would expect the yield on STRC to go up. The market is currently not pricing the preferred STR’s solely on the basis of prevailing TradFi interest rates, but also as a function of BTC price and #MSTR sentiment and leverage. So if interest rates drop, the yield on #STRC may go down as well. The actual yield on STRC is likely to be way more volatile than money market funds.<br/><br/>The key point of STRC is to eliminate capital appreciation / depreciation due to interest rate risk. So minimising drawdown - this is the goal for STRC. With that, you forgo any capital gains as well.<br/><br/>I don’t agree with the comment about a bad ending waiting to happen or MSTR having expenses greater than income. If the CAGR of the bitcoin collateral is greater than the expense of servicing the preferred’s, that is a sound business model. 2025-08-31T06:32:19Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszfx2v0v8yayva8rdr6e4u3y73jqsu9r35k2d8ulve39yl5me9asszyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjmkkh46 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsgk9z64mpudgt6xgr4d9x74z503uthuvm94l0tv7sql93gw5axepgx5vj0q'>nevent1q…vj0q</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>The first rule of Bitcoin is that you don’t have any Bitcoin. 2025-06-17T02:10:01Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs80rdm5nhdc9u9m7r59g3mf4ez0ruwn02n2xflhknp7e0rsd7ky4qzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjwhn2jw In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswchfj70kh6dwlfzaljpntq5u3z6eyg4dyraxvkmddlxekfzlusuqe64mh8'>nevent1q…4mh8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Whatever ignites your passion and interest the most, that’s what I want to hear about.

If I buy 🍌 bananas from a fruit vendor, the bananas are separate from the money I pay for them, so either party CAN cheat, since I can take the bananas without paying, and he can take my money without delivering the bananas. It doesn’t happen often due to legal enforcement or social contract, but it always could. Since the transaction involves two separate exchanges, it is always possible for either party to get cheated.<br/><br/>The block, on the other hand, is an atomic event that enforces both exchanges simultaneously. The user gets his bitcoin transaction confirmed, and the miner gets the fees from the transaction - both in one event - the block is accepted, or not. If the block is re-orged, both exchanges are undone, simultaneously, and the transaction goes back to pending mode.<br/><br/>Is there any other transaction in the world that has this property? 2025-06-15T03:07:46Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8pffl0aquzudqdv87zeukq9qdvlwkg60w4j32v245kyqxvaq6ekszyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjd632gk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqstg8hpq0nhmxvn5qsnnnz8wcy3n3y0ww9p0k0zhchxfevctxqh5nqwdw7a8'>nevent1q…w7a8</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I don’t have a straight answer to your question.

Due to the yield and liquidation preference, STRK will have a premium.<br/><br/>The Effective Yield of STRK drops as its price increases, and so does the percentage of STRK price with the higher liquidation preference. So, in general, we can expect STRK premium to decline as MSTR rises (not true when broad market interest rates and/or perceived credit worthiness of the STR’s changes).<br/><br/>Further, with a simplifying condition that MSTR remains at and then above 1000, and STRK is at 100, we get two long/short trades<br/><br/>-<br/>Short MSTR, long 10 STRK.<br/><br/>Short leg pays 1000 cash, and costs the Borrow Rate of MSTR.<br/><br/>Long (10 STRK) with the 1000 cash, so cost of position is covered. This position pays the Effective Yield of STRK.<br/><br/>All losses on the short position due to MSTR price rises are hedged by the long STRK position. If the STRK premium declines, there may be a small loss incurred. <br/><br/>In addition, maybe you could loan the long STRK position and earn the Borrow Rate of STRK. <br/><br/>Profit persists as long as<br/><br/> Borrow Rate (MSTR) &lt; Effective Yield (STRK) + Borrow Rate (STRK)<br/> <br/>- <br/>Short 10 STRK, long 1 MSTR<br/><br/>Short leg pays 1000 again, and costs the Borrow Rate of STRK in addition to the Effective Yield of STRK. <br/><br/>Long 1 MSTR with this 1000, loan the MSTR share. <br/><br/>If the STRK premium expands, the long position doesn’t fully cover the short position here, but STRK premium will likely decline as MSTR rises.<br/><br/>Profit persists until<br/><br/> Borrow Rate (STRK) + Effective Yield (STRK) &lt; Borrow Rate (MSTR)<br/><br/>-<br/>Equilibrium is when<br/> Borrow Rate (MSTR) = Effective Yield (STRK) + Borrow Rate (STRK)<br/><br/>At conversion and beyond, there should be short pressure on MSTR or STRK until this condition is met, causing the yield on lending your MSTR position to at minimum match the yield of an equivalent STRK position. <br/><br/>Even if, as likely, STRK costs more than 0.1 MSTR at 1000 dollar MSTR, the equilibrium condition just offsets by a proportional amount.

What we will see is diminishing volatility.<br/><br/>If adoption follows the s-curve, which we have strong reason to believe it will, we are - in terms of total world wealth - barely at the beginning. Easily below 1%. (1.3T of 900T)<br/><br/>Similar to all the shitcoins which clearly show exponential decay when priced in #bitcoin, the price of bitcoin should show decay in *volatility* while finding the underlying s-curve.<br/><br/>At sub 1%, the s-curve has barely started its exponential trajectory.<br/>Diminishing returns will occur only after the halfway mark of adoption.<br/><br/>As #JeffBooth so clearly explains, the 900T of world wealth will easily be twice that in a while, due to the unstoppable debasement of all fiat. It won’t stop there.<br/><br/>Bitcoin will gain as a function of both depreciating fiat, and increase in demand and adoption along the s-curve.<br/><br/>I have no frame of reference to guess what this will look like, anon.

This makes no sense. You could call this the censorship resistance budget, but it is not a budget, it is a market price.<br/><br/>There is no minimum average block reward under which bitcoin becomes insecure. At worst, transactions can be censored, but the security of coin ownership is unaffected. <br/><br/>The censorship resistance price is dynamic. If censorship occurs, it remains for the censored transactions to increase fees, to overwhelm the censors. The censor can never win for perpetuity, nor can the censored parties. 2024-03-18T02:32:38Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsg7f5x349efx4lxkla43fm7ek0fllnten56svhqcxfagcp0emsnfczyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjr533fu No market in human history has priced a good with a fixed supply till #Bitcoin.<br/><br/>All the charts we see, all of our intuitions about price movements - are based on pricing goods with a non fixed supply.<br/><br/>The final form of Bitcoin’s “price” chart will be, like Bitcoin, one of a kind. 2024-03-07T11:59:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqszsq9n095c39rh9tpn7lfjwc5r2qsld2u4qtyhlyuyu9sx8ls5n9czyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjwp56f0 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqs67xn677kczsz9l3pjruqgljffxq2v0ar43ka3qtzq3q2chyrqq4pun2z'>nevent1q…un2z</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Analysing the storyline of a movie will not help to recognise the nature of the movie screen.<br/><br/>Analysing objects are useless to recognise the nature of space.<br/><br/>Analysing space and time are futile to recognise the nature of consciousness.<br/><br/>Analysing consciousness is futile to cognise the Absolute. 2024-01-23T23:11:28Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs88tkfw85l26k7fxyha6qj4kal8a6hd8hrvkvr02amywyfhmyptxgzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjmp887j In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0qgtzhv9pz4p5w36w8yrn68mt6h7yfqatghfgp8p9z687mmcsrpccqzqlr'>nevent1q…zqlr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Transferability and verifiability are where it leaves gold in the dust. 2024-01-17T02:44:49Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqzchen2xfrfn5hl2weh0gk33rnqf5ahsxdsk8zveh6a9uf2hw83gzyzltk9x9psf9n3hywqckh3y30gs3dx2mrzmflcpv528qh04spmfdjldkrqp Holding your own keys gives you ownership of all future forks.
