RT Hedgie (@HedgieMarkets)🦔I keep seeing people call Michael Saylor's Strategy a Ponzi scheme, so I wanted to walk through what's actually happening because the truth is more nuanced than the hot takes suggest.The Business Model and NumbersStrategy has no meaningful operating income. The company borrows money and issues stock to buy Bitcoin, then issues preferred shares that pay 8-10% dividends to fund more borrowing. That cycle works as long as Bitcoin keeps going up and they can raise capital. They hold 6 ...

I never expected I'd be part of a Ponzi. I never expected to lose money. You fantasize, you know, you fantasize about, well, maybe I can buy a bigger house or or maybe I can send my kids to private school, do things that, you know, you normally wouldn't do.But that made the pain more hard at the end.

Everybody Loves a Ponzi‘Perhaps there is still time to defeat history.’-Daniel OliverMr. Oliver must be an unreconstructed optimist. An un-mugged Democrat. A man enjoying his first vote…or his second marriage.The history he is referring to is the one we know so well.
