⚯ Michel de Cryptadamus ⚯<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MicroStrategy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MicroStrategy</a>'s “bitcoin strategy” is going fully pyramidal. The company has spent $33 billion on bitcoins now “worth” roughly $41 billion over the past 5 years (at least $7-8 billion of those bought with borrowed money). Now <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MichaelSaylor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MichaelSaylor</a> just announced a $21 billion sale of their special new <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/STRK" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#STRK</a> perpetual strike “stock” (different from the regular stock, which is <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/MSTR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MSTR</a>) to buy even more bitcoin. Note that the market cap of MicroStrategy is ~$60 billion, so that's a sale of 1/3rd (sort of - STRK isn't exactly a share of stock).Paraphrasing Dan Davies here, something along the lines of “the nature of fraud is to expand until stopped by an external force”…<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/fraud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fraud</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/stockmarket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#stockmarket</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/economics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economics</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/economy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#economy</a>
