Get advanced Bitcoin education here: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I examine common misconceptions about Bitcoin, by discussing the points raised in a thread by two people who are discussing Bitcoin hitting $100,000. I discuss whether Bitcoin is in a bubble, whether Bitcoin should be backed by gold or something else, and I also discuss how it is impossible "to miss the boat" when it comes to the opportunity to move your savings from a weak currency to a structurally stronger currency. I also compare Bitcoin ("the money protocol") to internet protocols like TCP/IP, which ..read more

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I discuss whether Satoshi Nakamoto's "Genesis Wallet" is close to being breached, with the result that over 1 million BTC will be stolen and dumped on the market. My conclusion is that this particular "news item" is the result of a trolling post about Kentucky fried chicken. BIP-39 wallets did not even exist in Satoshi's active years. I conclude by discussing HD wallets, recovery seeds, xpubs, Bitcoin addresses, and how they are related. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor. Report Claims Satos ..read more

The most common structure is to be long the convertible bonds and short the stock, in an effort to be delta neutral and profit mostly from gamma. Not investment advice! Consult a financial advisor.

There is also the risk that the ETF might not be able to get enough exposure for the next day, if MSTR experiences a volatile market close. In conclusion, leveraged ETFs are best used solely as intraday trading vehicles. If you hold them overnight or for multiple days or weeks, you will be exposed to volatility drag. MSTR could go to $5,000 over the next ..read more

Join Bitcoin University Premium: https://www.bitcoinuniversity.com/join In this video, I discuss various price targets for MicroStrategy's common stock, as well as what blowup risk might look like, if Bitcoin were to go down a lot and MSTR was forced to liquidate its BTC holdings in order to pay off bondholders. If BTC and MSTR rally a lot, this debt gets converted to equity, so I include this scenario as well, where shares outstanding increases. I also include a link to a spreadsheet that allows viewers to input their own assumptions when it comes to BTC price, mNAV, etc. Not investment advic ..read more

Convertible bonds are a strange hybrid of stock and bond, and include an embedded call option that allows holders to convert the bond to shares of stock, if the underlying stock is trading above a certain strike price. MicroStrategy's use of convertible bonds and other financing is one of the most amazing e ..read more

I discuss the risks of too much debt, as well as the risks from too much shareholder dilution from issuing new shares. MicroStrategy's current valuation is baking in the market's beliefs that BTC will continue to appreciate, and that MicroStrategy will continue to accumulate more BTC. This is why MSTR trades ..read more
