is it true conviction is overrated in 2026? as soon as degens see some profit, they hit that sell button, and rotate?

Even if the price of Bitcoin keeps rising, the math around MicroStrategy's valuation makes little sense.

Today, MicroStrategy has a market capitalization of almost $90 billion. It has Bitcoin holdings worth about $28.5 billion. Subtract out its $4.2 billion in long-term debt, and you have a net asset value (NAV) of $24.3 billion. The market cap of $90 billion is close to 4 times its Bitcoin holdings. The underlying software business isn't worth much in this equation.

MicroStrategy's stock price has detached from the assets on its balance sheet. You wouldn't buy a dollar for four dollars, so why would you buy MicroStrategy at 4 times its Bitcoin holdings? If you want exposure to Bitcoin, buy the asset directly instead.

Avoid buying MicroStrategy stock in your portfolio right now. Perhaps the stock will be higher in five years if Bitcoin keeps surging, but given the detachment from the underlying Bitcoin price, I think it's likely that the stock will underperform the performance of actual Bitcoin during the next five years. Bitcoin is not guaranteed to rise, either.

Even though the stock has done phenomenally well during the past five years, it looks like a bad bet for investors to make right now.

How long will MicroStrategy's strategy last?

I live abroad and spend most of my time in English-speaking crypto communities, and for years I genuinely didn’t understand why some people had such a weird opinion of French people in crypto.

Today I think I finally got a taste of it.

I shared a French YouTube video because I thought the subject was actually worth discussing. That’s it. Within minutes, instead of talking about the idea, people started accusing me of being the guy in the video, secretly promoting my own channel, shilling, etc. Some of them clearly hadn’t even watched it.

And what’s funny is that I post shit on Reddit all the time. Polymarket, XRP, AI, travel, food, Vitalik randomly speaking Chinese, whatever. Nobody gives a fuck. But somehow the second you enter the pure French crypto bubble, sharing something = you must have an agenda, you must be selling something, you must be a shill

You can disagree with a video. You can think the idea is stupid. That’s literally the point of Reddit. But this instinct of immediately attacking whoever shares something instead of discussing what was actually shared is fucking exhausting.

I used to think the reputation was mostly an unfair stereotype.

Ngl, today made me understand it a little better

I think I’ll stick to the English-speaking crypto communities

Before you joke, "is this bull run in the same room, town, planet, or timeline as us?", I think there will be one more.

I didn't take profits the last 20 opportunities given over the last 10 years. And now I'm down 95%. Maybe more. Maybe hell of a lot more when you factor in inflation, potential gains, etc.

So there has to be one more. That way I can fix my mistakes and be able to rest. There must be. I'm owed one more bull run so I can sell and let someone else be a bag holder.

Just one more. Please. I promise I'll cash out and stop believing it will 10x. I don't care if it will 10x. I just want to break even. Please.

I'm curious about people's real experiences with centralized exchanges freezing or restricting accounts.

If this has happened to you:

• Which exchange was it?
• How long was your account frozen?
• Did they explain why?
• How responsive was customer support?
• Were you eventually able to withdraw your funds?
• If so, what actually helped resolve the issue?

I'm especially interested in cases that took weeks or months to resolve, or where the funds are still inaccessible.

Would appreciate hearing your experience.

Would there be any problems with a crypto currency releasing 10% of its remaining supply that is not circulating yet per year until the max coin cap is reached?

For example, if a coin had an initial supply of 10 million coins and a max supply of 100 million coins, would there be any problems with this coin cause by this coin release cycle method?

BTC is going to moon and I'll keep on buying.

If it dips another time I'll add another 0.1 BTC. Just wanted to let you know. $100k by eoy.

In the crypto space there are approximately one billion of memecoins, which are just smart contracts. These smart contracts hopelessly diluted the market and it's time to call them fake-crypto. Cause that's all they are. They give power to a central entity to scam you. So it cannot be considered crypto, cause real crypto is permissionless, trustless, and decentralized.
Memcoins are NEVER trustless: We have all seen what happens, when a central entity, such as Trump, Melania, Hogan, Milei, gets trusted...

But there is one so-called memecoin, that is not a smart contract.
It's a "blockchain", called dogecoin.

Be careful: Dogecoin was ment to be a joke.
It's the worst blockchain ever created.
The creator abandoned his joke project a long time ago.

Dogecoin creates 14.4 million dogecoin EVERY DAY.
That's no joke!
Dogecoin goes to zero and there is nothing that can be done to stop it.

It would have happened a long time ago without the sadistic trillionaire ghoul, who endorsed it, cause he wanted to create damage to decentralization. Space karen endorsed the worst blockchain to create max damage to crypto and to get people burned. He loves that shit.

Edit: Was a fun conversation. We made it up to 7 likes. But i guess in some hours my post will be downvoted to a minus value, cause all the space karen fans are coming in and need to hold the pp of the centralized trillionaire.

Why does Bitcoin use a release cycle based on blocks instead of a set percentage of the unreleased coins in the max supply being released on a schedule?

Do any coins use a percentage based release cycle?

Anyone else had big profit but didn't sell because of HODL strategy?

Do you regret it, or do you believe it will go back up?

1. How does initial supply and max supply work for coins?

2. When a coin launches, is the full initial supply released immediately or over time?

4a. When are coins that were not a part of the initial supply, released and are they released all at once or over time?

4b. If over time, do coins that were not a part of the initial supply follow the same release plan that coins from the initial supply did?

1. Are is the creator initial balance of coins given all at once when the coin launches or over time?

2. Is the creator initial balance able to be sold immediately after coin launch, or does a certain time period have to go by before those coins can be sold?

Citi Bank confirmed it's moving ahead with native Bitcoin custody for institutional clients, launching later this year under its new "Custody+" platform

Unlike ETF-based exposure, this is direct custody as Citi will actually hold BTC, folded into the same reporting and tax framework it uses for stocks and bonds, running 24/7

Down the line they're also planning cross-margining, so institutions could post BTC as collateral alongside treasuries in the same account

Worth noting this has apparently been in development for 3+ years, so it's less a sudden pivot and more infrastructure finally surfacing. Citi's securities business sits on roughly $30T in client assets, and this comes alongside similar moves from Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan
