Bitcoin is now at $95,000 while the AI trade is imploding.
One of two things will happen – either Bitcoin goes to infinity and drags the AI trade along with it.
Or Bitcoin and the AI trade both explode at the same time.
What I am calling “End of year meltdown”.

It blew past estimates, made $35 BILLION in Q3 revenues, up a mind-blowing 2,600% vs Q3 2016…and yet the stock is down in afterhours

It’s a Ponzi. 0% notes inflate stock, profit goes to shareholders, not noteholders.
It is a Ponzi. I don’t know how long the government is going to allow it to go on, but it is a Ponzi.
0% convertible notes (to suckers at the bottom of the pyramid) to buy more BTC, which inflates stock price so the profit goes to the shareholders, not the noteholders.

BTC Value per Share: $139.60Current Bitcoin price: $94,800
Conversion price: $767
This means investors are effectively paying $520,234 per Bitcoin.

Since MicroStrategy started accumulating Bitcoin:BTC backing per share: up by 565.5%
Which means the backing increases ~140% a year
That's… quite a lot pic.twitter.com/oT2RaKOkSr

At the beginning of this year, institutional investors started getting into BTCSince January 2024, they accumulated 1,056,506 BTC
It's 105,650 BTC a month

But MicroStrategy's strategy goes beyond just accumulation:Every new bond issuance:
– Increases Bitcoin holdings
– Boosts backing per share
– Compounds future returns
– Creates a flywheel effectThe 55% premium starts looking like nothing when you understand the mechanics.

$0 interest payments until 2029 smells sus
55% premium looks expensive.
$520,234 per Bitcoin seems crazy.But with 140% annual backing growth, investors aren't paying a premium.
They're like buying tomorrow's Bitcoin at a massive discount

"Saylor's strategy has involved using MicroStrategy's stock as a proxy for Bitcoin investment, often selling stock or raising debt to fund these Bitcoin purchases. This has been described as an "infinitely scalable" approach to capital allocation"… https://t.co/lhwK5b1mRF

A black-swan investor, Mark Spitznagel, says the stock market is heading for a historic sell-off, reiterating an uberbearish warning for investors who are getting comfortable with steady stock gains amid the frenzy over artificial intelligence.
In a recent interview with The Wall Street Journal, Spitznagel said the yearslong rally in the stock market amounted to the “greatest bubble in human history.”
But Spitznagel said the bubble — and the impact of its bursting — would be even more extreme this time around, as the government’s $34 trillion debt would make it more difficult for the Federal Reserve to turn the economy around in time to avoid a recession.
