Excellent explanation of Howard Lutnick's kids' new "bitcoin acquisition SPAC" partnership with #Softbank and #Tether headed up by #JackMallers AKA "the crypto bro who cried on stage about El Salvador's bright new bitcoin future."

The venture is basically just another version of the #Microstrategy pyramid scheme, brought to you by the children of Trump's cabinet members.

p.s. the CFO of this new venture was formerly head of UBS #Russia.

2/ In other "crypto scammers visiting El Salvador to immanentize bitcoin fascism" news, #MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor, the man who owns more bitcoin than anyone (much of it bought with borrowed money in what will probably turn out to be history's largest pyramid scheme) flew to San Salvador to visit Bukele on February 13th.

Good overview of the insanity that is #MichaelSaylor's "buy billions of dollars worth of bitcoin with borrowed money" approach to financial engineering.

#GameStop will be “investing” some of the $4.6 billion cash pile it accumulated by dumping #GME shares on retail apes (who are tbh significantly dumber than crypto bros, which is impressive) into bitcoin.

This follows #MichaelSaylor of #MicroStrategy's entreaties to the company a few weeks ago, because pretty clearly Saylor’s #MSTR / #STRK / #STRF ponzi scheme is running out of steam and he desperately needs other people’s money to prop up the scam.

FT Alphaville weighs in on #MicroStrategy's bizarre new "strife" (#STRF) bitcoin accumulation strategy.

> "#MichaelSaylor has pitched it as a way to tap into the vast pool of fixed-income investors who generally prefer stability and predictable returns. Yet Strife offers neither. It exposes investors to bitcoin’s downside (since Strategy’s creditworthiness hinges on its crypto holdings) without giving them any upside if the cryptocurrency soars. The dividend is fixed, so if bitcoin 'moons', Strife holders are left watching from the sidelines. It’s like being invited to an all-you-can-eat buffet but only allowed to smell the food."

> "Buried in the fine print of the prospectus is a crucial detail: the board can suspend dividends altogether. It’s essentially a 'trust me' deal."

CoinGape · MSTR Stock Price Breakout Confirmed: Is A New ATH Just Around the Corner?By Pooja Khardia

One week ago #MicroStrategy (#MSTR, the world's largest pot of bitcoins masquerading as a publicly traded company) announced they were raising $21 billion (1/3rd of the entire company) via a new "perpetual strike preferred stock" called #STRK to raise cash to pump the price of bitcoin.

Today now suddenly they are announcing they will raise money via yet *another* financial instrument "strife" (#STRF) to pump the price of bitcoin.

absolutely wild. bitcoin cannot be "digital gold" if its price depends on the solvency of a single company (which it now does)
