    I've got a couple of neighbor boys that run their own lawn care business during the summer. I bet they have some bitcoin. You should add them to the list of companies using crypto as a reserve asset.

    You should continue to ignore a trend. Public company buys $250m of btc as reserve asset =/ neighbor boys.

    Last week Jeff Booth, serial entrepreneur who serves on multiple boards, said this is a board level conversation at multiple public companies. Probably nothing though.

    You know the guy whose tweet you posted is the CEO of a clip art start up, right? It's not publicly traded and their creditors will likely have to open wallets after attaching their bitcoins in bankruptcy. I get that he cited MicroStrategy's investment in his blog, but you're being intellectually dishonest by replying to my joke by hoping people infer from your response that Snappa is a publicly traded company with $250m of crypto reserve.

    I know that Snappa is not Microstrategy. Is that the point of your post? Consider it made.

    One public company is holding half of its cash in an 11 year-old digital asset. Multiple other companies are doing the same thing. Instead of being a disingenuous twat with the neighbor boy lawn mower comment, you might want to think a bit about why this is happening. Or don't. Doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.

    I knew you knew Snappa wasn't Microstrategy.

    That's why I said you were being intellectually dishonest.

    I was making fun of you for citing a tiny start up's blog on why they were investing in BTC and you vaguely referred to Microstrategy.

    I think you hoped people wouldn't look into it and think Snappa was another public company making a big investment in crypto.

    Even if that's wrong, and you were just lazy making a complete argument, you were making a strawman argument.

    Yes my grand plan is to trick people on TMB into thinking a 7 person Canadian start up is a public company. Ya got me.

    For intellectual dishonesty, keep making snide comments about the neighbor lawn mowers though.

    I haven't checked my crypto accounts in years so I stumbled upon them yesterday. Most of my shit coins are worthless, however I do have some ETH and LTC. Converted all my shit coins on binance to BNB for now. I do have 1600 of whatever LEND is that seems to actually be worth something. I'm guessing I should consolidate all of this into either ETH or BTC?

    If you’re not trying to time alts Eth and btc are about as “safe” as it gets in crypto. Hard to see eth staying down with all the defi stuff running on eth.

    To follow up on your "clip art start up" disingenuous comment, Snappa has $1.5m in yearly revenue. Launched in November 2015.

    Kinda like the neighbor lawn boys I guess.

    “We just had the awful realization that we were sitting on top of a $500 million ice cube that’s melting,” Saylor said. MicroStrategy has settled on bitcoin as the treasury alternative.

    “This is not a speculation, nor is it a hedge, OK,” said Saylor. “This was a deliberate corporate strategy to adopt a bitcoin standard.”

    Wow going down the old Winklevoss road again? How'd that work out last time?

    Cramer advocating it is the biggest sell signal I've seen you post yet.

    Is it a public company buying $425m of beanie babies?

    Your homework is taking awhile. When can we anticipate your completion?

    You, an idiot: stop shilling tmb posters on btc.

    Market: public company buys $425m of btc to serve as reserve asset.

    It will never not be funny that you think I give a single fuck whether anyone on this board buys btc when there’s a public company CEO so far down the rabbit hole he just spent $425m of his cash on it.

    lol you're an emotional shill. Worst kind. $425M is bird droppings in the grand scheme of things. I suggest that for your sake you revisit the risk-asymmetry in the Bitcoin and crypto in general. Maybe overlap the S&P 500 with the Bitcoin and take a look. You are now assuming full risk of holding digital beanie babies with none of the upside. The banks and rich people control the crypto now (perhaps they always have?). You are at their mercy. Jim Cramer can't wait to dump his bags on you.

    But have they considered the fact everything good about bitcoin isn’t actually good if you turn your cynicism meter up to 11?

    Public company just bought $425m of btc, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency has stated that national banks and savings associations can engage in crypto custody services for clients, Wyoming just approved a banking charter for Kraken, Fidelity launched a btc fund for wealthy investors, countless hedge funds and family offices hold btc.

    But ya sure it's totally going to get banned.
