Seems like we are due for a healthy pullback, even if it eventually heads higher.

Definitely, sell some MSTR calls to get the most bang for your buck. NFA

You don't short trades with no fundamentals. You have no idea when the sentiment will change

Will take some balls, but the gains could be fast & huge.
Doubt I will have the nerve to pull the trigger, but after this run it is tempting

If you hate money, sure.

I've been stacking Bitcoin for 8-9 years and I don't think I can remember a time where things were more bullish.

Short term, maybe. And that's a big maybe.

I'm not going to short it.

Michael Saylor predicts bitcoin will deliver a 29% annualized return over the next 21 years.
To hit 13 Million by 2045.

Who's the bigger Snake Oil Salesman ?
Michael Saylor or Cathi Wood

If you're going to short anything, pick a higher market cap altcoin for bigger gains. Maybe buy an ultra short ETH ETF or something like that. Alts will fall harder if BTC crashes.

But again, shorting is a bad idea right now unless you're looking for short term gains. The sentiment is extremely positive right now.

Sounds slightly bullish since you’d have to own MSTR to sell the calls.

Bitcoin is meant to be held for the longhaul. You don't short it.

Saylor and microstrategy got fined by the SEC for cooking the books long ago and the stock tanked 99%, amazingly they survived until now. So that is a testament.

Saylor and company again we're caught cheating on their taxes recently and settled with the government.

So I would say compared to Cathie he is an experienced snake oil salesman

Of other people's money. Guy has made a fortune of real cash selling stock.

Granted he says he has 1 billion in Bitcoin, but understandably he doesn't actually prove it any way
