TJ "The fact that, just a month ago, MicroStrategy’s CTO attempted to convince shareholders that today’s events would never come, " {My SIL used to read cards} The guy is a moron! If by some grace of god it works out that has nothing to do with brain power. With blood in the water the sharks will figure out a way to strip him. "BTC would have to fall to $3500" what a lying shitbag. Obvisously this is garbage: "MicroStrategy's #1-rated Embedded Analytics platform provides faster in-context insights and analysis in any application and on any device." MicroStrategy is an enterprise business intelligence (BI) application software vendor. Its flagship platform contains multiple features designed to help enterprises make data-driven decisions and optimize business processes. Their software is proven worthless as they cannot even run their own company on it.

MicroStrategy CEO: I can't come up with a better investment idea than Bitcoin Jun. 15, 2022 10:59 AM ET MicroStrategy Incorporated (MSTR) COIN, RIOT, MARA, BTC-USD, ETH-USDBy: Brian Stewart, SA News Editor 107 Comments Joe Raedle/Getty Images News MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor defended his company's massive bet on Bitcoin ( BTC-USD) in the face of a substantial market downturn that has taken the cryptocurrency to its lowest level since late 2020. "Over any timeframe, ... Bitcoin is the best performing asset. I can't come up with a better idea," the head of MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR) told CNBC. Saylor argued that over the long haul, Bitcoin offers a significant way to preserve value, even if its near-term price sees significant ups and downs. "If your time horizon is one month, Bitcoin looks like a volatile asset. If your time horizon is 10 years, it looks like a risk-off store of value," he contended. The MicroStrategy CEO compared Bitcoin to real estate and certain trophy assets as "scarce desirable property." Saylor added any Bitcoin investor should target a timeline of at least four years. Less than that, he argued, a holder of the cryptocurrency becomes a trader, subject to short-term volatility. "I don't think you should trade anything unless you're a professional," he said. "So, my advice to anybody investing in Bitcoin is unless you're a professional high-speed trader with proprietary software, you ought to hold it for at least four years." In terms of his company's Bitcoin holdings, Saylor said concerns about a margin call for loans collateralized by the cryptocurrency have been "much ado about nothing" that has only served to make the CEO "Twitter famous." "We feel like we have a fortress balance sheet we're comfortable with and the margin lot is well managed," he concluded. MicroStrategy ( MSTR) holds more than 129K in Bitcoin ( BTC-USD) purchased for a total of about $4B. The stock has been hit hard by the recent meltdown in the crypto market. While the software company has non-Bitcoin cash flow from its core operations, it has become closely associated with crypto in the minds of many investors. As Bitcoin approaches $20K and other big-name cryptos, like Ethereum ( ETH-USD), suffer large-scale declines, MSTR has plunged 70% so far in 2022. It has been joined by other names closely associated with the crypto market, like Coinbase ( COIN), Riot Blockchain ( RIOT) and Marathon Digital ( MARA).
