He is building Bitcoin&#39;s yield curve.&#34;<br/><br/>Bitcoin has no yield, so building a yield curve just means reintroducing the credit-money stack that bitcoin was designed to retire: someone, somewhere, is now taking leverage and credit risk so that &#34;bitcoin&#34; can pay a coupon it cannot natively pay.<br/><br/>With MSTR and the preferreds, we are very much on a path towards what Jeff is describing:<br/><br/>1. Over time, more of the money that would&#39;ve just bought bitcoin buys<br/>the yield product instead, because it pays income and feels safer. At<br/>the margin, the preferred quietly becomes a substitute for buying<br/>bitcoin. Not in today&#39;s snapshot, but that&#39;s the direction every year<br/>this thing grows.<br/><br/>2. Strategy doesn&#39;t lend its coins, but the preferred itself becomes<br/>collateral out in the world. One coin sits reserved while the claim on<br/>it gets pledged and borrowed against again and again, in margin<br/>accounts and structured products. <br/><br/>3. Even if none of that happened: moving more and more coins off the<br/>network into a handful of company balance sheets, parked at two or<br/>three custodians, is centralization on its own. <br/><br/>These all contribute to the centralization of bitcoin when you have infinitely expanding claims on top of a fixed base. Eventually, when there is a bank run, the system tries to change the rules to stay solvent. Because of the nodes and the protocol, it will not succeed this time. 2026-06-15T06:12:18Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsvq9xw77p3sqad76yh9v53ukem9y9gen3y078rswy9hv2fnpnnphqzyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tj7qddqn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0dstakfntcyr35f8e92m74fzcznqcr9xj07qcf6tx474mwywmtfc4k0ha7'>nevent1q…0ha7</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>That’s my read on it, he knows what’s up, but also knows he must play the existing game and play it well to make the impact in the new game that he wants to make. <br/><br/>True for all of us to some extent. 2026-05-14T15:14:03Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsqclz7pc47d0kjznuq0fsjvhmspwmrt3r6lyffqs40rwrthasfllqzyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tje996rn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs04tfntqm6zqzxzta0kjje9yulkt6zlxrxggdkjnkxhhf3w46j6nczxe308'>nevent1q…e308</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It&#39;s the fight between centralization (i.e., serving fiat) and decentralization (i.e., being ourselves) - in all of us. 2026-05-04T15:15:35Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8p59ummkwu6wpwwg7uxm97u8fvvkz6kadcrvl35x7skher7c5n4gzyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tjs3wrgk In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsv8q33cwv6rxee04tl324muzlydm39fw2ah6xpuqyr5qnq8pltm3spzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgkphsra'>nevent1q…hsra</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’m frankly surprised to see people still trapped in left-right thinking on here 2026-01-25T06:59:49Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsyqnuyy5rtggj37ngagu94ncdrj059dhev2h46ecg3hlxyqe8ghvszyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tjxljpwa In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs0l3m03trrqgugcwn0m63umud02jz20uq23ulwfqdjftvp9v7u7ucgjtqxv'>nevent1q…tqxv</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>It’s humanity’s first universal source of truth 2026-01-16T15:18:26Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs8kn8tu5azwy3vzzvjgnw0aln2lqsndyah78t2tvthxwtmvr9anrszyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tj9ajuct In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsyj68e3chzajm7xa2nn7akvf50a00mnlnuleqapfl33hk3wsevwjspndmhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mp0y5erqamnwvaz7tmwdaehgu3wd3skuep0y5erqffjxpshvct5v9ez2v3swaehxw309ahx7um5wgh8w6twv5hj2v3sy5erqctkv96xzu39xgc8wumn8ghj7ur4wfcxcetjv4kxz7fwvdhk6te9xgc8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnyv9kh2uewd9hj7ffjxpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuumwdae8gtnnda3kjctv9ux387ak'>nevent1q…87ak</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>💯 2026-01-14T20:37:42Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsd6mjmfxwytmft5yr3r028qqjzjtk5l8eryt6k3k2e2knx6jt2x7gzyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tj7m6hg3 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfyy9f7k5jqe76c98hmwpn57alwlak33j54msfz3c9jgx6j64w38qpp4mhxue69uhkummn9ekx7mqsgdh89'>nevent1q…dh89</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Creativity + agency = superpower 2026-01-04T18:05:45Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs986y7v0c845ud8vxat6xgl0a8kyps8nhu4vm975d5dgzmhug2d5czyp73cgddxt0dvp0fl5j9x3ts4xayrvahjn4v5jk6jj23yqfar56tjnhv868 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9z8aexmmqa986afq0gk304wnxc0xs56q8y8k24qaty6gay9r5c9sppamhxue69uhkummnw3ezumt0d50r39rr'>nevent1q…39rr</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Where abouts in Asia?
