I haven't received any crypto related question for many many months, but today it happened. This is while Bitcoin is hovering around $104 k. Is retail entering? It was about something called: M3 MarsVerse. I don't know what it is and have no intention of finding out either. Told him to stay away. Don't think he'll listen. ☹️

Gucci desperate? $KER.PA Gucci and Kering not doing very well. Stock price is one indicator, this is another one. Almost a desperate move. Lets see if newly appointed creative director Demna Gvasalia can turn things around. I'm not a fan of Demna's clothes by any means, but there's no denying his massive impact on fashion the last 10 years. More so than any other designer during this period. His work at Vetements and Balenciaga will written about in books. Starting Vetements and taking it from nothing to the biggest hype in fashion in such a short period of time was an amazing feat. I don't think I've witnessed anything similar before nor after. And then taking Balenciaga from a sleeping brand no one was paying attention to to the most hyped one, surpassing even Vetements. The Kering group consists of more brands than Gucci of course, but Gucci's share of the revenues is above 40%. If Demna is successful here, Kering will probably be out of the woods. Not buying the clothes and not buying the stock. Speaking of, the only Gucci I care about, Gucci Mane! Legend! ❤️🙌

Strategy $MSTR - Q1 2025 Earnings Call This was interesting. Watched the whole thing yesterday. Yes, the complete two hours. Not only that, I think I'll have to rewatch it because it was packed with so much info it was a lot to take in. Especially if you were doing something else at the same time. The company is doing exactly what it should be doing: finding fiat money wherever it can in order to buy bitcoin. All fine and dandy. I don't really care if they show a profit or loss in the short term, new FASB accounting standards.or not. Even though the software part of Strategy is more or less a side business these days. I would have liked the software revenues to not decline 3.6% year over year as they did. No biggie though. I say this as a shareholder of Strategy. Where it gets a little more worrying is the concentration of bitcoin within one entity and with such a fierce pace. From an ideological perspective I'd prefer less concentration. How are they even able to buy such large amounts pf bitcoin outside of the open market (I'm guessing here), who are these people selling it to them and why? I sure ain't. When I bought the stock for the first time I could never have imagined the company would have acquired over 550 000 bitcoin some years later. It's truly astonishing how many they have now. During the last quarter Strategy have mostly been diluting shares in order to raise funds, taking on debt not so much. All things being equal I'd prefer more of a balance between the two. I'm guessing raising debt to buy more bitcoin is harder than anticipated. All in all I'm very happy with the company's performance. It has grown to become my largest stock holding by far. It passed Hermès $RMS.PA October last year. Hats of to Saylor and the rest of the company. Source:

Reuters: "Footwear brands including Nike and Adidas ask Trump for tariff exemption" It's tough out there for sure.

Worst single day ever for my measly portfolio. Not really worried though. Not a real problem.

More charities should accept #Bitcoin Not sure why there's only a few doing it, at least among the ones I'm interested of. They don't even have to handle a wallet if they don't want to. They could use something like BitPay. I'll email one or two and ask.

Not a real problem #Bitcoin Transactions are still flowing on the network, my nodes are up and running, my Bitaxe is hashing and the weather today is going to be good.
