Even after if I was a full maxie, I considered buying MSTR, but finally realized that was just FIMO. What kept found something in my head was Michael Saylor rationally and logically making the case for why Bitcoin was the ultimate pristine asset. And everything he said checked out so why would I not just buy Bitcoin and why would people buy MSTR?
As my hand hovered over the Buy button to give Saylor my money, I realized there was a very legitimate reason for someone to buy microstrategy, but it wasn't for me. I can buy Bitcoin through the kyc or none kyc methods, manage it in a hot wallet or cold wallet, use lightning or liquid, run my own node and transactions. Most people can't.
Not to say I'm so great, but it's that just most people have not had the compulsion to dig that much into Bitcoin. Saylor provided them away to take advantage of Bitcoin's vakue without having to spend as much time learning about it and how to use it. There is value in that and Saylor was providing that value to certain people. In the end though, it was really no different than buying Micro Strategy, Tesla, Amazon, or a penny stock: outsourcing the hopeful appreciation of the monetary value you put into the system. Either I believed in Bitcoin more than a man, or I didn't.
