ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

Either the common shareholders get screwed or the preferred shareholders get screwed.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

But one way or another, one of them has to lose because the third category of Bitcoin gets screwed does not work.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

That does not work.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

You cannot sell Bitcoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

If you are selling Bitcoin, the whole system breaks.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

So I think that's the lesson he's learned.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

And he's ultimately going to have to choose one of two bad options.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

Now, at the end of the day, Bitcoin is largely fine, which of those two he chooses, right?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

So the whole industry is large, like, you know, if he screws over the thresholders, then okay, that removes part of your financing.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

You can't really, you know, lever up and go use it to buy more Bitcoin, but at least you're not selling any Bitcoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

And so, okay, you're solid.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

We can count on you.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

You're not marginal sell pressure, but-

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

Now, if he dilutes the common shareholders, then, okay, the premium goes down, the NAV goes down, and then that really screws over a much larger holder base, but also is harder for him to be able to justify going back above NAV in the future and getting the whole system running.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

So it's genuinely a difficult situation.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

And when you have multiple...

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

multiple categories of shareholders who are not completely aligned with each other, which you have here because he's issued so many different instruments over the years, you're going to naturally have these kind of conflicts where it's kind of zero sum.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

Do the common shareholders get screwed or do the preferred shareholders get screwed?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

But I think he's learned you can't screw Bitcoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Bitcoin’s Confidence Game | Bitmine’s ETH Bet | Token Rotation | U.S. Perps

If you screw Bitcoin, you're screwing yourself.
