Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

And then you hit the Rocky Mountains and it's like, oh, shit, I was not prepared for this.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

And the question is, how do you sort of, you know, moderate some of this volatility while you are structurally long term Bitcoin?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

I think the plan is, you know, you should have more of a, you know, insurance fund for this kind of thing.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

But ultimately, you know, if you're long strategy, probably you're buying stretch, you're also long Bitcoin.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

The question is, you know, why this instrument to express that view?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

Well, I see you wearing that jersey.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

And really the question is, do you want to be Brazil or do you want to be Argentina?

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

And those are kind of the two paths open to you.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

I think one is maybe, you know, short-term painful, long-term the better path.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

The other one is you kind of kick the can down the road a little bit more.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

I really am not the specialist, not the person to call when it comes to interrogating the psyche of Michael Saylor, which ultimately feels like you kind of have to understand and underwrite if you want to buy any of these assets.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

So I don't know.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

That's certainly an interesting area to specialize in in terms of the market, but...

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

I think if anything, again, I think you'd probably find some way to cover some of this short-term debt.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

And then, hey, maybe we just give ourselves a little bit more window and hope that Bitcoin goes up in that remaining window.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

Maybe he was Fable 5, you know.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

Maybe he had early Mythos access and that was what really designed Stretch.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

So people are underrating it.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

You know, we had an almost ASI level model designing this instrument.

Bankless
ROLLUP: Saylor Risk? | Warsh’s New Fed | SpaceX IPO | Coinbase’s Everything Exchange

Yeah, I think most of the critiques around Warsh were more, I felt like, aesthetic.
