Looks like someone else took that bullet first…

Holy cow man. This was an obvious trade. The percentage winning was a lot higher than 1 in 6. You have a company run by a con man trading at a massive premium to NAV while racking up debt it can't possibly repay without dilution, debt or dumping assets.

If btc had spiked to $150k or $200k this year, would’ve been a bad trade. Year long chopsolidation is what saved him.

It was obvious to just about everyone outside the $BTC treasury cult that $MSTR was incredibly overvalued. The only hard part was timing the trade.

a shorter like this is disgusting actually to me . But thats just me.

I used to believe that. The proof is in the pudding, though in hindsight, Chanos literally told us what he was doing. It made complete logical sense. All Chanos had to do was listen to Saylor and copy trade him. Wouldn't Saylor even be required to notify people as soon as he decided to sell btc and buy mstr? This is the only thing I haven't looked at yet. It feels as though Saylor would have an obligation to notify everyone (including Chanos et al) that the carry trade was about to go against them.

You do marketing, stay in your lane

💯🎯

Come on! Be gracious! Give @RealJimChanos his flowers! He won! I was hoping he lost but kudos to a hand well played

Except Saylor is pointing the gun at his shareholders and winning the money

Fake it until you make it or it’s over

Now play RR with bulletproof headgear. You'll get a headache, but will get to play again. That is closer to shorting.

Bitcoin WILL have the last word.

Survived luck masquerading as genius

Hahaha literally the opposite but nice try

Director of Marketing’s biggest accomplishment is quote tweeting a legend’s successful short

Horrible analogy

Oh the cope.

It will be nice to no longer have the cockroaches

The illusion is believing the gun was ever loaded.

Nah it was a good thesis

LMFAO. Have the balls to admit he was right about Saylor and MSTR over the last year. Your analogy is laughable.

This is the dumbest cope I've seen in a while

Or he was just a smarter individual?

Dumbass analogy. This trade went on for almost a year lmao #SaylorBoiCope

Now do George Soros, Hawking …. 🤡

Pseudointellectualism is a devastating disease

Jim chanos has been making money as a short seller since the 1980s. He doesn’t play Russian roulette. But why would you know that.

Man, THANK YOU. I've been laughing all day at the outcome bias on this topic. He only won because bitcoin has been consolidating for 7 months. Leading to MSTR inevitably leaking the premium they gained prior. BTC consolidation is a factor he didn’t even consider in his thesis.

Oh, I don't know about that. It's maybe the bulls whom you should be talking about. It's not like bitcoin is the safe bet. TBD.

Totally dude. Told the whole world he was playing it. Why he was guaranteed to win. Played it for almost a year. And won. Yes that is Russian roulette. You guys are getting cope-ier by the day

Thats pretty good odds if its just money and not your life?

He is doing it for quite some time

nope, his approuch countering exaggerated premium from above 2 to now 1.19 was anything but russian roulette. And honestly closing this trade short above 1 made sense as well.

It was an excellent trade!! You had the upper hand of $BTC always! Even better would have been 1. Short $MSTR 2. Long $BTC 3. Buy proceeds $STRC
