Phase one: buy for yield. Phase two: add leverage. Phase three: bet on price appreciation. @ramahluwalia says Strategy is deep in phase three, and that's where the deleveraging risk lives. @austincampbell @perkinscr97 📊🎧

The Zcash story reads as a win. Claude found the bug. An emergency upgrade patched it. Zcash rebounded 42%. @ramahluwalia frames it differently: one discovered fraud makes investors question everything else in the category. w/ @austincampbell @perkinscr97 📉🔍 youtu.be/LG0X_A6Igyc

New @bitsandbips Interview with @Steven_Ehrlich: two DOJ prosecutions are reshaping what “insider trading” means on prediction markets — and neither looks like the cases most people have in mind. Sam Enzer maps the actual charges (commodities fraud wire fraud), why the Santos case fits scalping theory better, and why the CFTC vs. state gambling fight may end at the Supreme Court. 🏛️🎧 Timestamps: 🏛️ 03:02 The two DOJ cases that just put prediction market traders on notice 📜 05:49 Why "insider trading" isn't actually a legal term, and why that matters 💡 11:49 Three scenarios where trading on an information edge is perfectly legal 🎭 15:32 The George Santos bet: closer to scalping than insider trading? ⚖️ 26:46 Why Kalshi may dodge the need for a gambling license 📉 34:41 The Strategy Polymarket bitcoin dispute: trade date vs. disclosure date 🚨 45:29 Expect more enforcement: what these two cases tell us about what's next

Strategy sold Bitcoin in May but disclosed it in June. The Polymarket market on that sale resolved to no, and the oracle deciding it may have nine controlling wallets. Sam Enzer on the dispute nobody fully priced in. @bitsandbips @Steven_Ehrlich 📉 youtu.be/Rlipy8IhkiI
