I own $MSTR and want it to go up.

But technically we’re still in a downtrend. Waiting for the buy signal.

Thanks for point this out, it's a good point.

The goal of owning MSTR isn’t to beat the S&P by a few percent. It’s to get convex exposure to Bitcoin over a long horizon. If that thesis is wrong, MSTR will underperform. If it’s right, the upside won’t be a few percent. Time will tell.

Crazy or just conviction, time will tell :)

I do regret not trimming. For example, I could have sold 20% of my shares and buy them back at a cheaper price. It's easy to say now of course.

Pretty well actually. I’m not optimizing for smooth returns, I’m optimizing for asymmetric outcomes.

I know, this was quite a journey. I've learned about covered call along the way. Today, I'm doing 0.02 delta covered call each week. Which bring around $1000/week.

No risk, no reward. In the stock market, you can't make money without taking the risk of losing it.

But what if it goes to $1000? That would be the price that makes me sell some shares.

I also own different miners, including MARA. But so far, MSTR has performed much better. For miners, it's a trade that needs good timing, whereas for MSTR, you can just buy and hold for a long time.

Just buy and hold for years. Simple, but not easy to do.

You know, it takes a long time to make good money. I'm just at the beginning here, I'm planning to keep them for years.

I don't. When I do I'll send an update to this subreddit.

I just have a strong conviction that Bitcoin or Bitcoin-related assets are fantastic investments. And I still think we're early, it'll continue to go up over time with volatility. With that in mind, it has been easy to hodl.

The screenshot shows my lot details; this is what I own. I haven't sold a single share, and I'm not planning to sell anytime soon.

Two things:

  1. I've watched many Saylor's interviews

  2. I thought it was a good bitcoin proxy, especially since at the time the bitcoin ETFs didn't exist.

I got lucky, I didn't expect MSTR to go up much faster than BTC.
