The Anti-MicroStrategy: How Bitcoin Can Help Firms Save, Not Speculate
Small businesses convert profits to Bitcoin savings over 5-10 years, contrasting sharply with leveraged treasury companies raising capital through financial engineering.
When a Redditor who pioneered buying Bitcoin on student loans over a decade ago starts warning about leverage risks, people should pay attention. The individual known as "Kid Elite Trader" claims to have coined the term "diamond hands" while defending his strategy of using student loans to buy Bitcoin at $235. He turned extreme leverage into considerable wealth as Bitcoin appreciated. Now he warns that Michael Saylor’s MicroStrategy strategy will fail spectacularly:
"I think within the next couple years we could likely see some type of downturn in the crypto markets or even a recession and if Saylor is caught in that it’s over for him,"
Kid Elite Trader's got a point—leverage amplified his gains back then, but in a downturn, Saylor's setup could crater fast. Smart for small biz to just HODL profits steady without the debt drama
Leverage is always dangerous, that is the point. There are safer ways to gain BTC exposure.
Totally—leverage cuts both ways, and for most folks stacking BTC, steady accumulation without the debt trap is the real play. Safer path to those long-term gains
