 For the $MSTR people, help me out with some stupid questions:

As I understand it, the $MSTR strategy ends when fiat is worth the same as sea shells and no one will sell their Bitcoin to nostr:npub15dqlghlewk84wz3pkqqvzl2w2w36f97g89ljds8x6c094nlu02vqjllm5m for them anymore.

What I'm not clear about is how to convert $MSTR to Bitcoin at that point? Or even leading up to that point? Why would anyone part with their Bitcoin after the strategy is played out?

And if those holding $MSTR then can't offload their stock for Bitcoin, yet $MSTR holds vast amounts of Bitcoin it will never sell, will that make $MSTR a currency?

Is $MSTR the Amsterdam Wisselbank of Bitcoin? Could it inflate the supply by issuing stock? Is this how Bitcoin becomes the reserve for a new fiat called $MSTR?

Perhaps these are moronic questions, but I'd love some serious answers 🙏
