 MSTR debt is an exploit for fixed income to flee the fraudulent treasury bond Ponzi.

Their ship has a hole in it. If the Feds don’t plug the hole, it could sink the whole ship.

And this is just one company. What happens if Apple, Google, Microsoft start doing the same thing…

So what can the Feds do? Maybe change fixed income rules so the only thing they can buy are treasuries? 6102? Seems like checkmate already. 
 They can pull the switch at any moment on MSTR since it's just another fiat asset  
 MSTR has to be the front for the US Gov. 

The Feds shut shit down all the time whether it’s against the law or not - you don’t get to act in unapproved ways no matter who you are.

That he is doing this, at this scale, now, tells me there is State backing behind this. Whether MSTR is 6102ed or nationalised or god knows what; we’re not seeing the full picture and that is intentional. 
 IIRC, Booth says something similar about Tether. 
 Haven’t heard that but yeah same principle at play. 

You don’t become a Top 20 US bond buyer in the world as an unsanctioned offshore entity in the fiat system, without having the blessing of the State and friends in high places to enable things. 
 Exactly 
 Could be some kind of deal where the USgov gets to keep the 160k Bitfinex coins in exchange for giving tether a green light 
 That million btc SBR is gonna come from MSTR and all the ETFs. I doubt they'll seize it directly, but its already on shore and under their power, so a simple rule that the gov can use it in an emergency is really all that's needed. If it's not a rule already...
