🚨 Why is the entire market FUDing Michael Saylor and Strategy?
🔴 Recently, there's been a lot of FUD surrounding Saylor's model and how it will impact the market in the upcoming period; I've summarized it for you to grasp easily. 🔴 Since yesterday, the stock $STRC of Strategy has been facing major issues as the price has plummeted to the 82 - 86 USD range, much lower than the target of 100 USD. 🔴 $STRC is the tool that helps Michael Saylor raise money from investors to buy more #Bitcoin. When $STRC is above 100 USD, the Strategy can easily issue more shares to accumulate BTC.
🟢 This milestone was achieved at block 939,999, mined by the Foundry USA team. 🟢 The current circulating supply of $BTC exceeds 95.2%.
🟢 The mining of the first 20 million BTC took over 17 years. Due to the halving mechanism, the remaining 1,000,000 BTC will take approximately another 114 years to mine, expected until the year 2140.
🔴 Today $OP reached an all-time low below $0.13 after information emerged that #Base is leaving Optimism's Superchain to develop its own technology infrastructure, instead of continuing to build on the OP Stack. At the same time, the funding rate in the market has also dropped to an extremely low level.
🔴 Notably, #Base was previously the largest revenue contributor to Optimism among all L2s using the OP Stack.
