@SnappaHQ is making a calculated long-term move that should pay off very well.

There is no greater form of entrenchment into the existing financial rails than what is starting to take place with corporate balance sheets. The first mover advantage on this is going to set-off a chain reaction that most market participants are very unprepared for. https://t.co/tx2W9WqjAZ

Here is the third company I know of choosing to convert their reserve assets from dollars to Bitcoin.
Still don't believe this will become a popular trend for some time, but the thesis laid out shows incredible macro understanding.

they're really desperate, because btc is at its all time high since 2017 - I mean I wouldn't buy much at this moment, its rather better idea to buy on the dip

How does he list Bitcoin as B in durability while gold is A+ ?
A bitcoin is 100% durable, it cannot break down. Gold can and does decay (at a very very slow pace). So Bitcoin has A+ and gold A

More adoption makes Bitcoin easier to adopt for the next guy and harder to adopt for competitors. It's a positive feedback loop for Bitcoin and a vicious negative feedback loop for competitors.
Decentralized money, without force, is all or nothing. You either put all your money into the best network or you lose money in opportunity costs.

Bitcoin has the brand name. Nothing new here. Until something creates big scale real world utility and dethrones it, it will likely still be the king of crypto.

When noobs that aren't even in crypto space yet, see an altcoin create actual utility that will create massive demand. The utility we see right now is only demonstrable within the crypto community. We had a bullrun in 2017 with nothing but speculation. Do you think that Bitcoin will still be no 1, if the above scenario plays out?

They wrote the article themselves. It's self-congratulating, padded with idiomatic phrases and adverbs. Anyone can do this, but please run it though a 2 cent gramma checker first.

News like this is actually huge. It means that there is less Career Risk to using Bitcoin as a part of your capital allocation strategy. Wonder how long it will be until the first central bank announces it has been accumulating BTC
Just sit back and watch the dominos fall

I think his write up is on point/ but let’s not forget to give credit where it is due... talking about going down the ‘rabbit hole’ early on followed by a discussion on what is money etc- this is the pitch Andreas antonopolous uses on some of his early talks.
Not saying this guy isn’t doing the right thing for his company- but his realization almost sounds like that of video antonopolous in written form.

Gradually, then suddenly.
There will be many large companies adopting this strategy in the months and years to come.
This is pure pragmatism in the face of a weakening U.S. dollar.

Bitcoin is a finite commodity, wouldn’t large purchases of BC by multimillion dollar companies make the resource scarce? Scarcity breeds more demand, greater demand makes prices go up

A large purchase? Sure.
But the word "large" is relative. Even if a company came along and purchased a billion dollars worth of bitcoin, that would only be a 0.46% increase in market cap (give or take).
MicroStrategy bought $250m of Bitcoin. That's 1/4th of 0.46%.
None of these purchases are truly large. Expecting a price surge is missing the point. This is important for mainstream adoption, not for the short term increase in value.

The price isnt surging because people are selling about as much as people are buying, yet the bitcoin community just wants to talk about the buying.
Big companies with big purchases isnt mainstream adoption. Bitcoin isnt accessible enough for the masses. People cant have their financial security so precarious that a forgotten password or a shut-down exchange wipes them out. But the federal reserve will work out those kinks when they release their cryptocurrency, and then you'll behold what "mainstream adoption" truly looks like

What does any of that have to do with your statement that it's "odd how the price isn't surging with these large purchases"?
These aren't large purchases, and the price isn't expected to surge.

Its debatable I suppose that hundreds of millions of dollars is "large", however whats not debatable is that, without selling, we would be seeing a correlating rise in the price.

Well Bitcoin is up 20% over the 1 month. So I'm not sure what you are expecting. Is BTC supposed to double through?
How much do stocks go up on good news, 3%?
You're a troll, buddy.

With all thats happened so far in 2020, I'd've thought BTC wouldve gained more than a belated 20%. I wonder where BTC would be right now without the trillions in USD money expansion.
1
CraftyMuthafucka

Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.
If you look at long term logarithmic regressions, BTC is still within the fair price zone. It's not really undervalued or overvalued based on historical non-bubble data.
As for the money expansion, most of the QE goes into buying back treasuries. That money won't ripple effect into other markets for a while. The only money that could legitimately be used to buy Bitcoin would be the stimulus package payouts to individuals. That's a drop in the ocean though.

What the fuck is their revenue, and how much bitcoin are they buying? 2 very elementary things that did not even get a mention in this simplistic article.

The cofounder claims in a previous article that they hit [$1 million in ARR](https://chrisgimmer.com/marketing-flywheel/) (annual profit/initial investment) & in this article they claim to put 40% of their cash reserve into BTC, but we don’t know the exact number of BTC they purchased.

Sweet they probably have about 0.1 BTC with all the $1000 of revenue theyve earned over the years and now pump this article out for marketing from you suckers. Good post about bitcoin, but be honest this is purely bitcoin shilling and maybe an attempt to get sales from indoctrinated bitcoiners. In all honesty I would bet they have less than 3 BTCs

The irony that you commented this in a submission that's shilling bitcoin.
The guy bought some bitcoin and after that decided to shill his bags, hoping to sell higher eventually.

ARR expressed this way is not profit. ARR expressed in dollar terms is "Annual Recurring Revenue." Basically, it's "What are we bringing in at the moment, and how much would it be if we sustained that for the whole year?"
So this is a company *hoping* to have $1 million in revenue a year. None of that indicates that they make any profit or have much (if anything) in reserves.

Curious how they grew from $180,000 to $1M in less than 60 days.
