A primary function of government is to establish clear legal ownership rights and enforce them - to protect people's right to their property. Not to steal it.
I said it in 2020 and I’ll say it again. If you leave a home empty long-term in the middle of a housing crisis, it should be seized. Today’s announcement is great news.

The Law of Small Numbers is just math. You can tell yourself all day that $MSTR will beat the price performance of $ASST and $SWC, but barring MAJOR mistakes from their management, if they just keep accumulating, they will have a higher growth rate and therefore a higher price appreciation. The math says $ASST will 2-3x $MSTR and that $SWC will 3-5x. I'm NOT saying this to shit on $MSTR. I think @Saylor is a visionary and will crush it for a company of his size. But there are second and third bests when it comes to price appreciation.

The attack on attention is the dark magic of our age, and most of the population is too deep into the trance to realize it. I don't think people understand that their attention is pure money. Cash, going directly into these apps' pockets, because you cannot opt out of the ads they've sold for you to see. Do you understand that they're selling your attention without your direct consent every second of every day? Do you get that they've gotten so good at ensuring you stay within that manufactured braindead trance-like state, that they are counting on you being an easy cash out at this point? Because they are. They're counting on the dollars they can bank off of your descent into degenerate illiteracy. And you need to prove them wrong out of spite. Your attention is much more valuable than you could possibly conceive of. It's the one thing on earth actually worth money by the minute in a capitalistic system that is failing to extract more profit from an already enslaved society. The only way they can secure more is by enslaving your mind in the hours you spend outside of the work that already demands your body and time as sacrifice. There is no vital energy left for you in this plan. Infinite scrolling is a spell with no natural end. Traditional media had a beginning and an end, while this is designed not to. There are no boundaries to how much of your energy it can harvest... it's like tapping into an infinite source, because you ARE infinite energy. A trance is characterized by absence, not being fully present in the moment even though your attention is occupied. When you come out of a trance, you do not feel energized, you feel drained, disoriented, like you've just lost time without meaning to. That is the very signature of their energy harvesting technique. Yes, these apps started as technology built by human engineers, but they've been fed so much collective attention that they have become their own egregore: a non-physical, autonomous group entity created by the collective thoughts, shared emotions, and sustained focus of a large group of people. It doesn't need its creators' intent to run dark magic on you; it can be leveraged and manipulated by darker entities that wish to keep this planet in the cycle of survival-based consciousness. The most sinister aspect of all this is that the time you're giving up is the one thing you cannot buy back. This keeps humans benefitting from capitalism happy, but it also satisfies the darker entities. The more time you lose from this lifetime, the less likely you are to make any meaningful impact on this planet and help it ascend into a higher state by simply existing and having a mind of your own. They are stripping you of your most valuable resource and you're just accepting it because it feels good to give in, but you are paying with your life every second that you do. With 6 hours of daily screentime, most people are gonna spend 17 years of their lives behind a screen. 4 hours of screentime per day gives these companies 2 entire months off your entire year. It is so much worse than you've convinced yourself it is. Stop normalizing this in your head and get serious about fighting this off, every second of every day if you need to. Be incredibly stingy with your attention and your ability to synthesize knowledge and preserve critical thinking. Expose yourself to different theories, ideas, and opposing points of view. Allow yourself to be challenged daily and most of all, steer clear of the black magic rectangle as often as possible. Read. Watch long movies. Spend time outside. Perform artsy, handsy crafts to keep your brain engaged and in a state of neuroplasticity. Be stubborn about living your life and claiming every second as yours, claiming your most precious resource as your own: your attention. I fully believe each soul alive at this moment in time is infinitely stronger than all of this and more than capable of overcoming it.
Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Use your phone less. Because attention is not free.

🚨 MOST PEOPLE IN WALES STILL OPPOSE INDEPENDENCE Rhun ap Iorwerth says there is “no turning back” on Welsh independence. But the latest Survation polling for YesCymru puts it at: 🏴 32% YES 🇬🇧 68% NO And there’s a huge fiscal question. Latest ONS figures show Wales had an estimated £22.8 BILLION fiscal deficit in 2024/25. That’s a gap of £7,149 per person between public spending and revenue raised in Wales. Plaid Cymru now runs the Welsh Government. The NHS is struggling. Education needs improving. The economy needs growing. Should they focus on running Wales before trying to break up the UK?

Not many people know that @asjwebley held a senior position for a decade at Hargreaves Lansdown - the UK's largest investment and savings platform, before starting @smarterwebuk I took a large position shortly after IPO when I looked him up on Linkedin and read this detail. It said to me that Andrew isn't just an opportunistic hedge fund exec, he understands the actual mechanics of how people save and invest, tax wrappers, pensions, IPOs, fund raising, product design, and the regulatory constraints. This is rare. Combine it with his honesty and integrity and to me it = unicorn CEO. Andrew barely ever mentions this detail, but I think it is very important for potential investors to know. He does however touch on it in this new interview with @TimKotzman You might want to share this post to let others know 😃 piped.video/aQssyRgJfNs?is=1o7P… via @YouTube

At some point the market will realise that companies like Strategy and Strive are not just predicting a $1,000,000 Bitcoin, they are engineering one. Every purchase tightens supply and every supply squeeze raises the price. A self fulfilling prophecy.

What a last couple of weeks. Lots of us stayed in the community through the bear market, lots of you just checked in occasionally, lots hid away, some even let there emotions get the better of them when Jesse was no longer with us. Some people trade the stock and are in the community, the majority are long term investors, some of you bought at IPO some are still in the red. I’m not saying the bottoms in but if we keep promoting SWC and MORE we are doing our bit to take SWC to the FTSE 100 and beyond. As investors and active on X over the coming months we need to maximise the exposure of MORE everywhere we can. We have a potential IPO that Andrew needs to raise over £10m for MORE, then we need to get that to par and then we need good liquidity. Everything we post, share and respond on to X will all go to making a difference in the success of MORE and in turn SWC. Let’s stick together and do everything we can to make this company even more of a success than it would be without our help. 🚂🇬🇧🇬🇧LFG! Chief 🕺🏼

$SWC.L | $TSWCF update. A month later we are up +123.85%. This is just the beginning. We now have official confirmation that the first GBP-denominated preferred, MORE, is on its way. Some have suggested the smaller UK market and thinner liquidity will make it hard to scale. I strongly disagree. The GBP fixed income market is approaching $5 trillion. Capturing even 1% of that is $50 billion, many multiples of the company's entire size today. More importantly for shareholders, size does not determine outperformance. What matters is the ability to raise capital relative to Bitcoin holdings, BTC yield, cost of capital, sensible management compensation and a competent team. The UK is primed for this product. I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by how well MORE does.
$SWC.L If you're a value investor you should be looking at Smarter Web. It is currently trading at 0.91x its book value. Bitcoin NAV = £138 million. Debt = £18.5 million. Fully Diluted Market Cap = £108.5 million. Net difference = +£11 million. You are buying Bitcoin at a discount and getting the operating business for free. Additionally, the prospect of a GBP-denominated preferred should not be ignored. UK investors currently receive a paltry amount on cash. A STRC/SATA equivalent offering double that yield will be in demand. I am finding good value here.

A strong finish on the FTSE All-Share. Smarter Web closed top of the index again, up 35.9% on the day at 72p. The next name on the list was up 11.27%. The wider All-Share finished about 0.8% higher. Smarter Web traded around 8.6 million shares, which is our highest volume day since July 2025. I think those are positive signals. That said, I do not control the share price. I only control the decisions we make as a team. We are working hard and staying focused on executing the plan. Days like this will inevitably bring more interest in the company. I believe they also help institutions take notice, and that the shareholder base will continue to broaden going forward. LSE: #SWC | OTCQB: $TSWCF | FRA: $3M8

Interesting comments from @btc_overflow here on BTCTC prefs. I think there's another important way to look at this: scale relative to the capital market you’re operating in. First, huge credit should go to @Strive. It's a fantastic company and there is a lot to learn from the way it has structured and developed $SATA. The same is true of @Strategy, which continues to pioneer this entire sector and create a playbook that others can learn from. Everyone building in this space benefits from what these companies have done. But comparing absolute US and UK trading volumes only tells part of the story. Smarter Web now holds 2,747 Bitcoin. If MORE launches with an initial £10-25m raise, that might look small through a US-market lens. But SATA's initial IPO raised $160m. Adjust for the enormous difference in size and liquidity between the US and UK equity markets, and £10-25m starts to look very different. If, purely for illustration, you assume the relevant UK capital market is around 20x smaller, SATA's $160m launch translates to only around $8m on a relative market-size basis (I am using estimates here). That's why I think the more interesting question isn't: "Can MORE match SATA's absolute dollar issuance or trading liquidity?" Of course it can’t - nor should that be the benchmark. The better questions are: how large can MORE become relative to its starting point, how much capital can it attract relative to its addressable market, and what level of secondary-market liquidity can it develop relative to normal UK trading volumes? There's another potentially important difference here too. The UK has a long-established culture of income investing and, as a market, has historically placed considerably more emphasis on yield than the growth-dominated US equity market. That could make the UK a particularly interesting market in which to launch a yield-focused instrument. And if the initial company research is anything to go by, MORE could do something else that is perhaps underappreciated: help make the investment case for SWC's ordinary equity clearer. The two securities don't have to compete for the same investor. They can serve different pools of capital and different objectives - MORE for investors attracted to yield and SWC for investors seeking the upside and growth characteristics of the ordinary equity. Two securities working with each other, not against each other. Different capital markets require different benchmarks. The US is unquestionably in a class of its own when it comes to capital-market depth and liquidity. But that doesn't mean this model only works in the US. If anything, successfully adapting the model pioneered by Strategy and developed further by companies such as Strive to markets with very different investor bases and capital-market structures would demonstrate something much more important: ...that in my opinion the model travels.
The challenge in scaling a BTCTC pref in a non-US market is much greater than people realize. I don't mean to pick on $SWC here, I hope its upcoming pref program is successful. But just to illustrate the liquidity gap with another top global market, for trailing 5 trading days: - $STRC posted 109x the value traded of SWC. - $SATA posted 47x the value traded of SWC. In other words, the value traded of even just Strategy and Strive's preferred shares is orders of magnitude greater than SWC's common equity (aggregated across its 3 listings). Expectation for value traded of an SWC preferred would be yet another order of magnitude difference. To be clear, SWC can still be successful relative to its market cap, I'm not arguing against this. And this limited comparison is not necessarily a full reflection of liquidity conditions in the US and the UK. Nonetheless, the differences in liquidity between US markets and non-US markets are much greater than people realize. US markets are simply in a class of their own when it comes to scale.
