FOOTNOTES

I am writing this from the frozen tundra of the American South, but my spirits are high. We've entered uncharted territory as bitcoin continues pumping. The reaper has been unleashed and we are now are eyeballing $52,000 as the next victim. At what point does the general public FOMO? Do you think Wall Street is even paying attention to MicroStrategy as it executes the biggest speculative attack on the U.S. dollar ever? The world is changing so quickly and all we can do is stay humble.  P.S. Come see us in Miami. 10 percent off general admission tickets if you use promo code "SATOSHI."
