Totally absurd and lame lol. How can you long bitcoin and short MicroStrategy when $MicroStrategy(MSTR)$ have the largest moat of Bitcoins. Totally ironic. When Bitcoin skyrockets, so will the balances of MSTR and its market cap. Kerrisdale thinks he is smart, but the lights are obviously on and no one's home. LoL. An idiom to say how shallow his comment is 😶‍🌫️🤯
