I'm still confused about STRC. It's on my list of things to research because PBJ said it was basically Saylor's answer to Tether. But I don't understand.

Any pointers on where to go to get up to speed?

Saylor said this might be Bitcoin's killer app. Basically he's offering 10% annual dividends competing with all kinds of money market funds and bonds. The product is profitable for $MSTR holders as long as Bitcoin accretes more than 10%/y on average.

The TAM of this market is huge.

Basically it's Bitcoin stripped from all its volatility with 10% gains/y. This is very attractive for a lot of folks who are looking for the risk free investment.

Hmm I use YouTube. Wonder why PBJ said this? Adam Livingston just did a video about how STRC can become a stablecoin but it’s hypothetical. Here is his master guide on STRC.

But to make it simple if you have spare fiat and you don’t just want it sitting in a bank you can move it to STRC and earn 10% APR paid monthly. Saylor is trying to make 10% APR be the new “risk free rate”

The risk bitcoin or MSTR blows up and some major player on Wall St shorts it and breaks the peg/range MSTR is setting with STRC.

I know a lot of hardcore maxis hate this but to me it’s just a company using a public financial good and making products out of them that the market seems to find useful based in fiat terms.
