Well, thinking it through he was much more than a momentum trader, right? He may have used momentum as a signal, but I understand he looked at many other factors as well. Not a Soros expert but I believe the pound trade was a massive directional bet against the pound -after recognizing an unsustainable policy situation and how market psychology would force the breaking point
Little knowledge of MSTR ,bonds are non recourse debt, TAM is huge for its financial products. Hunt brothers had at least 1/3 of the silver market. Silver production increased a lot due to price. Bitcoin production can’t do the same. Saylor has ~ 1.7%. Poor analogy. Sure something could happen, but there are several drivers.
Doesn't matter if Saylor has 1.7%. It's not only about the absolute percentage that they own - it's the example they set.
Remember when two years ago BTC was sliding and sliding on the expectation that MSTR would maybe have to sell? It happened then but it can't happen now?
After our successful short, we've documented this fascinating company saga and its founder's journey. A story worth reading

Interesting! So, wondering why Soros wasn’t regarded as a momentum trader then; guess he had more conviction on his macro directional bets
When you say wasn't regarded as a momentum trader? Momentum trader as opposed to?

Absolutely, Soros was much more than just a momentum trader. Read my post on him for more.
Love the voiceover! Keep doing that!

His leverage ratio is kept at 25%
He says he never was at a risk for that. The only thing he had to pay was the Silvergate loan, and he made money doing it. The rest was conjecture.
