Elon (Tesla) and Saylor (MicroStrategy) are the only institutions that have actually bought and held bitcoin on their books. However, Tesla has been transparent about its willingness to trade around its BTC position, which clearly does not rely on BTC. A total of $489m worth of BTC was purchased by Taylor last week at an average price of $37k apiece. The market went down nevertheless, which proves that there are no large buyers right now.

One of the eeriest games I’ve ever played was The Chameleon. This is Splinter Cell through David Lynch — a nuts ‘n’ bolts stealth game with a neat gimmick slathered in surrealism. While hiding behind obstacles and timing your movements, you sneak through the facility’s lo-fi corridors, avoiding guards by hiding behind obstacles and slipping past their patrols.

“You can use the force.”
The laugh you bellowed out was almost inhuman, it was almost a scream of laughter that left you holding your sides and cackling. Darth Vader’s eyes narrowed on you whilst he slowly advanced towards you from across the room. Tears filled your eyes and you brought a hand up to wipe your eyes, uncontrollably shaking with amusement. You knew he was visibly furious with your reaction to his statement, you watched as his fists tightened and posture turned tall and straight-a look of grace and elegance.
“What are you laughing-” He had snarled.
You couldn’t help but cut him off with a laugh, it was unbelievably loud. “No! I cant, this-this is so kriffing funny! Let me-phew” you stood up to wipe your eyes, calming down. “Let me go get my dad because this is too good.”
“Sit.” He had commanded and when you refused, he grabbed you by your shoulder and sat you at the opposite side of the long table. He strolled back to his seat at the opposite end of the table. “You can use the force which leads me to my next offer. Train with me, become a sith-” You cackled again, crying with laughter as he slammed his fists down on the table. “For your best interests, be quiet when I’m talking to you.”
You wiped your eyes, giving him your best mischievous grin. “Look, I’m sure we’ve all had a good laugh and a joke. But I’ve got some reading to do so I’ll be going-”
“Sit. Now.”
“Jeez, anakin. What’s got your panties in a twist?”
The air turned tense.
His gaze turned to you, underneath the helmet he had snarled, you weren’t going to shrink underneath the stare of the sith lord. His hands reached up to his helmet and he had undone the clasps to remove it.
You had nearly gasped when you saw him. His hair was considerably shorter than the last time you had saw him. The scarring line stretched across his face, a scorching burn-a lightsaber mark. His eyes were a bitter, highlighted yellow. Now you felt like shrinking. The guy was terrifying. He stood up, walking over to sit on the table before you.
“How did you know it was me?”
“The way you sit. Your voice. The modifier doesn’t do anything.” You admitted to him.
“Now, I’m offering to train you. Make you like me.”
“What happened to you?” Your voice had almost broken. “I heard about what happened to Padme. I’m sorry, anakin-”
“Don’t.” He had cut you off, snarling as he reached for his lightsaber. “Don’t call me that.”
“Padme loved you. What made you become a sith-”
“Stop it!”
“I heard you killed her but I didn’t believe it-”
“I told you to stop!” He exclaimed and you bit back a discreet smile. “Fine, let’s look at your past, shall we?”
And like that, you were back on your home planet. It was peaceful. You watched as you walked into your home clutching onto your mother’s hand. Stepping lightly, you now stood in your living room behind the couch where you watched television snuggled into your fathers side whilst he had his arms around your mother. You knew what this was. You had seen this on a loop during your awful nights of restlessness. The smile on your younger self showed how naive you were, how sheltered your life had been before it had happened.
Then it did.
It all fell silent, then ticking. You looked up at your parents who had instantly shielded you from the blast before it had happened-you were blown backwards by it as your house lost the stable foundations it was built upon. When the ringing in your ears had stopped and you could clearly see what was going on. The rubble and debris replaced your house and you cried out for your parents, racing into the ruins.
That’s when you first ever met Sergeant Hunter of Clone Force 99 who had raced by and swept you up in his arms to protect you from what happened.
“He saved you.”
You jumped back, realising that Anakin had gone into your head and was stood beside you as you watched the scene unfold. You wiped your eyes and turned away from him. “Stop it.”
“Let’s look at another rerun shall we?” He had smirked sickly.
And with that, you were in a different memory.
Your eyes widened at the sight, you knew what it was. Your figure shivered on the ledge of the building your twelve year old self stood on. The separatist informant was stood six feet away from you with a blaster pointed at your head. You were managing to somehow stand confident in the position like this. Hunter, in your comm, asked if you were in a position where you could get off of the ledge. You told him you could if they could create a distraction. And to which they did. The door to the roof burst open and Wrecker covered your eyes whilst Crosshair took the shot at the separatist. You opened your eyes at the sight of Tech kneeling down before you to make sure that you were okay whilst the other three discussed the mission.
Yet again, you knew what was going to happen. Whatever you would have done in your head now wouldn’t have made a difference. He was making you sit and watch.
You hadn’t noticed someone take a shot at you until Hunter had exclaimed for you to watch out. Tech, being Tech, had shielded you with his body, meaning he was shot.
“You just seem to cause everyone around you pain.”
“Oh stars just stop.” You scoff, wiping your eyes as you watched your younger self crowd tech to help conceal the wound. “I-I don’t see the point in any of this!”
“It’s to prove that with the force, you could have prevented all of these things from happening. You could have shielded Tech and saved him from being shot. You could have possibly even saved your parents life-”
“You used the force. You couldn’t save your mother.” You snapped back at him, not even registering the words leaving your mouth. Even your eyes widened at your words, so you weren’t surprised when he had ignited his lightsaber and held it against your neck with a snarl. “I-I-”
“Let’s go to another memory.”
“No-”
You’d began shaking your head, resisting him to which he had furrowed his brows. Of course you had no concept of what you were doing but all you knew was you were pushing back against him and that’s all you needed to know. Just keep doing what we’re doing, you thought to yourself. It was taking a lot out of you, you felt yourself grow tired but you knew that was just because you had never done it before.
Suddenly, you were back in the meeting room with him staring at you with a snarl. You cackled and stood up. “I’ve had no training and you can’t even control me? So much for strongest Jedi ever, huh?”
His hand balled to a fist and your airways were suddenly cut off. “I can’t control you? Doll, you’ve got no idea what I’m capable of.” He offered and laid a lightsaber on the table before letting you go. “Fritz held you captive for hours and you only held it to one casualty. How did you do that?”
“I don’t want to talk about it.”
“No, come on. Where’s all that fire you had walking in here?” He smirked and twisted his own lightsaber in his hands. “We’ve seen your naivety in all of your life, you were a trained fighter and trained for undercover ops. What was it about him that made you just swoon and let down your guard?”
“I said I don’t want to talk about it.” You sighed and sat down on the table. “Take it before I change my mind and leave.”
“Come on, doll. What did he do? Bat his blue eyes at you and you-”
“That doesn’t even make sense-”
“He smiled and you just crumbled? Put all of your family in danger just for a form of attention with someone who only wanted you for them. When he was done with you, he’d have killed you. Or worse.”
“I’m asking politely that you stop this.”
“So you-”
“I might be bad but I didn’t kill your pregnant secret wife. Pregnant with twins too.” You saw his blistering eyes turn dark. “Everyone loved padme, everyone turned out for the funeral. What was it about her that spurred you to kill her after you’d both shared so much?”
“Stop.” His voice came out as a snarl and you smirked.
“You probably accused her of being with Obi Wan behind your back right? I can see why you’d think that. And honestly? I don’t blame her. Maybe it’s because I have a thing for older guys but out of the two of you he’s the clear choice-”
Now, you realised your taunting might have gotten him a little bit too mad. The red bladed lightsaber hung above you and in a panic, you had ignited the one that laid beside you on the table. It was a deep shade of red, matching his. You had smirked when your blades clashed above you.
“Fritz released the tape of what happened to you. That sicko recorded it. It’s impressive how you didn’t pass out from what happened to you.”
“Thanks.” You smiled and kicked him off of you, the doors to the room opening as he flew across the corridor. “I miss padme. She was always so sweet, sure she was way outta your league. I mean, even I-"
“Stop it!” He swung the blade at you and you grinned, swatting it away as though it was nothing. “Fritz Andreas had a little brother, you know? A four year old who was calling his big brother over the comms asking when he was coming home because they didn’t have any parents-”
“Shut up.” You lunged towards him, spinning the blade before slashing it down against him.
“That boy is left alone-”
“Fuck you!” You snarled.
You didn’t even realise that arms had wrapped around you. You were fighting in the arms of whoever had hold of you. Darth Vader had his helmet back on, something that you hadn’t even noticed. Rage had completely overthrown you from your focus and relaxed state. You looked up at Crosshair who had wrapped his arms around your middle and carted you away from the Sith Lord who was stood up tall and composed.
“Hey, I need you to breathe for me. Okay? Can you do that?” He had asked but you were too blinded by rage to care.
“I swear to the stars I’ll-”
“I’m giving you twenty four hours to think about my deal.”

It was nighttime where the the Marauder was. It was the middle of the night actually.
Tech was sat in the cockpit of the ship, watching your favourite holovid with your Lula doll in the copilots seat. You often sat in the copilots seat with him to see the stars incase nobody else was awake or even if it was during the day just because you loved seeing the galaxy. Tech always taught you anything and everything that he knew about the galaxy you all lived in and it mesmerised you.
“It’s not our fault she’s gone, tech.”
“It is.” He sighed to Hunter who stood a fair distance away, watching the holovid. “She thought we hated her so she left. Of course it’s our fault.”
“We’ll get her back.”
“We will.” He affirmed. “But we will not be taking anymore risks, she deserves a life of her own too.”
“We’re all gonna be back together again, we’re family.”
Tech took a look at the lula doll on the copilots seat. “All of us.”
The two of them looked up when they heard Wrecker groan from behind Hunter, staring at the your lula doll on the seat. His heart strings were being played-the empire had made you all look like fools. “Let’s just go get her back now.”
“If we storm Kamino without a plan we’ll be caught just like them. Then there’s no chance of us being a family.”
“As much as I hate to say it, hunters right. We need a strategy and I’m going to form one.” Tech said proudly and stood up.

Crosshair held you against him in his arms as you sobbed into one of your spare pillows. He was holding you to his chest whilst telling you that everything was going to be okay and you had nothing to worry about. He was comforting you that what had happened in the past didn’t matter because it was in the past. But it didn’t help with your anxieties.
Vader was right, you had been so naive it had led to the deaths or harm of everyone around you.
“They could never hate you, sweetheart.”
“Dad, they hate me. I don’t blame them. I’m the whole reason tech was shot.”
“Sweetheart that was years ago, you need to stop obsessing over the past. What’s done is done and you can either learn from it or pretend it didn’t happen.”
Crosshair was right.
You had to learn from it.
And you knew just how.
“I’m gonna take his offer.”
