Mind blowing that other huge corporations are just sitting by and allowing MicroStrategy to do this. I think the only reason this hasn't generated such a buzz is because MicroStrategy isn't a household name.
If Google, Microsoft, or Amazon were doing this, you can be sure others would soon be following close behind.

Great question! Here are a few things that have helped me gain new perspective over the years:
- Do a Vipassana retreat - 10 days sitting in silence will force you to question a lot of beliefs https://www.dhamma.org/en/index
- Travel somewhere new and ditch the phone. Navigating and being forced to interact with strangers will give you all kinds of new perspective
- Learn a new language - this one is a major commitment, but helped me reflect on how universal concepts get distilled in human communication and gave me a tool to interact with new groups of people with very different life experiences. I used Baselang several years ago for Spanish https://baselang.com
- Travel somewhere where people live radically different lives. Chiapas and parts of Oaxaca were big ones for me
- On the idea side, some of my favorites: Buckminster Fuller, Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson, and Kevin Kelly. I've also really resonated with Vedic wisdom. Here's a great resource to find similar thinking, which I think you'll enjoy: https://organism.earth/library/
This is an excellent reminder to once again question my own experience/information inputs - thanks!

Depends on which exchange. Exchanges with order books like coinbase, kraken, etc just get their bitcoin from customers, people buying and selling fill out the order book. Exchanges like River, Swan, Strike, etc are brokerages and get their bitcoin from market makers and other services. Lots of these services just have accounts on the other exchanges and buy at whichever has the best price.
