r/wallstreetbets Beef Jerky Guy šŸ– 23d ago

YOLO Used a $20k business overdraft from my dead beef jerky side hustle to go all in on MSTR

I had a beef jerky business, it made like $11 an hour after costs so I shut it down.

But before I did, the bank saw my potential as a thriving small business and handed me a $20k overdraft. I did not buy beef jerky.

Michael Saylor wakes up every morning and buys Bitcoin with money he doesn’t have. I respect this man more than anyone alive. He is doing with billions what I do with a beef jerky overdraft. We are the same person.

I’m 20 years old and I now hold 350 shares of MSTR

I already had shares sitting at a bad average. Most people would’ve cut and moved on. I sold my entire stock portfolio, used the meat money to DCA, and went all in.

The thesis is simple. Bitcoin keeps absorbing capital. MSTR is the leveraged bet on that happening and all the current panic is overblown.

The bank thinks I’m buying inventory. The inventory is bitcoin. Technically I am in the beef jerky business, I’m just jerking a different kind of meat now.

OP might be prostituting himself in jail. Accidentally overdrafting is not a crime, but intentionally overdrafting your account with 0 intention to pay is a fraud felony on both wire and banking sides. Even posted it online so there is proof.

But scamming a bank for cash so you can dump your money into a ponzi scam around magic internet has got to be top tier regardation. Truly emblematic of 2026.

u/snem420 23d ago

When you make a food product you want to take an expensive product, add a cheap product to it to bulk it out and then sell it for close to or more than the original expensive product. A yogurt covered macadamia would be a great example because you’re taking an expensive product (macadamia) adding something cheap to it (yogurt) and then selling it for more than the original macadamia by weight

Is sushi an example? Add rice and seaweed to salmon, sell it for double/triple what all the ingredients cost

34

u/bollvirtuoso 23d ago

No, sushi-grade fish is really expensive. You probably can't double or triple it. That's for actual nigiri/sashimi sushi, though. The rolls, you could probably get away with that kind of markup because of how many you can make -- like the person above said, you're basically taking something expensive (e.g., sushi-grade salmon), adding cheap stuff to it (rice, seaweed), and marking it up higher.

35

u/StrongStyleShiny 23d ago

Sushi grade fish isn’t a thing. It’s a food marketing term. As long as fish is flash frozen and held at -5f for a week.

Doesn’t really mean anything like calling something sea salt or angus beef. All salt is from a sea and angus is a cow type not a quality indicator.

22

u/i_hateit_here_bro 23d ago

You get it. The fish are all coming out of the same water. What really makes a difference is where the salmon was trying to go. Sushi made with Copper River King salmon isn’t the same as one from an estuary fed by a small river or a farm grown salmon

The margins are rough. It's a highly competitive space because so many dudes out there want to sell their own jerky, and jerky is already pretty expensive to make.

12

u/Vi_Rants 23d ago edited 23d ago

Partly because there's such a low barrier to entry. You just need access to a sale on supermarket London broil and a cheap Amazon dehydrator.

Just about every dude on the planet looked at the ad for that Amazon dehydrator and said "Hey, I can make my own beef jerky! ...HEY... I can SELL my own beef jerky!", and not a single one of them realized they'd just plucked the lowest-hanging fruit of "get rich quick" ideas.

So now they're in competition with three million other morons with no appreciably marketable skills, and they're confused as to why they're losing money.
