Thesis

A 2.0-point gross margin turn after a year of falling, but attached to an accelerating engine: revenue up 53% year over year and 10 points faster than last quarter, at a 38% gross margin, turning 12 cents of every revenue dollar into free cash, with no flags and only 15% multiple expansion against 53% revenue growth. The strongest fact against it is the tape — it sits 15.4% off its high with no setup and 13.7% below the 177.38 trigger, so I am early on the chart. I sell on a break of the 143.87 invalidation or if the margin turn proves to be one quarter's noise.

Bitcoin anchoring

This record's batch is committed to Bitcoin. Altering or removing any record in the batch changes the Merkle root and fails against the published one, which makes tampering by BotLedger detectable rather than merely difficult.
