I've studied three languages in addition to my milk language.

I noticed sometimes when thinking or speaking in my non native language, if I struggle for a word my brain will fill in with a word in another non native language.

For example, when speaking German(TL) my brain threw in a 在(zai) with the Chinese meaning.

This confused me, and I started to think of the German word seit (which sounds (kind-of) the same). But seit wasn't correct in the context. Seit is about time. 在 is about place.

Does anybody else do this? What exercises could help me?

When dealing with equities there is a concept known as "days to cover." Days to cover refers to the number of days it would take ALL short positions to buy back assuming every trade (at current volume) was a short buying the position.

In the MSTR case we have ONE actor that owns more that 4% of the float. If we take all of the Coinbase and Kraken BTC/USD volume recently it's been between 20k--25k per day. If we take what MSTR owns (847k) and divide by 25k we get 33.88 days. It would take over a month for MSTR to divest assuming ALL Coinbase and Kraken trades were MSTR selling. No other actor selling.

I left out Binance because they're offshore. But after looking at their volume it's all against USDT and USDC no USD.

It's true that MSTR will probably seek out OTC trades. I doubt there is demand on the OTC anywhere near the current price for 847k butts.

Michael instructs his broker to buy $20M worth of bitcoin at $10,000.

A year later Michael asks his broker about his "investment." The broker says "it's doing well up to $40,000." Michael instructs the broker to buy $500M more at $40,000.

Six years later Micheal asks his broker how his "investment" is doing. Broker says "Doing well up to $70,000". Michael instructs the broker to buy $60B more at $70,000. The broker says that to buy that much he might need to pay as much as $80,000. Michael agrees to buy at market.

Two weeks later Michael walks into his broker and asks her to sell.

The broker asks: To who?

Let's say I make a small script that identifies prime numbers. If I were to write these to disk I would use SQLite. I would think SQLite would be a better tool than pickle or a textfile.

However is there a better tool for this type of saving.

Edit: I found >The largest integer value in SQLite is 9223372036854775807. This is the maximum value for a signed 64-bit integer.

So this is something to consider for this project, I could use new columns to get around this restriction. When starting the script it could load from disk and start where it left off. This project would mainly just be to teach me.
