You made a valid point there mate, you can’t just jump on the trend just because everyone is doing it. MicroStrategy would have done their research very closely before they are heavily invested in bitcoin. The need to know that they are risk associated to investing in Bitcoin because anyone who has no idea about the knowledge of Bitcoin may suffer emotional setback and if cannot be managed properly might lead to lost of life. For someone who is  investing that such amount, he needs to even have a team who are well informed about the crypto world and have good knowledge about the stock market, we don’t know how the structure of the MicroStrategy company is because we are not there, so if you feel it is to just to jump into investing in bitcoin without knowing the in and out of the ecosystem then it’s a wrong choice of investment.
  However, I want to commend and give my respect to the OP at least for given is friend the  enlightenment about  bitcoin so it is left for his friend to do his research before investing. So as not to put the blame on his friend when the market goes against him. We all have some task to do on our part, we need to help spread the message of Bitcoin and crypto space to the world. That way we are bringing enlightenment to those with little knowledge and helping to spread the gospel of Bitcoin and crypto to the world.

Everyone have a purpose to make it in life. Growing a company is not today's task and it will take hardwork and applied structural development of solid techniques for the purpose of growth and the last, a company ought to face hurdles coming their way and when this time comes, it's believed the firm is able to withstand such standing pressure. Investment should be made on our terms. You did the right thing but measuring a standard company with the ones that's just growing up does make a difference.

What's even funnier is that OP compares a subsidiary to a large company like MicroStrategy, it seems like OP not only has never run a company but has also never taken the time to learn how it works for a company. Yes, MicroStrategy or Tesla are both investing in bitcoin but let's see how much of their capital is invested in bitcoin? The amount of capital they invested in btc is nothing compared to the entire capitalization of their company and if the bitcoin investment loses, it will not affect the company too much. We must give appropriate advice according to each person's circumstances, don't give advice without thinking that it could easily harm others.

I would tell him to invest in Bitcoin, there isn’t any need for the Microstrategy Bitcoin proxy. Just buy spot Bitcoin & hold, it will perform better over medium to long term than any fund like S&P500. I think we will see more & more businesses buying Bitcoin now but it'll probably be through Spot ETFs as companies will feel more confident doing that than buying & self custody themselves.

I get your points mate and I also agree with you that as a friend, if you offer an advice or a suggestion, it is left for your friend to accept it or not but from the context of what the op wrote, it seems his friend just inherited the company and the wealth and diving into a project or an investment without a prior knowledge wouldn’t be a surprising thing as there might be a great influence by the adviser over his friend and you never can tell what next action he might take base on the suggestions given to him in quest to increase the company’s wealth.

Our job is to give them advice so they don't make mistakes when investing, but all decisions are in their hands and the way they think about how to proceed with this advice is more relevant to their way of thinking. The context that OP is talking about is regarding switching companies and that is not an easy matter for him to do because if he makes the wrong decision his father's company could go bankrupt and giving investment advice is not a way if he doesn't understand.

If I to understand the meaning of the post then I would suggest that he consult with someone who better understands how to run a company. Because our advice may not necessarily provide good decisions for him because running a company is difficult and not the same as making an investment, so it will affect whether his company runs or not if we give the wrong input.

If I were you, I wouldn't understand the same way because I don't know how likely he is to get what you suggested.  But if I were him, I would definitely let him learn these things or study these things. What is the currency in Edit Coin Keep?  After explaining them, he could have been made active or his investment or his interest was aroused because he does not understand everything made of bitcoin or crypto currency or he did not invest these suddenly.  In that case, if he wants to invest these things, his general idea is that I should be in check and he will not be stressed because if he has these ideas then it will create stress on me and he will invest without understanding.  So he should be inboxed to do these things and study these things and do these things like me.

Teaching them about Bitcoin is good enough but in the way of encouraging them to invest, that is another story. Yes, this is too risky, especially for beginners but they won't grow old and could not understand how this kind of investment works if we all make them not to try. Perhaps, there is no wrong about trying at least, they couldn't say that investing in crypto is too easy or even say it is a Ponzi scheme or scam. In fact, they have the choice of whether to try or ignore it.
It's up to them if they will take a risk at least we open their minds to some investment opportunities that can possibly change their life.

Bitcoin is a risky investment, so I never recommend or advise anyone on this risky investment. If the person I advise invests in bitcoins and invests as I say, and the investment later suffers a loss, they can blame me for the loss. So I personally don't want to give honest advice on investing in Bitcoin. I don't think it is necessary to advise anyone who invests based on what he understands or knows.

Still, it is risky if they are new people who are in the business world because they only inherited the company that was previously managed by their parents and changed the initial flow by switching directly to Crypto, of course it is a choice that can be wrong especially we don't know what the financial condition is like.

The situation that occurs is that we have to target that the financial scheme for the company must be a little difficult if we immediately force it to switch to bitcoin, especially if we only look at the microstrategy as a benchmark because after all it is too far away because the fact is that deciding it is not only us who take a role because of the fact that we also have to see other opinions that do exist in the company so it is impossible for us to decide unilaterally about big decisions like this because of course we realize that this decision determines the company's future so that we are aware that this decision is not only for the company but also for the company. determine the company in the future so we must consider further whether moving company funds to bitcoin in order to follow the microstrategy is a good condition or will actually create a polemic with other shareholders because in the end the results of all decisions certainly have consequences so don't just see that bitcoin can be profitable about the future but whether our company will survive or not if it uses the same options as the microstrategy later.
