+-----------------------------------------------------------+What is Coin-Stock
So-called coin-stock:
├── From stock or crypto market, choose the side with higher fundraising capacity and lower sophistication
├── Embed and push the side with lower liquidity, easier manipulation
├── Exploit liquidity cognition gap for bilateral price flywheel
└── Cash out during appreciationMicroStrategy Case
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Fundraising side | Wall Street convertible bonds + equity offerings (high capacity) |
| Embedded side | 2020 BTC daily real volume ~10B (low liquidity, manipulable) |
| Core capability | Decades on Wall Street, strong fundraising ability |
Small horse pulling big cart, extracting more USD
Success Recipe
1. Very strong traditional fiat fundraising ability
2. Public company shell for fiat fundraising with secondary trading
3. Low liquidity, easily manipulated crypto targetCounter-examples
| Project | Problem |
|---|---|
| Consensys SBET | Crypto funds injected into US stock shell to buy ETH, no traditional fundraising ability |
| Justin Sun SRM | Same, flywheel can't form, one-shot only, volume and price both drop |
New Era Listing Schemes
Traditional Listing/Restructuring Schemes (circa 2013)
Three phases:
Pre-listing Fundraising Phase:
Push original shares to market
↓
Cash dividends before listing
↓
Static + dynamic rewards up to 400% APY
↓
Big tier gaps, must grind market to max out
Trust-building:
├── Company HQ tours
├── Professional broker analyst presentations
└── Conference sales
↓
Key: Lock dividends to get full sharesListing Phase:
Real listing:
├── Find shell to list (US to Singapore markets)
├── Use overseas listing subsidy red stamp documents
└── Listing cost under $800K
Fake listing:
├── Just find shell to announce offering/restructuring
└── Or pure vaporClosing or Restart:
After successful listing:
├── Force delivery of illiquid shares
├── Delay delivery citing KYC/compliance
├── Various means to "legally" pocket money
└── Use retail money to pump, left-hand-right-hand dump
HK stock market maker led schemes might:
├── Do another scheme to shift previous bubbles
└── Or do offeringsCoin-Stock Upgrade
Mapping
| Traditional Listing Scheme | Coin-Stock |

Operating Steps
1. Find Shell
Find nearly zero market cap and volume NASDAQ listed company willing to scheme
e.g., $CNET, $VNET, etc., negotiate splits2. Announcements
Crypto strategic reserve announcement + Blockchain strategy announcement3. Find Crypto
Pick a Coinbase/Kraken or at least Binance/OKX spot-listed
Top 500 market cap but high-control, can contact market maker shell
Negotiate splits4. Run Listing Scheme
0.5% daily static, up to 300% dynamic
Call it "coin-stock convertible bond"
Sun line but limit first-level market lines + initial deposit totals
Let market lines shill in groups, sell invite codes
Dividend withdrawals deduct convertible "stock" ratio
Offer 5x stock buyback policy (with "compliance conditions")
Hong Kong conference + Listed company rep + Crypto team rep
Theme: RWA conference, leave no evidence for later5. Test the Waters
Use deposit funds as market cap capital
High volatility testing on crypto price, big swings
Can paint doors, but definitely need occasional 15%+ daily candles
Paint picture for depositing retail6. Harvest
When new deposits slow to approach daily dividend payout ratio:
├── Listed company announces restructuring
├── Stock side pump and dump begins
├── Cite compliance to extend share distribution (learn from Pi Network)
└── Buyback requires shares in hand first (another 6 months)
Result:
├── Stock cashed out
├── Crypto cashed out
└── Retail got their coin-stock and coinsCore Formulas
Coin-stock success = Traditional fundraising ability × Low liquidity crypto target × Cognition gap arbitrage
Mapping:
├── Convertible bonds → Dividend scheme fundraising
├── PE/SPAC → Listing phase
└── Three-direction exit → Pump and dump
Core driver:
├── Michael Saylor: Wall Street institutional financing

Advantages:
├── Lower cost
├── Easier to pump
├── Fewer complaints
├── Easier to maintain
└── Easier to cash outOld wine in new bottles - retail understands one thing, change the name and they don't recognize it anymore
