The segregation effect, a psychological principle from Richard Thaler, explains that investors perceive multiple smaller gains as more satisfying than one large gain, which can drive investors to prefer investment vehicles offering frequent income distributions (like daily dividends) over those with less frequent payouts, even when the total returns are similar.

Are Stratey (MSTR) and Strive (ASST) in a yield war with STRC and SATA?Added:
I think the way that a retail investor is defined exogenous to the Bitcoin industry is a bit different than the way that we define them internally. But I think that the sort of emotions are pretty much the same. So what I what I mean there is Bitcoin investors generally as retail investors have more money than the [music] average investor simply because they invested oftentimes in a concentrated way into an asset class [music] that's performed really really well. However, they still have sort of the animous spirits of I can panic quickly and try and exit this position rapidly that a traditional retail investor [music] m you know has.
So just because you've made a lot of money via a good concentrated bet doesn't mean that you've suddenly become a much more sophisticated investor. So I do think that that's a bit of a concern [music] for stretch. However, um I think that the biggest thing going on there is stretch going from semionthly or going into like semionthly yield and [music] it is going to I believe become a bit of a frequency war and I think that they may actually lose it because SATA is is going daily and it's not about the 1.5% spread so much. It's that a daily dividend turns Bitcoin from an asset that you hold into like true income that you can see hitting your bank account every day. And there's a real psychological principle [music] from Richard Thaylor uh called uh the segregation effect. It's tens of gains of $100 feels better than one gain of $1,000. So I think [music] when that psychology starts to sort of embed itself in investors who are seeing these daily [music] gains, they're going to start to say, "Hey, maybe I want to start moving over, you know, from from stretch to SATA." So I think that this is also a pretty big
