A strategic default is when you have a loan on an asset but the loan costs more than that asset is worth so you stop paying the loan. With you not paying your loan it frees up money to do other things.

Example: If you have a $500k loan on a house that is worth $400k you stop paying your mortgage and live rent free for a year (while they evict you) to build up cash. Then rent a house across the street and wait a year or two and then buy another house and do it again.

for NYC one of the buildings was twitter and the other ones were older buildings

​

in NYC all the older buildings are going bankrupt and companies are coming to newer offices with hotel seating. the older buildings are hard to run ethernet, wifi and other modern tech in and the newer ones are built with new tech in mind along with more natural light

crypto jumped the shark very quickly and lost the battle of hearts and minds, and without some truly epoch defining innovation that the world soon adopts, it will continue to languish as a zombified niche area full of delusions, cynicism and the burning of real money.
