 IMHO Saylor knows his stuff, and is a very sharp mind.  He is only in his first bitcoin epoch tho, but ahead of most at that time. He also brings unique knowledge to the table.  I think Odell has a conflict of interest in running his VC firm and OpenSats.  Nostr could have done a lot better than it has, with the resources it was very kindly given.  Especially wrt infrastructure.  Ultimately he harms himself by not going full gun on growing the eco system, as much as he could.  Saylor tends to be right, and he's not going to throw money at something that he cant verify is going to help.  He also runs a software business and knows that most ideas are bad ideas, and well intended engineers trying to tinker with something normally break 2 things for every 1 thing they fix (nostr is getting that way), and he doesnt want bitcoin to go that path.  Wise.
