 Imagine if Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy, had listened to someone like Warren Buffett—a once widely respected investor who has remained skeptical of disruptive technologies.

Imagine if Nayib Bukele, President of El Salvador, had heeded the warnings of the IMF—a once trusted institution that has historically prioritized stability over innovation.

Imagined if you, a node on the network, had listened to a no coiner because they had more paper fiat than that average person.
