 @Jeff Booth not sure you’ve had the chance to listen yet, but curious your thoughts on Michael Saylor’s opinions on today’s episode of The Bitcoin Standard Podcast. They had a testy debate. His vision for the future seems to go against your argument that the new system is incompatible with the current system. #Bitcoin 
 I didn’t watch but it is why I have repeated often that Saylor is wrong here. If Bitcoin fails as a currency, it will fail as a store of value (similar to gold in time) I “ironically” debated Saif on our last podcast together and he took the Saylor view, which it sounds like he now understands. 
 failure via lack of confidence to sustain demand at the individual level (too. many lost or stolen keys for the average user to embrace self-cutody,) or externally (naked-short paper-attack from institutions, future computstional attacks at the network, or lack of Elon's endorsement).
