 You think that dude doesn't have a personal stash with his own keys somewhere ? 
 I do not. I think he's a giant larp, fiat/ngu maxi who will either get rugged or sell soon, before he finishes his digital energy podcast tour and advocating for regulations so institutions can get all the coins before plebs.

Fuck Saylor, my 2 sats 😎🍿 
 😂 I think dude has some stashed forever 
 He’s claimed he had a personal stack. I’d think he does, as he was able to smash buy before Microstrategy. 

That said, I highly doubt he personally takes self custody. 
 I don't think he has his entire personal stash in self custody but with the amount of energy he put into learning and reading I doubt he has 0 in self custody. Even if it's only 1% of his stash... (rumors 10-20k Bitcoin) ... He has more than most people on here in self custody. 
 no idea on motives etc. 

just doubt he has 0 he actually owns 
 It’s a hot wallet on a laptop running Windows XP and Internet Explorer. 
 I didn't say it was secure or well done self custody 🤣 
 It’s on his spank machine. 😂

I did hear somewhere that Microstrategy had an in-house custody solution where a certain percent of the stack was.

I have no idea of course, but fun to speculate for shits and giggles.

 Who’s down with SBB? 
 I disagree. He’s not like Peterson who just tries to virtue signal Bitcoin support when it’s convenient. He did a 12 hour podcast series with Breedlove on the history and nature of money and seems to really get it.

I don’t think some of the stuff he says about “digital property” and “digital energy” he completely believes. I think he’s just aware that in his position, he can’t come out and advocate for the fall of the dollar and of governments because it puts a big target on his back and the back of his business and Bitcoin in general.

I do think he has a huge rug risk; although I doubt it would be a straight up visible rugging. It’s much more likely that microstrategy gets captured by the government and the coins become de-facto captured in my opinion. 

Your two sats are as good as mine though. 
 Breedlove? More like Bitcloutlove 
 🤣 
 Bitclout. Can’t even log into it anymore. My own fault lol. 
 I can’t see him coming out dicing himself that he has a personal $300m brainwallet stash either.

Also his podcast with Saif regarding Rothbard. He’s legit. Not quite an anarcho-capitalist yet (see pod for where he jumps off the train) but he’s not far. 

My vote is he’s legit, effecting change the best way he knows how. 
 That’s a reasonable take. And these are not times of reason but times of emotions, so thanks. Too many radicals get ignited by these comments and that confirms that they are indeed radical doomsday anarchists (lot’s of them living here at Nostr). That’s all-right. Bitcoin does not need Saylor nor needs any paranoid techo-anarchist.  Both are just defending their position and investments in a permissionless space, so it’s all right. Both are defending their Bitcoin (the idea of it they invested in, and their sats). And that’s all right. Too much time spent discussing influencers. Interesting remarks by the reporter though. 
 If he sold like that, he’d have an army of pleb albeit mainly minion reputation flushed down the drain.

You may very well be right but I doubt this is his play.

Who knows. 
 Having said this— any paper holding of this magnitude is concerning. To the effect of nyknyc — have at it. Fair game. 
 I don't think he will sell, he's just still trapped in the normie mindset about finance and custodians etc. He didn't get bitcoin at first, but he changed his mind. Maybe he will realise he's wrong about this too at some point. Like when he gets rugged. 
 Not saying I told you so …

Oh well … life goes on. 😂 
 I AM SAYING I TOLD YOU SO IVE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS NOW AND NO ONE BELIEVES ME
