Oddbean new post about login | logout Samson is as self serving as anyone but he has a very valid point here. Saylor is a huge net benefit for bitcoin but he’s also a risk… —people are generally pretty stupid and will blindly follow him. Think about that for a minute. 🧡🍻👊🏻 nostr:note1g5zcw7zfj0w3cgmu8x4s73ua94rp6eey2092ywccy39zuqu8ju0s2w2ma9
Saylor orange pilled me in 2020, so I’m a huge fan. BUT his comments in the interview were damaging. Self custody is critical to BTC’s future and Saylor is not. He can go F himself if need be.
💯 I also think hes a smart guy and he’ll be very subversive from here on out because nobody has ever questioned him before. His business model is threatened by self custody. I expect him to keep moving further away from our self interests to protect his own.
I think you also need to consider the audience he was addressing in the interview: which are large institutional players, pension funds etc. I don’t believe @saylor is against self-custody. It’s just not for everyone. Not for his target audience, that’s for sure. I think he knows exactly what he is doing. The man has done tremendous good for #Bitcoin and l believe he will continue to do so.
