 Michael Saylor is a fucking idiot  https://v.nostr.build/mvjdOmH4x16igf44.mp4 
 i knew this dude was a fake ass dunce since bitcoin miami. I’ll never forget the looks i got when i audibly scoffed at his bs when he spoke 😂 
 I will also never forget how you drove Udi out of nostr 🧡 🤣 
 what even happened to that dude 
 Doing God's work 
 What helps is that Microstrategy owning 250,000 #Bitcoin doesn't make him in charge 
 MICROSTRATEGY OWNS ZERO BITCOIN 

THEY OWN IOUS FROM COINBASE  
 This is also true 👌  
 And Fidelity as well 😱

I knew it was low, but I didn't realize his understanding of self-custody is that low 
 I thought Fidelity self-custodied? 
 They self-custody, but Microstrategy has to trust Fidelity that they are doing the self custody properly. It's no different from an individual keeping their sats on an exchange 
 Only 2 years ago, Canadian gov seizing and freezing accounts plus the super shady doxxing of donors on top... waiting for the 'muricans to do waaaaaay more than this when the rubber meets the road... Hope all you devs are readying preemptive soft forks candidates for when the time comes... Thanks in advance!! 
 Hmm I did not know that. 
 No. Coinbase doesn’t call the shots.

Coinbase and Brian Armstrong are the Central Bank’s bitch.

Uncle Larry is calling the shots. 
 Last year a bunch of people on here got mad at me for saying Saylor was a cunt and so are all the cunts who worship him. 
 😂 
 Hes always been a fiat maxi 👍 
 HUGS 🫂 Many get big madz on all the things. Let it be.  
 Period. 
 Who is the interviewer?

 I dunno. She seems to have her head screwed on right. 
 Tradfi, but covered bitcoin multiple times - maybe one day she will go full retard😅 
 She's put a few hours in, that's for sure.

A journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step. 
 Good question? Sounds like a kiwi or Aussie… never seen her before 
 Saylor is a custodial cuck. He needs scambase to hold his hand. He lost the plot long ago 
 Is he using Crypto Anarchist as a slur? 😂 
 I thought the same thing!  He's using it to be insulting, but I just heard a factual descriptor 🤣 
 I thought bitcoin anarchist is more fitting 
 Yes he is  
 You gotta love how Bitcoin kills all your heroes  
 Doesn’t always help that’s for sure 
 This is AI right.?.. 
 No.

Hes always been this way.
Since he was first on WBD he's sought regulatory compliance. 
 Never been nearly this blatant in my memory. Oh whelp 
 it was inevitable

statists gonna state 
 Saylor has always been an excellent example of a scaling problem.

Scaling to large companies and VC money necessarily invites these characters in.
They seek regulatory clarity to preserve their USD denominated purchasing power.

You want NGU?
You can have it.
The cost is the cypherpunk ethos that got bitcoin this far.

Regulatory capture is a real threat. 
 "But number go up, bro" 
 “They seek regulatory clarity to preserve…” so true dude. It’s always about number go up… Bitcoin seems to have lost its initial plans. Which is obvious when you have some jackass like Larry Fink saying he loves Bitcoin now 
 He is quite the ultimate douchebag statist cuck

Either this is a gross AI caricature of Saylor's selfishness and inability to fully grasp why #Bitcoin matters to the world, or he's an even bigger cunt than I thought.

Regardless, #Saylor never seems to care about anything beyond "number go up", and Bitcoin simply doesn't work that way. You cannot take self #custody, #privacy, #uncensorable #MoE, etc. out of the equation. Period. Or you can kiss Bitcoin goodbye.

A ₿rother just saw that video. He nailed it:
"He keeps saying "Paranoid Crypto Anarchists" as if it's an insult or something"
😂 👏 💯  

It's an understatement to say that "Bitcoiners" still simping for this TradFi boomer in 2024 have lost their way, and will almost certainly lose whatever Bitcoin they think they own (for those who actually hold their keys).

Good morning! 😊 
 A very bad take. He also thinks it won’t work as a money. As Bitcoin gets bigger, you’ll have more opinions. It’s ok if they’re wrong. As long as you protect your stack that you lost in a boating accident, you’re good.

People don’t believe their government can go corrupt until it happens to them. Even if it’s happened in that country, happens in that country, and happens all the time everywhere. He’s rich af and the system is working for him so he thinks it’s working forever. 
 Been saying it for years now, this dude is a GLOWIE!! 
 A cuck in chads clothing 
 More bitcoin has been seized from the “crypto anarchists” than regulated companies. No lie detected 
 This is the same guy who said he lost his bitcoin in a boating incident, “tax that!” ?? 
 He's a two faced scammer 
 It's the next FTX.  
 Saylor stacks all those days, that gives your stash its fiat value. You owe him. 
 Tell him to sell those coins and tank the fiat value, I don’t want that value, I’ll take the sats 
 Fucking simp lmfao  
 I dunno man

you're pretty quick to pull out fiat charts when it suits you. 
 I don't owe him shit. 
 rent seeking saylor NGMI 
 I’m sorry you got your feelings hurt.

 It is a risk for large companies, not individuals!
It doesn't matter ⚡⚡⚡⚡ 
 I don’t hold it against him that I got in way earlier, and cheaper. 
 So bad I’d be willing to believe it’s ai

 He is stuck in a traditional finance mindset, and I am not sure how he managed to integrate himself into the Bitcoin community. It sometimes makes me question the community and their ability to understand Bitcoin. You never know what other people really think. 
 COCAINE'S A HELLOVA DRUG 
 AND SO IS FIAT 
 Bro needs to spend some time outside the US and not in a podcast studio, he might learn something about governments not being your friend

I guess the pleb experience is lost on him because he has been rich for so long 
 Agreed. Either he’s a spook and he’s doing this at someone else’s direction -or- he has autistic levels of self-awareness of how big the target on his back is.

Has to be the former.

Not all self custody Sats are kyc, hidden, or evading.

Damn, you might be onto something. 
 Everybody is paying taxes voluntarily, right? Right? 
 Lol 
 I knew I disagreed with the man before, but wow… 
 I am sorrybut what is the source of this clip? Do you know what interview was that. I would like to check the source. 
Don’t trust, verify. 

I know he is part of current system, compliace is fine for him but this clip is a bit to far gone as for Saylor. 
 Yep, there it is.
He is posting that (part 1) on Twitter.
This comment is in part 2

 Well done for posting the source. 
 last cycle it wasn't the hardware wallet manufacturers wanting your money you needed to watch out for, if WAS FTX/CELSIUS/BLOCKFI etc.

also who cares if 99.99 percent of the Fiat money isn't in Bitcoin yet 
 He chose to trust Fidelity. He's not obliged to learn by history, nor obliged to verify. Good luck!

I don't think we will see him using nostr either. He still trusts centralized solutions!

Don't trust, verify! 
 Terrible take from Saylor here. 
Fuck man, I thought he was one of us. 
 "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS, WHO COME TO YOU IN SHEEP'S CLOTHING, BUT INWARDLY THEY ARE RAVENOUS WOLVES." - MATTHEW 7 15

(He's worse than an idiot, for those that aren't understanding his greed and the corresponding risks. Follow the incentives.) 
 What a shitshow 
 Keep stacking Sats 😎 
 meh... Saylor is clearly in a position where he benefits from others having confidence in establishment financial vehicles.  He may indeed be an idiot... or he may just be spouting a self-serving narrative.  The last thing he wants is for the real confirmed idiots (elected officials) to realize that Bitcoin won't be tamed. 
 One more year and he's buying shitcoins 😂 
 Monero fixes this 😂 
 Monero fixes nothing  
 Be real man, you are smart enough to understand that what you say is bullshit  
 Monero doesn't need to fix anything, because it already started without the problems that BTC has. Monero is real money, BTC is a store of value, and I don't know for how long it will be. 
 Only if the house is secret. 
 Saylor is a tripple FIAT maxi. 
 Sometimes it is nice not to be alone in your beliefs.

It sounded greedy to me. But maybe just like anything else, we are best at spotting our own shortcomings. I do greedy sats things too.

 Michael Saylor is not a fucking idiot.
That's the problem. 👀 
 Where are my old notes 🗒️ 

Can’t find them regarding him so I’ll just leave this here for others …

Drugging others 
Mentally abusing them 
Having your friends do the same 

It’s literally mental torture on humans. The amount of beautiful people in the world who are destroyed daily is astounding. 

Then you allow others to do it online and IRL as some type of social experiment? Initiation? 

Gross 🤢 behavior & negligence on the ones who believe you have to act like ( ignorant ) fraternity brothers to be a part of #bitcoin 

There is darkness & corruption worldwide. 

My heart goes out to humanity. I’ll never stop supporting others. 
 
 I've been saying this for years.  Saylor, Trump, Thiel,  etc are not on our side.  They do not want a Bitcoin revolution.   They want a bitcoin backed dollar, with KYC and AML, they hate self custody, they hate privacy, they hate freedom.   We must not let these people dictate Bitcoin policy or they'll turn it into a CBDC.

 I am a firm believer in the old adage "it's better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and prove it." That being said, Saylor needs to open a dang history book. Even the ones offering a whitewashed version of history would tell him that the people DID NOT willingly give their gold to the government. They gave their cans and nylon pantyhose willingly, not their gold. Not their value. Not their worth. It was taken by a government mandate. 
Saylor fanboys, come get your leader. He's lying.

 is that real? i am confused, you never know today :-) 
 Well, it's in line with how he talks. It does not come as a surprise to me at all. In how far it is Machiavellian talk to appease his Wallstreet friends I don't know. 
 i knew he doesnt use self custody 
but that he uses such explanation for the reason
surprised me really 
 ...always has been. 
 lol to a you clowns who think any of these “personalities” give an actual fuck about your perceived narrative. 

Bitcoin literally keeps on ticking and does not give a fuck. 
 When someone has recorded thousands of hours of podcasts, it’s easy for a short clip to misrepresent their views or for them to occasionally use the wrong words. But I clearly remember him repeating the message “think for yourself” countless times. His opinions are his own, and he always encourages others to form their own thoughts, which I really respect. He’s introduced more people to this space than anyone else over the past 15 years, and today he speaks the language of institutional money. While he focused on retail investors for the last few years, now he’s shifting to bring big money into the space, and big money trusts big banks. That’s fine—just remember to hold your own keys. Some people will trust the banks, and that’s their choice, but you don’t have to. 
 His CIA assigned job is to co-opt bitcoin. 
 lol no 😂 
 ”Introducing people to the space” has no value. If anything it is detrimental to bring in people who don’t understand what they are getting into. 
 Can we have that in high resolution? 
 Self custody only. Hold your keys, backup your keys, geographically disperse your keys. Saylor is a spook. 
 Man's a genius on paper no?  
 So was communism  
 I've been saying for a while now that Sailor is just another evangelist who, in the end, will become the biggest threat to the very movement he once led. The Bitcoin Jesus story is going to repeat itself...

 Dont hate the player hate the game. 
 What would you expect him to say. He wants people to buy MSTR instead of the ETFs, which is probably the worst exposure proxy to bitcoin at this stage.

He can't say everyone should self custody, MSTR will go to zero and he will have to deal with billions of dollars worth of loans.

 Saylor made some incredible points here at the risk of personal reputation, thats the most respectable thing hes ever done even if you personally disagree with his opinion. Clearly he was lying about being a Bitcoin maximalist, only no one was able to call him out on it. Total check mate by Michael Saylor over the Bitcoin maximalist community

 Can we ask Saylor which gold holders held onto their gold post E.O. 6102? 

The paranoid gold holders with gold in safes/buried or the custodial customers?  
 This real? LMAO

Yay we’re killing yet another hero. This is the way 🤣🤣🤣🤣 
 He seems frustrated. All those stupid paranoid crypto anarchists getting scammed by Hardware wallet vendors. 🤷🏻‍♂️ 
 Gave billions of coins to Coinbase to avoid spending $35 on a jade

Checkmate blockstream  
 😂 He’s free to do what he wishes with his stack and to trust whomever he likes. That’s the beauty of it. 
 The fact that he always has a coke in hand has been my cue from day one to have one in mind and that he is probably not to be fully trusted... doesn't mean he hasn't had some brilliant takes... most sociopathic charismatic figures on the podium do.

 M. Saylor lied on the executive order in 1933 for gold. The order was an obligation, if you don’t comply, it was a crime, as written a penalties of $10k or 10 years imprisonment or both... Saylor commited a big mistake, what a shame
