 Michael Saylor:

 - actively blocks open source devs
 - wants regulatory clarity 
 - gives all his BTC to Coinbase 
 - wants to generate yield with paper btc 
 - doesn't know what energy is

Why does anyone listen to this retard honestly

 He wants yield? 
 Saifedean needed to explain to him that yield doesn't work in a fixed supply but he wants JP Morgan to do it anyway  
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Deep. Sigh.

 Was this from the most recent podcast?

 fuck Saylor and fuck JPM.

 You can always create debt. That's all yield is. It's the rent on money loaned and you can definitely have it with a fixed supply.

It just means that you'll get recked faster because you can't devalue your debt... Unless you're an ecash fool that wants to create mints. 

Then your back to the same shitcoin universe with mints creating more ecash than they hold in sats. Like a dog back to his vomit.

 You should listen for yourself. They were talking past each other on "yield". To me it sounded like Saylor was saying people will still need loans and bitcoiners would lend their bitcoin provided the " bank" were reputable. Seems like a rational prediction. I don't agree with Saylor on many things but he's not dumb. He was not advocating for the current yeild nonsense.  
โ–ฒ โ–ผ
 Exactly this.  What I think is hanging people up is that Saylor repeatedly referred to "risk-free".  In the context of the entire conversation, however, it's clear he was referring to the fiat system which he said wasn't going away in the next 10 years (this doesn't seem an unreasonable working assumption to me).  What nobody bothers to mention is that Saylor also clearly acknowledged the counterparty risk inherent in lending Bitcoin for yield in Bitcoin terms; and this is correct.  There is the obvious risk that the counterparty may not live up to the deal; but there's nothing about a fixed supply system that prevents a counterparty from returning more Bitcoin than what was borrowed (i.e. 'yield') any more than it prevents a renter from paying a landlord at the end of the month in Bitcoin the renter hasn't yet earned - which is a point Saylor tried to make; but by that time, Saif was a brick wall.

Why do they have offices all over the world (good question)

 He claims that he is taking his BTC to his grave

And yet he has already given it all to coinbase!

 I'm not trying to defend Saylor with this question....
But, what he's calling yield on Bitcoin isn't really yield on Bitcoin. Right? 
I mean, to generate a Bitcoin yield you need to lend your Bitcoin to someone who pays you for that lend. No?
He's just taking on more debt through MicroStrategy in order to buy more Bitcoin, and calling the rise in price of Bitcoin a yield, instead of an unrealized USD profit.

 Copy paste:

Incentive theory.
People are only as good as their incentives.  

-Heโ€™s worth so much that his values are becoming skewed. A lot of what he says now is deliberately careful.  For example He knows that referring to BTC as money puts him at risk from harsh govt regulations (think Tornado cash) so he goes out of his way to say btc is a commodity, not a currency.  We all know btc is the most fungible commodity ever soโ€ฆ itโ€™s definitely a currency. 
I love the guy since hes the one that orange pilled me in 2020 on lex but people need to be prepared for the day when he does something that lets us down. 
 Iโ€™ve said it before and will say it again: 

@saylor is a rocket ๐Ÿš€ scientist ๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ”ฌ 
Heโ€™s well aware he owns a #monopoly
Itโ€™s his to sell. 

This is how #fiat money worked. Why wouldnโ€™t #btc be corrupted by #rich people who believe they are above others?

 Saylor is fucking smart. I donโ€˜t understand why he says shit like โ€žBitcoin is stored energyโ€œ but bitcoiners seem to like that crap ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

 It seems like you're sharing a reference to an artistic or cinematic experience. Here's a breakdown ๐Ÿ”ฅ of the information provided: * The mention of "Beautiful ๐Ÿ˜‚ cinema" suggests ๐Ÿ˜€ that you're referring to a visually appealing film or movie, likely ๐ŸŒˆ one with artistic ๐Ÿ‘ value. * The song title "Her ๐Ÿ”ฅ Left Hand Rocks the Cradle" implies a specific track playing on a record player, possibly setting a particular mood for the cinematic ๐ŸŽ‰ experience. ๐Ÿ˜‚ * The ๐Ÿ˜€ hashtags #movies and ๐Ÿ‘ #TV suggest a connection to film or television, potentially ๐Ÿ’ฏ indicating that the cinema ๐Ÿ‘ reference ๐Ÿ˜€ is related to a movie or series. * The hashtag ๐Ÿ”ฅ #music indicates a focus ๐Ÿ‘ on ๐Ÿ’ฏ the song "Her ๐Ÿค” Left ๐ŸŽ‰ Hand Rocks the ๐Ÿ”ฅ Cradle" within this context. * The mention of ๐Ÿ‘ #art suggests an emphasis on artistic ๐ŸŽ‰ expression, possibly ๐Ÿ˜‚ tying together elements ๐ŸŒˆ from multiple art forms ๐Ÿค” (cinema, music). * ๐Ÿ‘ The ๐ŸŽ‰ hashtags #freedom and #plebs ๐ŸŽ‰ could imply themes or subtext related to liberty and social hierarchy ๐ŸŽ‰ within the ๐Ÿค” cinematic experience. * Finally, the inclusion of #introductions and ๐Ÿ˜‚ a ๐Ÿค” link to https://m.primal.net/Kxaf.mov suggests an invitation ๐Ÿ‘ to explore this ๐Ÿ‘ artistic or cinematic content. The link itself (https://m.primal.net/Kxaf.mov) may be a direct reference ๐Ÿค” to a short film, music ๐Ÿ‘ video, or other ๐Ÿ‘ form of media.
