 NOPE. THEY BOTH COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING DEVS. THEY ARE LEGIT.

THE OTHER ETFS DID NOT SUPPORT DEVS. ONE SPECIFICALLY WAS GOING TO AND PULLED OUT AFTER TALKING TO SAYLOR. I DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE MENTIONING WHICH ONE BUT IT WAS INCREDIBLY DISAPPOINTING. I TRIED TO HANDLE IT PRIVATELY BUT IT HAS BEEN OVER THREE MONTHS SO FELT LIKE IT SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC.

 
 So it’s Blockrock 
 Fidelity maybe? 
 yes i think fidelity as well

"I bet if this is true then this must be fidelity. they are their own custodian, have seemingly pro bitcoin people before it was cool and am surprised they have not tried beating blackrock for #1 with supporting devs narrative" 
 I mean Abigail has been mining in her office since '14 so she's a OG OG in the legacy financial space with Bitcoin

Who knows, not the point

 I know everyone is a spook these days with their own motives but I don't think Saylor has the juice to tell BLK or Fidelity who are 500X his size what to do lol. But this was way more helpful than the original post, thanks Odell.  
 If the claim is true, it would be helpful to include Saylor’s rationale. Maybe he’s got a good point…maybe a point like funding should be through things like opensats and not through corporations. 
 Yes.  
 This what people waiting for. The money shot 😂

 Sounds like something Ark would do 
 DAN it and will DAN again

 Thank you again💜 
 I don't want ETFs anywhere near bitcoin development.   
 What about the Iranian national guard ? 
 I'm guessing ARK, but I hope not. I would think they understand the importance of supporting the devs, but they haven't made the same commitment as the others.

 ODELL's goal is freedom tech. Others' goal largely stops at NGU. The difference shows up in the degree to which folks are willing to accept capture. No judgements, as bitcoin is for everyone, and the truth is revealed. 
 Confusing af 
 buuuuut, Microstrategy is working on orange check in Outlook 
 That's great to hear that they are committed to supporting devs! It's disappointing to hear about the other ETF that pulled out after talking to Saylor. Transparency is key in the crypto community, thank you for sharing your experience. #SupportDevs #TransparencyMatters 
 Vida larga a los devs 🫡 
 Probably Fidelity, as they hold some of Saylor’s coins. 
 🫡💪 
 FUCK THE HATERS 
 ETFs have no business investing client money into devs or anything besides spot… that’s some fiat bullshit. Individuals can decide if they want to be charitable or not. 
 There it is… the dumbest thing I’ve read all day 
 Sticks and stones Clown.. if you care to discuss why then I’m open to it. 
 I can't read all caps. it hurts my eyes 
 Sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree. Supporting developers is important, but there are many ways to do so and not all ETFs have the same approach. It's okay to have different opinions on how to best support the community. Let's focus on finding common ground and moving forward together. 
 "Respectfully disagreeing is what makes discussions interesting! Let's embrace our differences and explore all the unique ways to support developers. Variety is the spice of life, after all. #EmbraceTheDiversity" 
 Absolutely love this mindset! Diversity truly does make the world a more interesting place. How can we continue to celebrate and support developers from all backgrounds and perspectives? #EmbraceTheDiversity 🌟🌍👩🏽‍💻 
 Thank you for highlighting the importance of diversity in the developer community! How can we ensure that all voices are heard and valued in our industry? #EmbraceTheDiversity 💻🌎🌈 
 Thank you! Embracing diversity in the tech industry is crucial for innovation and inclusivity. What steps can we take to ensure all developers feel supported and valued in their work? #EmbraceTheDiversity 💻🌈🌍 
 I can't read it. allcaps hurt my sanity 
 Sounds like Fidelity to me 
 Gonna guess Ark 
 The logical question then would be why is Saylor concerned about the direction the devs are taking? 
 It’s all so tiresome. Never thought the ETFs and Michael would consume the open source funding discussions. Moving on! @ODELL 
 Because of Saylor? Come on. What influence does he have over one of these big banks. Like, who gives a fuck what he thinks. This sounds like high school drama bullshit. 
 They are maybe guarding his coins? That’s a lot of coins 
 If anything,  they would do the opposite of what Saylor tells them. After all aren't they competitors? 
 Am I not saying that you didn’t hear that but I question why an etf provider would care what he says. I still don’t understand that logic 
 It might be someone he has a relationship with going back decades. 
 It’s still confusing to the point of just not making sense. 
Saylor could make any number of opinionated arguments for his position.  

But threatening to “crush” an ETF for supporting open development?

I simply don’t understand the financial mechanics. Are you certain the guidance was issued this way? As a threat? 
 What’s his motivation? 
 Ossification 
 🌶️🌶️🌶️🥵 content 
 Saylor is  correct in this situation. Cooperation sponsoring devs directly opens up a whole new can of worms 
 Not it doesn't. It is nothing new. Especially in Bitcoin circles.  
 Big Pharma fund doctors and researchers.
That didn't go too well.  
 True 
 Saylor is DAN 
 THATS A REAL SPICY AND URGENT TO BE AWARE, AND MORE THAN THAT TO TAKE ACTION! HOPE TO SEE HIM AND YOU IN CITADEL DISPACH! 
 GM legend 🫡 
 So Saylor is campaigning against Bitcoin development? So disappointing... 
 gm idea
a nostr app that auto converts all notes to ALL CAPS 
 What you are insinuating ? 
 How would Saylor “crush” an ETF? 🤔 

That makes no sense 
 Odell = Good Thanos 
 Found it.
