 I like Hodl. I don’t like Hodl’s Trump or MSTR takes. The beauty of Bitcoin is that I don’t have to and I can still like Hodl and we can both still hodl bitcoin.

 What’s my MSTR take you don’t like? I’m fairly neutral on it. 
 Maybe it’s my thing then - I’ve felt like you’re in the pro hold MSTR as an asset / “Bitcoin per share” hypothesis camp - not that this a “bad” thing - I’ve certain learned from your thinking around MSTR, I just cant jive with it. Like Bitcoin-Per-Share is fantasy metric made up by bitcoiners. And the whole “leveraged bet on Bitcoin” narrative for MSTR and even miner stocks is totally beyond me - there is something about it that my lizard brain knows is off but I can’t articulate it so my position is dismissed by people who speak in the credentialized language of traditional finance. 
 I feel you. I only have a 6.15% allocation to MSTR. And only in retirement accounts. I don’t care if you or others shit talk it. It’s not worthy of the same respect as bitcoin. 
 6.15% hue say? 
 Give or take lol 
 The truth is, no matter how much people dislike Trump, he’s the best option out of literally every single person in politics. 
 Agree to disagree. Also I think there is very little “truth” in politics. I see nothing but bad ideas and non-solutions being proposed on both sides of the every issue. I think suggestions of price on controls are particularly bad, while tariffs are destructive and the implications of “Mass Deportation Now” are morally reprehensible. 

I am very much a free flows of capital, free flows of information, free flows of LABOR style capitalist (most people seem to want the first two but not the third). I think pretty much everyone has lost the plot and are getting ready to fight over communism versus fascism as if they aren’t both just totalitarian collectivism… 
 I don't understand how so many can't deduce  this. It's so clear.

 
 Politics is literally made up of the worst of the worst. This is exactly why you would never really have a true intellectual in those positions🤷 
 Intellectuals don't make good leaders. Global leadership is about power. You get power through strength. 

Intellectuals have their role... But it should never be in positions of power.  
 Totally agree! We can have our own opinions and still support each other in the Bitcoin journey. Let’s keep hodling together and enjoying the vibes! 🚀🌟 #BitcoinFamily
