 The attack on Saylor seems very coordinated & centralized for such a decentralized protocol like BTC.  🧐🧐🧐🧐

Mallers tossing in his 2cents now. 

All of this is such a net positive as it shows how early we still are and that we’re really living through the infantile stage of growth.  Bullies piling on in the schoolyard. 
 Bitcoin is for everyone.  Even enemies or people you don’t agree with.   Kind of like free speech. 
 I wait for my enemies on the side of the river. They always float by eventually. And I usually just poke their body with a sharp stick for fun as they do. 
 Remember when a bunch of people recently started bad mouthing Wallet of Satoshi because it was custodial and they said it would do shotgun kyc on everyone, and then suddenly launched their own custodial wallet with kyc instead? Surely no ulterior motives this time though.  
 Surrounded by slime. 

Cycle already getting fun. 
 Yessir 😂 
 Pomp will chime in soon on this as well. Then you know it’s legit. 

Was Mallers wearing a baby bonnet in that video as well?  So weird. 
 Michael Saylor has done more for my worldview and wealth than all these more minor bros put together.  Saylor is focused on institutional adoption of Bitcoin these days and will possibly become the wealthiest person on earth.  I’m watching him. 
 Fanbois unite. 

Saylor means nothing to me personally. I just call out lairs when they lie.  Odell is stirring a pot just to do it. And it also benefits him. 
Jack & Jack confuse me a bit. 
Cathie Wood offers a competitive product to Saylors stock.  She’s also a vindictive bitch so there’s something there for sure.  None of these characters can be trusted. They’ve lost my respect. 
 Cathie is emotional like all women . Logic prevails in this world 
 👀

Mallers seemed pretty emotional as well. I was waiting for soft music & maybe a few tears.  

“Please support the homeless & puppies”. 
 I don’t think he actually believes that he’s just catering to the ops . Either way Saylor is right lol 
 🤣 

Something is brewing under the surface. That’s why they are acting this way 
 They’re staring into the abyss. 
 Reminds me of the Swan fud he started from a few months ago. Turns out they were just mining in secret. Cory played him too good lol 
 I said the same thing the day he started this FUD. 

Fuckin clown now. 
 I find his perspectives valuable but he's sold a lot of his stock lately for fiat 
 I’m not explaining this to you. I’m just not going to. 
Have a good day. Eat a peanut butter sandwich. 
 no explanation needed. have a good day too 
 He announced the upcoming stock sales clearly in January and said he would use the proceeds to buy Bitcoin and for personal obligations. 
 Like @DarthCoin, I’ve been posting my scepticism of Saylor long before Odell posted his note about Dev funding.

I don’t know either of them, have had few interactions with them on #nostr (you can login with my npub to verify) and nowhere else.

I’m not coordinating with anyone, it doesn’t seem like anyone else is to me either.

Some of us are just wired different to you. We think adversarially. We think about incentives. And our bullshit detectors don’t have off switches. This is good for #Bitcoin. 

Saylor has simply been piling up a list of non-Bitcoiner things said of late and is being called out for it. 
 But the midjourney bitcoin pics are so authentic!

 It’s almost like your bs detector was working last year too!!!! Wow! 
 Ok sure Jan. 
A monkey throwing shit against the wall isn’t a bullshit detector. It’s a monkey tossing shit. 

Saylor scares you. It’s fine. Just admit it. He’s a scary dude. 
So shit in your hand & start throwing.   

Here’s my bullshit detector. You’re full of shit. 
 Saylor doesn’t scare me.

The psychopathic US Empire run by Zionists and the MIC is a different story.

 Ok. Now we can agree. 
 At worst it’s locked up forever. At best, they can’t keep it without continued work. Any action they take towards it legitimizes it over the long run.

Also, Bitcoin is for enemies. 
 As I always warned, Saylor is not a bitcoiner, is just a fiat maxi...

 Do you get paid in BTC?
How do you pay your bills currently?
Do you own any stocks or a 401K?
Do you spend cash money for daily livin?

Answer any of these simple questions the wrong way and you too are a Fiat maxi Darth. You too. 
Shocking right. 
 This is why part of me thinks drive chains might be a great idea, actually. It will make it cheaper and faster to create LN channels off main-chain without too drastically changing the way the rest of the network operates. Currently, we can't on-board millions of new people per day, as we will inevitably do if Bitcoin is to be something the average person uses daily.  We want a world without huge custodians, which would be better than what we have but still not quite the goal.

With Drive Chains, the 256 side chains could operate more quickly and with larger block sizes, which can get purged when synced with main regularly, allowing for a strong scaling effect. It's still decentralized too, as opposed to other "side chains" or custodians. 
 I like all of them. They've all had a positive influence on my Bitcoin journey. 

Maybe egos are getting a little too big?  
 No. It’s coordinated.  Yes by big egos but this is business.  And they’re not being transparent. 
 Maybe, it's definitely in the realm of possibilities.

It could also be that one person said something, then the next one called them to discuss, and it spread quickly like anything like that would in a small circle. 

They all know each other and probably talk within their "influencer" circle often. Things can spread fast. 
 Off to the rink. I’m done with this one. 
Crazy shit. Moving my care level to zero now. 
 Some poor goalie is about to get bullied  
 I'm not sure why everyone is so afraid of Michael Saylor? I missed the comments. Can someone post a link? Off the cuff, without knowing anything, I end up wondering why the fuss, when Bitcoin is a set number that can't be manipulated? 
So big companies doing their clearing in BTC doesn't stop individuals from doing what they want to do.. Let'em issue their own shitcoins with BTC backing them. If BTC gets bid up to the stratosphere, awesome for those long BTC. For everyone else, the economy will just chug along and people will settle trade at current market prices.. So, why so much concern.. Thanks for listening.
