 This is the take I've waited for. Thank you. 

Most people on Twitter seem to think Saylor schooled Saif, but i think Saif has thought this through further than Saylor. 
 Anyone who thinks Saylor won this argument is retarded. Sorry @Bender but that goes for you too.

You don’t have to like Saifedean but he will tell you the truth in a way no-one else will **because** he’s an ideologue who has actually thought this shit through.

When you disagree with Saif you’re not disagreeing with him necessarily but rather you’re disagreeing with the proper application of Austrian economics and that’s a recipe to get your face ripped off.

He’s so ideological he’ll put theory ahead of his own ego. I think he gets a bigger kick out of being right than he does making money which puts him in my
“Won’t be a Billionaire” bucket but whilst he keeps on being right. 
 I don’t necessarily think anyone won. I think the conversation was awkward and I really didn’t enjoy listening to it.
I also don’t really care. 
I borrow money and buy bitcoin at a much higher % than Saylor pays. I’m ok with it.
I don’t know what I’m gonna do in the future.
At the end of the day opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and they generally stink. 
 You’re right, no-one won this argument. I was waiting for Saif to bury Saylor and he just didn’t. He was far too polite.

But Saif was on the right side of the argument.

You’re lucky that you’re still in #Bitcoin but you’ve already reached your Sats peak and will never get to the same level again.

I don’t mean that as a shame but rather as a caution for others to not go buying houses with corn. 
 Yeah you’re right. Unless something drastic happens my corn stack maxed in may.
I’m perfectly fine with that though.
I need a place to call home. A place for my girl to call home and a place for my kid that’s gonna be here early next year to grow up in. 
 Absolutely. I’m glad you used corn for your family rather than some degen stuff. That is what it’s there for after all. 

Think you could have improved your timing but life and the world moves on regardless of our timings. 
 I agree it would have been better to hold off a year. But I sold at $105k so it’s been pretty good to date. Mrs is happy so I is happy.
