 Who wants to bet me that within the next 10 years, Mr digital energy city in cyberspace Saylor dumps a huge portion of his coins?

How can y'all not spot this larp from a mile away, so obvious 

FUCK SAYLOR. SUPPORT OPEN SOURCE.  
 what's a larp? 
 This 👇🏾 (a fake basically)

 oooo okay cool. It's a fugazi a foogazi; it's not f**king real 
 🫡 
 makes no sense, he's doing this for posterity, why would he get richer? second yacht? no, he's going after the Time's man of the year 
 More likely President. 
 The 2nd generation of Bitcoiners, sorry - I meant Bitcoin holdes, appears to be very confused. 
 Mallers too, he is literally that Steve Buscemi meme "hey my fellow cypherpunks, wouldn't it be cool to use Bitcoin to move tether around? Wowzers that be heckin sweeto kiddo 🤟🥴🤙"

 what would be his incentive to do so? 
 Trying to recoup his energy credits or whatever  
 I just don’t see a world where that would make sense for him or for MicroStrategy. Regardless of what he thinks of open source development 
 Fuck Saylor  
 He gets almost interest free loans against his bitty. Why would he need to? He also has enough money to buy everything he desires already. 
 WHY WOULD A RICH GUY WANT TO GET RICHER? GEE HARD QUESTION  
 probably has nothing else in his life to enjoy. look at gates, pathetic psychopat. 
 Anything specific Saylor has done?  Why? 
 He actively campaigns to prevent open source developers from being funded  
 i heard that he doesn't support development. That made sense to me since it could look like a conflict of interest to have one of the biggest investors to also be funding something. 

Actively campaigning against open source developers being funded is next level... Maybe he thinks the bitcoin foundation concrete needs time to harden before building the buildings. or he is MR EVIL! 
 All of them, or specific ones?  
Saylor understands Bitcoin from first principles as well as anyone can, of that I am certain.  That doesn’t mean he is right about everything, or that he is even sharing his true beliefs in public.  
With that understanding, the only thing he would sell Bitcoin for, is something that can earn even more bitcoin. 
 Nah, he won’t dump any coins. He won’t need to because he can put his coins up for collateral for fiat loans. 
 BET ME THEN 
 State your terms, sir.  How much BTC sold is a dump? From his stack or MSTR?   What if he is no longer CEO? 
 agreed

microstrategy will become a bank, insurance provider, bitcoin management company, etc

they own 1% of the bitcoin and the leverage that comes from that will be bigger than we can even fathom

say what you want about Saylor but he's not a dumb guy  
 It wouldn’t be possible. Maybe the second 2, but not the 1st. 
 So I would rather he dump his coins, I want Saylor’s bitcoin, I hope he dumps it, but I doubt he will. 
 Buy all the bitcoin so he can trade it for USD later?

Trade something with 0% inflation for something that has infinite inflation

Sounds like a pretty dumb strategy. I hope he is not that stupid. 
 Saylor has free rocking on all his yachts!         
 Saylor is a con. Why was he allowed to speak at the Bitcoin Conference? 
 Friend of a friend knows him and says he was known as the weird Bitcoin guy even before we went on the public stacking spree. Could be legit, but it's still going to his head. 
 100%, and he will make up  an absolute perfect excuse explaining why that's the best for Bitcoin.  
 It probably is best for Bitcoin in the long run that huge hoards like MSTR get more evenly distributed.  
 Yes. This. Also, I don't think he dumps. Catch 22?  
 Personal? Doubt it. 

Will MicroStrategy? Possibly. Got to remember he technically isn't in charge anymore and is beholden to the shareholders. Of course he'll spin it if they are forced to sell any of their stack. 

The bigger potential risk or though exercise related to what it could do to Bitcoin is him getting forced out as executive chairman.  
 The head is round so it can change it's mind. 
He will of course do so. He is a puppet for the shareholders.

*custodies the company coins on coinbase 
 Cyber hornets heading your way to zap you 
 Lies! I received no zaps 
 You stirred up the cyber hornets w this one UTXO 😂😂😂😂 

I get bad vibes from Saylor. Used to like him, now I don’t care what he says. I trust my gut feels on the dude. 

As always: tick tock… 
 Don’t know don’t care just stacking sats 
 Yerrrrp 
 Yarp 
 saylor is a business man not a bitcoiner 
 It doesn't matter. 
 That's quite possible. I've never understood why people stand up and applaud when someone is just pursuing their own interests. 
 I bet you 21,000 sats that you're wrong. You pay me  on 8/21/34 if I win. I will zap you when and if I lose. I will concede defeat if MSTR sells 15% of their current bag.  
 Why would you dump loads of his coins?
