 "Stop talking about regulatory arbitrage. Censorship-resistance, privacy, and tax evasion are bad ideas. We hate that... People with billions of dollars don’t want to invest in crypto networks that support anarchists."

~Michael Saylor on #privacy https://video.nostr.build/72ed20e441e2d432be7b424fa53f7faabe85134fb5f33c32c436390865e92dc9.mp4 
 Fuck Saylor

 Who wants Bitcoin without evading taxes ??? 
 Hmmm, watching this I see a dom leash on Saylors neck held by the fed holding a whip. Anyone has got the dominatrix meme template for that or some other bending the knee theme meme?  
 If the unit is #sat - it is medium of exchange 

If the unit is #bitcoin - it is store of value ..

Talk about  #sats .. .. actual unit of network is Sats  ....  fix Bitcoin education ..  
 People with billions of dollars got it through the fiat spigot, without exception. Of course they are only interested in bitcoin to the degree they can control it. 
 He is right, but for the pro-privacy vision, we must first change our own vision twice: 

1️⃣ Crypto as a technological product 
2️⃣ Crypto as an investment product.

This will make cryptocurrencies a simple tool for survival.

 His stated goal is to open a bitcoin bank. Of course he wants all of the regulation. The regulation would protect his monopoly. 

Just keep stacking sats, establish fat lightning channels and ensure your own liquidity. Fuck saylor and his bank.  
 No - you are reading/hearing him wrong.

The CURRENT system requires regulatory guardrails. For #Bitcoin to be mass adopted it needs to at least fit in with the current system.

Understand that's why MOST people don't own/see #Bitcoin yet! They are stuck in the fiat fish bowl and can't see out!

Once you start understanding Bitcoin is yours (not like the fiat you think you own that your bank owns) you start to think.

We NEED what Saylor is saying!

Saylor is going to make money w/his Bitcoin just like all of us at some point. The more people use the Bitcoin network, the better off we all will be and most important the better of those using it will be.

See BIG picture. Saylor customizes message for audience. 

What we can do now? If in wealthy nations self custody your Bitcoin and HODL 10+ years. Stack enough to change your life. Hurry - the last 100X is the next decade. 
 We can agree to disagree on the benevolence of Michael saylor. 

I can't control what he does... I'll just keep stacking. I agree with 10+ years.
