Trying to steelman Saylor’s possible perspective … funding devs could be dangerous because they don’t know when to stop building. Recent changes expanded the block size in a obscure way and we got ordinals and network spam. Chances are extremely dangerous because they likely require an (almost) impossible hardfork to remove. Better to slow down development and really think things through before adding any other major features. Fewer, more experienced devs can take care of maintenance while major changes are baked longer. 🤷‍♂️ 

 From his POV, this makes sense, and it’s consistent with what others hypothesized. It’s difficult, but not impossible, to imagine what a man would do to protect that much wealth.
