 Saylor is the bridge from Tradfi and he's getting roasted for it. Laying down morals on a guy for exploiting the failing system is ridiculous.  He's found a way to literally take printed money and save it in harder money.  More companies and countries should and WILL be doing this. He's just the first so he's getting taking all the shots. I have no issue with what he's doing.

 Completely agreed. 
We have reached the point where he cannot POSSIBLY be perceived (in full global public view) as the leader of an anti-statist movement. 
I used to watch his videos and think “Fck. One day, they (the state) are going to come after him with a vengeance.”  

That day probably already came. Hence, his complete 180 on self sovereignty. 

Now he can say to the/his SEC/USG overlords, “don’t pay any attention to those whacky crypto-anarchists. They are harmless. (And I’m NOT one of them) The Bitcoin world will be regulated. It serves no threat to the state. Don’t you worry, little 80 IQ public servant” 

My take is that he is buying us precious time. And my sense is that he knows it. 

When I game theorised it in my head over a year ago, this is EXACTLY where it came out. 

Hyperinflation of western fiat is closer than anyone previously thought. Just look at gold and silver. 

In truth, we don’t need much more time. The more people with V for Vendetta (Bitcoin) masks on, the harder we are to target. That’s the play, IMO. And like him personally or not, Saylor has been and continues to be in service of that. 

Rant over 🤣

 Exactly. Everyone got butthurt failing to recognize that he's saying things some need to hear to let him be. Keep stacking everyone.
