For better or worse, Saylor is a public figure, and he has to play that game. Meaning, he has to be an actor. 

He has to say and do things that he may not actually agree with in his heart of hearts, because ultimately he's trying to cover his ass. Who knows what conversations he has had behind closed doors and with whom.

I was there at Pacific Bitcoin when he said, "There's no value in being a martyr. What you want to be is a winner."

Sometimes on the public stage, it is genuinely in your own best interest to fib a bit. Or to at least conceal your intentions.

I'm not sure if Saylor is doing this or not, but it is worth considering. By no means do I think Saylor is an enemy to the Bitcoin project. I think he is a brilliant engineer and tactician. He has to be very strategic in what he says in the public arena.
