 In my #bitcoin journey, @Ian always says you gotta experience at least one halving then overtime you understand Bitcoin better. That’s why learning that this is Saylor’s first-ish has me surprised. He is referenced so often! 
 This is true. This is my third, but I was completely unaware of the first, became aware of the last one, but was distracted by 💩🪙s. 

Now, I have Zen.  
 See, that is a more relatable experience for most interested in learning more about #Bitcoin. & you catching on 10 years ago just means you’re actually an early adopter (which I am not, just like most people on the planet) so I would actually have something to learn from you about how to open my mind to new ideas 
 You're doing great, as determined by listening to your pod!  
 Think he got in around 2017 no? Maybe that was personally instead of with MSTR. Either way I think that people like to idolize or demonize too easily. Personally I think he may have had good reason to stop btc devs being directly paid by ETF institutions. That was my understanding of why people took a dislike to him. That and he doesn't like BTC as a currency.  
 Thank you for explaining this. And he has a right to that opinion. Seems like because of his immense holdings of btc everyone gets panicked if they don’t agree with his opinion. As if he’s in charge. Let’s not give one person that much influence over something decentralized. 
 Bitcoin doesnt care! 🫡
