Oddbean new post about login | logout Ooooooh. I get a Bro response. I’ve made it. This is a good day. Read the last sentence again though. “Build the entire ecosystem” ………..related to L2, L3 +++++ I’m just trying to make sense of your comment. Saylor just bulling ETF’s is fucking retarded to say. I’m trying to give some ammo or reasoning for this ridiculous statement.
Saylor is a statist just listen to him on episode 187 of the Bitcoin standard podcast. Microstrategy is also a 15 minute drive from the CIA office, think whatever you want of that. Saylor probably doesn’t fund bitcoin development because the way it is today is more efficient and profitable for him. He needs dollars to continue playing fiat games with bitcoin. No one knows for sure what his intentions are but I’m very suspicious of him. https://video.nostr.build/504e7ce93035dac036002c4db8ae9fc2de9aa0939cbd38da4e517828cb61dcc9.mp4 https://video.nostr.build/0124c98cbc1dc484ab63f43a2eee9d1c74409e5cb043c1de200682fd7de4dff9.mp4

If you really care about the full context, listen to the podcast episode I referenced and tell me if you think he’s not a statist haha
@nobody
Fiat currency is here to stay for generations and billionaires are not going to self custody. Where is the lie in those statements?
There’s no point in arguing about the future of fiat or how billionaires will custody their bitcoin because no one knows what’s going to happen. My point is that we shouldn’t trust saylor simply because he stacks a lot of Bitcoin especially when he seems like a huge statist and doesn’t support open source development.
Diplomacy bro. No one wants to get their heads chopped off
Exactly until Billionaires don’t rely on the state for some measure of protection, securing resources, whatever is provided, it all shall exist. People will keep doing stuff to get the things they want and at some point they don’t care at all about hidden costs. Check your desperation and motivation but how do you really know until you are tested?
That’s very possible and something I considered but we can’t ever know what is in his mind so his intentions don’t matter to me. His actions do. If he did block Bitcoin development, then fuck him. It’s like Michael Bitstein said, “everyone is a scammer.” Saylor is stacking his bag with tools that people like us don’t have access to. No one can get loans at the interest rates he can. People like us need the open source development of things like mutiny, sparrow, nostr, mempool.space, whirlpool.
All FIAT will be gone in under 30 years.
@The Minnaar Collection
Yes, most people are statists. Bitcoin helps protect one from them. Ironically, Saylor's acquisition and holding strategy strengthens bitcoin and fosters more liberty. Net positive in my opinion
I think basically Saylor has a model that needs to remain predictable. Devs yeeting shit to prod and doing NOTHING when a spam explot is discovered does not lead to a predictable environment. So you starve the devs and ossify as much as you can.
