@Michael Saylor clarified his statements in full support of self-custody and custody decision making. He didn’t have to do this, but the #bitcoin community immune response was so powerful. Probably a good move to now cause division and to reinforce #mstr positioning. Unfortunately there are morons in bitcoin that eat their own. Remember, #btc is for anyone. You don’t change gravity, you just build different vehicles to move through it.

For years I’ve said I can’t take Eminem seriously. His classic music is fantastic, but now when he makes new music… what are you mad at bro? You can’t even fake the persona at this point with your life of luxury. His roots were important, but people change. I only wish his music evolved with him. What’s your favorite Eminem classic? #musicstr #asknostr #grownostr

#bitcoin is not for everyone, it’s for anyone. This includes your family, friends, neighbors, companies, governments, and enemies. Protocols do not discriminate, nor do they need to.

@Michael Saylor has caught some heat for another interview with “controversial” comments on #bitcoin. But people are missing the point as always. 1. He is the executive chairman of a publicly traded and largest corporate bitcoin holder on Earth. He holds heavy responsibility to not promote anti-compliance, even if he personally believes otherwise. 2. Microstrategy is positioning itself to be the top bitcoin bank or #btc lender, in addition to #MSTR offering no interest and risk off exposure to bitcoin. The goal is to be better than the tradfi banks, so he’s walking a thin line by normalizing custody/yield with banks and why Microstrategy has a better solution than those “bad guys”. 3. The “crypto anarchists” he referred to were entities that do not comply with regulations, eg FTX who crashed the market by stealing funds. Has nothing to do with bitcoin except they happened to use bitcoin. And this caused massive drops in public sentiment and an easy access point for regulators. —Remember, 9/11 was a fluke, but the government would not let a crisis go to waste. Enter the PATRIOT Act that allows the government to spy on its citizens, none of who are terrorists. 4. Michael Saylor has done so much good for bitcoin and will be remembered as making the smartest financial decision of all time. He paved the way for responsible corporate adoption which will legitimize the asset so it doesn’t blatantly have to be used for anti-government activities. If you disagree with him just remember he doesn’t decide what happens in the US. 5. #touchgrass #grownostr

I really enjoy listening to @Michael Saylor but I’ve never heard someone ask his thoughts on the US government interfering with the #Bitcoin protocol. If a Coinbase loses customer funds, would the US, assuming it also held #btc, pressure the miners to approve a fork to make investors/custodians whole? If so, how would the world react and which fork would be chosen? I believe Fred Thiel of Marathon touched on this once about miners being elephants, horses, and rabbits. If most US miners are elephants, they can’t hide and they’re easy to capture. If there are more miners that are horses and rabbits (fast and can hide), then the #plebs have a chance. #grownostr #asknostr

Thinking about the concept of putting my time into orbit. Getting a satellite into space takes a lot of energy. Once it exists the atmosphere and enters orbit, minimal maintenance work is required. Apply this to your life and you’ll be amazed how your time frees up, you make more money, you can focus on the things you want. What are you struggling to get into orbit? #asknostr #grownostr

I hate the “you just need X amount of #bitcoin” posts. No amount is “enough” for a scarce asset. You can’t count on more being readily available at a deflationary rate over time. You never heard people say you just need one mid-sized house. Traditionally people have acquired as many properties as possible. And those aren’t fungible, scarce, or even desirable most of the time. It’s actually horrible and irresponsible advice to convince people to be content with 0.1 #btc or some arbitrary amount.

I notice the #bitcoin community latches onto (non-bitcoin) words or phrases at the same time. The current obsession is “Steel Man” or steel manning an argument. This is coming up in some many podcasts and posts. Sometimes this is used to focus on the strengths of a differing bitcoin opinion, or usually an anti-bitcoin argument. Either way I’m sick of hearing it. Looking forward to next week’s word!

When people say #bitcoin has no intrinsic value I laugh… You do NOT want money to have intrinsic value. It should only be a financial asset. One day that house that makes up the majority of people’s net worth may not seem valuable to anyone, not just because of de-gentrification in big cities, or weathering, or the outdated design and plumbing, or inexplicable rising costs and mortgage rates. But because you can’t move that property. It takes months to find buyers, hire inspectors, go through negotiations, pay fees to realtors, etc. Why is it hard to sell? Buyers need to see the intrinsic value to justify paying the massive premium on junk houses. #HFSP For the record, #btc has intrinsic value, but not in the way dumb money (regular people) can understand.
