Did you ask him about his skincare regime?
Good job btw. You allowed him to speak and didn’t keep interrupting like a few other interviewers out there.
Regarding developer funding: how do you think he answered? And or feels about it?
I must change my stance on it after listening to this interview. I use to think anyone can fund you and it should be ok as long as you decide to do the right thing. Now it seems to me as if he thinks big gov, big tech, big anything will always come back later and demand some “quid pro quo.” “Like diddy.”
So maybe he was trying to protect Matt Odell??? @Michael Saylor did say “the devil is in the details.”
This was an excellent discussion Peter. You pressed him politely and teased out some very interesting insights. Great job.
Agreed!
you’ve become a great interviewer pete
Do you think he shouldn't put his skin into games so much?
Ossify, get flipped
Peter, please ask @Michael Saylor why he continues to repeat that Bitcoin is “digital property.”
This is problematic because, as he surely knows, property is taxed annually.
Bitcoin is a digital COMMODITY.
property is not just real estate. property is a lot of things.
Yes, obviously. But according to GAAP, durable property (e.g. PP&E) is depreciated/amortized over its useful life, as prescribed by U.S. tax code. @Michael Saylor's description of #bitcoin as “digital property in cyberspace” is a reference to real property and an eager regulator is going to interpret it, accordingly.
Better to use words (and analogies) carefully. Commodities are not taxed or depreciated during holding periods — though they sometimes do erode. Additional bookkeeping (and thus taxation) only happens when they are bought, sold, leveraged, or exchanged. That’s what we want for Bitcoin.

Thank you Peter. Looking forward to hear Saylor's perspective!
He’s probably worried about developers like this:

Said multiple times he's not for ossification
Great talk. Seems like Saylor's position could be summarized as "willingness towards changes in the protocol should decrease at pace with the block subsidy only cubed"
1 hour in, loving it! 💜
This is actually really good (coming from someone who has watched a lot of Saylor pods). I enjoyed his admission about previously accepting inflation metrics and taking certain things for granted 🙏
Was some interesting rabbit holes. Thanks for a good time!
well that was a lot of information all at once.
Should have asked if he ever going to get married, start making kids and create a family dynasty!!
I guess every human has one imperfect choice 😳
Thought he has like 3 kids?
Few
I'm watching this now. Feel this was a needed discussion after some of the craziness lately.

Michael @Saylor has no wife or children. So what is in his will? #Bitcoin
Thank you for this interview Peter. Your discussion gave me lots to think over. I appreciate what you do and your podcast.
This is an important interview.
I struggle to care about my nation state's politics. It's tiresome, moronic and black pilling.
Bitcoin, on the other hand, is motivating, relevant and hopeful. That's why we're winning.
I think everyone should listen to Saylor's message, pertaining the future of the protocol, and think about it critically.

Saylor comes out flexing hard at @ODELL with those top shelf domains he owned.

I’ve been thinking a lot about it.
I know @Michael Saylor thinks about this sort of thing, and hope he will adjust his language.
I feel so silly rn...
Michael Saylor is a Clown.
Word is he is deeply upset to learn of this post....☝️
Because digital property is how it is currently classified by the IRS tax code?
In my view, the IRS *should* have treated it like a digital currency. That would have been fairer for miners.
But since but the CFTC (and now the SEC) both say it’s a commodity. The IRS should do the same so there’s agreement and consistency.
And the IRS should remove the double taxation that miners pay: currently once at the time Sats are mined, and then again when exchanged for fiat. That’s crazy. You don’t tax a gold miner for every scoop of earth they excavate, and then again when they sell the refined metal at market prices.
He is the king of analogies, I believed him when he said, he had 3 kids but he was making a point of families vs companies
I actually think this was a great interview. I think Saylor really appreciates you Peter, and almost encouraged you to ask questions this time around.
He is on the scale gracefully team - what's the problem?
Saylor‘s block size argument is strange. Weren‘t the miners on the big block side in the block size wars?
