microsoft based corporate orange check
Their contributions to date have been educational and it would be kinda crazy to minimize them. They just started making the pivot to focus on Bitcoin technology. Would reserve judgement

MSTR doesn't have to pay for anything if they don't want to. Why are you crying for big corporation handouts so they can apply they own influence and control? Bitcoin development is volontary, you can donate if you like but not recommanded.

They can call themselves whatever they want, that doesn't mean they have to start throwing money on developers just to gain the permission to use a name. Bitcoin development means acquiring more for their shareholders, not funding devs to push saftforks.
Interesting insight. How do you interpret this behavior? Is Microstrategy simply selfish/ ambivalent or something worse? What's your take?
They have been building business tools. These will benefit Bitcoin by driving business adoption. They will also increase Microstrategy's cashflow, which will increase the amount of Bitcoin MS can buy and increase the Bitcoin price. This will benefit any foss devs who hold Bitcoin. BTW, github repos are only useful as long as Microsoft (which owns github) allows them to be. Do you have a backup plan?
I think I would like to see MSTR contribute to Nostr more than L1 Bitcoin. Their incentives, and Michael has talked about this until the cows come home, is that Bitcoin not change. I support them for that stance. But they should contribute, whether it's to L2 or Nostr. Building out the economies on Bitcoin are in line with their incentives, IMO.

Then you misunderstand what Bitcoin is. MSTR just own a few bitcoins but they do not own Bitcoin. If I am understanding you guys are calling for MSTR to take over Bitcoin core and make changes they like?

Lol you sounds more like you work for the gov, people like you with fancy hot who want to dictate what people should or shouldn't do. Going after after the rich for some stupid reason, thinking they are geniuses
LOL. You don’t know me. Your assumptions are full retard level. If I had MSTRs money I would make sure all BTC devs have EVERY FUCKING THING THEY NEED to keep on trucking That is all, numb nuts
@Michael Saylor screams out loud the #bitcoin way from any platform. The company hosts conference for businesses about leveraging btc tech. He is responsible for orange pilling thousands. He gives time and attention to content creators to multiply the signal. Well done Michael!
@Michael Saylor is a scammer, change my mind. #Peterisright MSTR is already down over $115 million on the #Bitcoin it just bought with borrowed money. I wonder why @saylor always borrows money to buy Bitcoin after a big move up. It looks like his true intention is to manipulate the Bitcoin price higher as he dumps his own $MSTR shares. image
