He’s not stupid. He’s latching onto the investment asset narrative of bitcoin as a trojan horse. No government would approve of giving up the monopoly of money.

Agree with this take, far from cope. If his proposal is accepted, the only thing that needs to change in the future for btc to be used as currency is a tax policy change. It’s easy to imagine this in 20-30 years. But you go in demanding it be a currency now, all of a sudden it’s a competitor to the $ and guns come out like we are Iraq trying to sell oil in Euros. It’s the smart play even if it seems like a sell out short term.
“bitcoin is trustless/permissionless and freedom money, but i get bent out of shape is someone does something with their bitcoin i don’t like, agree with, or understand.” unfortunate state of many bitcoin doesn’t need saylor or his detractors.
