Expert bias and appeal to authority. All normal.
Michael has brought many to bitcoin, is very smart, and who knows…..maybe he’s using this step to accumulate more.
The paths over the longer te...
Yes, he is very intelligent. No question about it.
I agree that Michael’s current path is incompatible with Bitcoin as freedom money. I also think that he is perfectly aware of it.
If we define being “in Bitcoin” the way Satoshi intended Bitcoin to be used and understood (“A purely peer-to-peer version of electronic cash would allow online payments to be sent directly from one party to another without going through a financial institution.”), I don’t know how many people Saylor has brought into Bitcoin.
He has brought many people into the “digital gold / digital Manhattan / digital credit” space, but instead of aligning himself with Satoshi’s vision, he has (at times) been pretty hostile towards the idea of peer-to-peer cash and self-custody.
Nobody knows what’s his agenda and what is going on in his head, but what I find very confusing is this:
Satoshi made it perfectly clear that Bitcoin is supposed to be peer-to-peer cash. And in some kind of sly roundabout way Saylor has managed to convince many “Bitcoiners” that Bitcoin is NOT peer-to-peer cash.
And now I am looking at Saylor like this:
