0 sats \ 0 replies \ @byzantine 4 Jul \ on: Is MicroStrategy the bitcoin bank Hal Finney dreamed of? bitcoin
i think the answer is yes if hal envisioned fiat banks continuing to exist. mstr is a bitcoin backed fiat withdrawal bank. Deposit/sell mstr your bitcoin and you get access to dollars.
if hal envisioned full reserve bank custody where a bank holds your keys (and gives you credit) and you can withdrawal funds and repay debt with your deposited bitcoin then clearly mstr is not a bank.
