I watched M. Saylor presentation at Bitcoin Atlantis. Just to see what he's saying. IS PURE GARBAGE GOVERNMENT AND REGULATION PROPAGANDA!
Don't believe me? Here are some screenshots from audience... people realized that they paid to see Saylor doing government propaganda! And people still applaud him and kiss his fiat-maxi ass.
THIS IS DARTHCOIN WARNING: you will remember my words
Saylor only wants YOUR bitcoin and give you back an fucking IOU. He do not want to destroy the fiat system, but using the Bitcoin to perpetuate the fiat existence. The story is repeating over and over, like banskters did with gold.
Michael Saylor say it very clearly in this interview, few years ago: he will buy all bitcoins available, will HODL them and later will lend them as collateral to all poor guys that today do not want Bitcoin. In plain sight you have the banksters and billionaires plan: to enslave you again in debt. If you still do not understand that, means that humanity deserve to be forever enslaved by few…
Is well known that BlackRock (Larry Fink) is funding M. Saylor... THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER. And is not in your interest or Bitcoin interest... but perpetuating the fiat existence.
Exhibit A: HE WANTS COMPLIANCE... Compliance is what will kill Bitcoin!
Exhibit B: HE WANTS REGULATION Regulation is how will put miners and node operators under gov control
Exhibit C: PEOPLE IN AUDIENCE, THEIR FACES SHOW THAT WHAT HE SAYS IS PURE GARBAGE PROPAGANDA
In the end, I had to intervene and kick Saylor out from the stage...
An @DarthCoin warning is worth heeding. Saylor makes a lot of really interesting points and commentaries with regard to economics, monetary technologies of the past etc. But I have never stopped to ask why and assumed it was altruistic. It doesn’t appear that he is a fiat maxi playing the bitcoin game (and early to the party) rather than a bitcoin-maxi out to change the fiat game. I shan’t make that mistake again.

I have to apologize to @kr and other stackers, that my intention with this post wasn't about the MSM SN experiment or ranking or something like that.
I was just pissed off when I saw what crazy things Saylor says and support. I tried not to post more on SN exactly to let others to show their PoW, but I cannot stand put against such bullshit against Bitcoin. I must defend Bitcoin by all means.
I had to warn others. If I would be there at the conference I will stand up and call out Saylor, in front of all audience...

I instantly think of that scene in the Big Short where Mark Baum (Steve Carell) interjects during the Vegas conference when he said he wouldn't.

I don’t think you have to apologise. Most of us are interested in your opinion and if you feel strongly it’s right to share regardless of what else is going on. We can always downzap!
reply
Did you watch his talk, though?
Don't trust, verify.
Darth has his own strong bias (akin to anarchism) which I'm not saying I disagree with. But are we really throwing Saylor under the bus because he explains the compliance needs of large institutional investors? Bitcoin will scale, in part, to these fiat monoliths - that's the truth of the world. We can't flip the switch on society and go full bitcoin. This is a decades-long transition where the normies are going to depend on highly-regulated institutions to safeguard their bitcoin. Of course, the rest of us know better..
Saylor has done some of the best work to change minds towards bitcoin. He does not have the same message as Darth (which I take to be very valuable, Darth, don't get me wrong.) But not everyone should self custody, or will self custody. Some are close to retirement, all their fiat is already invested and they will now depend on these large institutions to re-allocate.. hopefully out of gold, et al. and into bitcoin.
But, ask me again in 50 years. I think come 50 years from now if you're not fully self custodial you are either (1) too lazy to learn or (2) we have all failed to make bitcoin scale well enough to allow that.

Let's not demonize everyone who gives a talk about bitcoin that doesn't fully align with our own perspectives. Especially as we go into the next cycle.. we're going to hear a BUNCH of people talking about bitcoin. A lot of it will be boring, recycled and unimaginative.
Yes, bitcoin is for the self-sovereign. Bitcoin is also for the cucked. If we can remove fiat and replace with bitcoin, the cucks will still live among us. 🤣

And I wasn't expecting that from bitcoiners
What were you expecting after latest accomplishments? Shilling custodial solutions (eCash, Fedi), custodial "Federations" (Liquid)... Half of bitcoin influencers and podcasters selling their MSTR stocks that they bought meanwhile they were telling you "100% in Bitcoin and I'm never selling", and the other half buying BTC ETFs because "it's almost imposible that BlackRock falls, it's too big".
What a shit-show...

Saylor scares me too, but not as much as Larry Fink. I'm happy that at some point they may be facing off against each other-the old saying "bitcoin is for enemies". When Saylor first came on the scene I watched a podcast where he was doing his whole finance, regulation, working with the government, taking fiat loans against your bitcoin thing, when he got a little pushback about cozying up to governments. He smirked and said, "well, if governments get carried away, I still have my keys. I can have a boating accident". I was happy to hear that, but I'm not even sure he has his keys anymore.
reply
Jury is still out for his personal amounts.
reply
I don't care how much Saylor is buying. Is not my damn business and I cannot stop him doing that.
I am worried about what is his AGENDA behind all that accumulation and WHO is funding it (Blackrock). This is the elephant in the room that many bitcoiners refuse to see it.
reply
Let them feed the lion, one day the lion will grow and make their dream come true #Bitcoin
reply
There's always a bigger agenda and you're right to be worried. They are the devil and they can never be trusted
reply
Saylor's quarterly reports make it crystal clear who is funding his bitcoin purchases... He is, by both leveraging his existing coins & by reinvesting the profits from his software company. I doubt he uses blackrock at all.

Lurking on SN today, I've appreciated @DarthCoin's activity on both this post, as well as another post about war and defending one's homeland with violence. I decided to watch Saylor's presentation for myself, and while I indeed find the the first half so far a little cringe, I was struck with the following quote at around 25:00:
If we want to eliminate war and conflict and violence, we really want all our enemies to settle their differences in a fair, equitable fashion. And the fair, equitable, peaceful way to settle your differences is Bitcoin. So, you shouldn't fear those who don't understand, who are your enemy that join Bitcoin, you should fear those who are your enemies that don't join Bitcoin. The're the ones that will use bullets to solve the problem.
No disagreement with your warnings from me, but I thought this quote was an interesting nexus on the various topics today. Any further thoughts?
reply
Yes the quote is very good. What he's trying to say here is this:
  • there are many "sides" of tyranny, the "good" ones and the bad" ones.
  • we (the suits) "are the "good" ones, but we still want to fuck you.
NEVER LET THE GUARD DOWN. As I said many times, I SURVIVED 20 years of communist propaganda. I know how nice words sound in the ears of those that let down the guard. I learned my lesson from communism: TRUST NO ONE, especially those that work with the gov but they pretend to be your friend.
I lived treason in my own family, I know how deceitful could be. I just wanted to warn other people to not let the guard down. That's all. I am not here to decide for each of you or to became your "celebrity". I do not want that.
reply

This is something to really highlight, IMO, as someone from a country (El Sal) that has its own history with this. A lot of Bitcoiners are Americans/Euros who can't fathom how propagandists will just outright lie and frame things the way you want to hear them.

reply
I think the issue here is you are highlighting that they are bitcoiners. This exposes random audience members to being subject threats of kidnap and extortion....why do that?
reply
To be honest, they've gone to a Bitcoin conference and so have outed themselves already. But the bigger problem for me here would be with the organisers filming them and putting it on Youtube. Did they agree to that when they bought the ticket? It's on YT forever. With the advances in facial rec software it won't belong before we'll be able to run the vid through the software and have a name.

If any of you decide to attend these bitcoin conferences, just know that your real identity will be 100% linked to bitcoin, indicating your strong interest and likely ownership of a significant amount of btc, making YOU (and your family) a potential target in the future.

I like and I agree with a lot of things Saylor said but I can see why he said what he said based on his fiat incentives.
Saylor is trying to play it safe with fiat because he still has a big stake in the fiat system. The guy get to print money to buy #bitcoins at 0%interest, not even nation states are doing that yet. But I don't care, if Saylor wants to play with fiat and let himself be eating that's his choice, and he will probably lose all of the MSTR coins at a 6202. Bitcoin will keep tick tocking it does need some of us but it doesn't need neither of us to survive.

I don't know how this is related but, yeah the first one is true at some extent, but the second is questionable. I agree there is a lot to do in self-custody side of things to lower prices for smaller holders, but a lot of guys of "I am here to fix Bitcoin" want to do more damage than fixing anything. My rule of thumb is build it if it's extremly needed, time tested and 100% secured. Plus LN and other layers should be where the focus is not on the base layer.

Perfectly perfect! In my heart, I believed that Saylor or any other corporate kinship with Bitcoin is highly doubtful. I didn't say it publicly before but Saylor alongwith all other money minded fellas are a rare breed of hypocrites. It's true that Saylor knows the worth of Bitcoin and he is hoarding it just to sell back an IPO. Like @DarthCoin mentioned, I also urge everyone not to be trapped into the propoganda demonstrated by such flawed people like Saylor. Believe in one notion; viz. HODL Bitcoin close to your chest.

reply
This is correct analysis, but that's why we stack and hodl. In that sense any individual or entity who holds their owns keys is well ahead. Microstrategy does not hold their own keys, they rely on two custodians so it will be another clown show sometime in the future.
What is good in all this is that Microstrategy pushes corporate adoption. With the downside of not talking about self-custody.
Bitcoin adoption is all about education of the basics, and in this maturity I think almost everyone is still learning at least some parts of it.

Perfect is the enemy of the good. To an anarcho capitalist, it's easy to see Saylor is a statist. He believes many state related things are necessary. As troubling as that is to an antistatist, we are many generations away from the end of statism. You can put that aside and accept what he's saying as a description of how the world works in this statist world we are in, and will be in for a long time yet. Rejection anyone who doesn't have a pure anarchocapitalist perspective is a fools game and will be at most futile, and, at worst, detrimental to progress.
