You have to chill dude, as bitcoin adoption grows there will be a lot of things you will not like, don't worry too much about bitcoin personalities, Saylor says what he has to say now, you think normies in the US would be cool with bitcoin if Saylor came on TV saying the USD will collapse and Bitcoin will replace it? He's not stupid, you can't even come with that talk to a friend to orange pill him otherwise he will just dismiss you as crazy. Baby steps, it's for saving only, number go up good, the other stuff will come later. As for Adam Back and others with price, don't take them too serious, they are having fun with the bull market, and price matters, no one wants to save in something that loses value. Many went through the whole bear market it's natural that people are now optimistic. As for ordinals don't worry they will fade out, but long term yes fees might be a problem and something should be done in the near future, but I don't think its possible to stop it know. As for sidechains and stuff they are tools, if it suits you good, otherwise don't use it, it does not interfere with bitcoin, I personally don't think it's a solution for scaling neither do I have any use for it. Same for drivechains. As for nostr, that doesn't even interferes with bitcoin, it integrates and brings many more to bitcoin, just chill, focus on what is important, bitcoin scaling solutions and code changes, everything else is noise, everyone has its own agenda, luckily mostly are still pro bitcoin because it's in everyone own interest, that is one of the major features, you don't need to listen or thrust anyone, ans everyone will act in a self interest for bitcoin to succeed.
I think if you have more than half a million followers, you have to be careful, because people will follow your advice even if it's not advice. If you say so specific stuff like "$15,7M 2027", people will take it literally, because, you know, he's almost sure Satoshi, so...
But yeah, he can have fun as much as he want. He's free to do it, and he's not responsible for other people's losses.

Yes I agree with that but people must take responsibility also by investing on the basis of a tweet, but it can still be good, hey I got into bitcoin thanks to Raoul Paul and PlanB S2F, imagine that, among a few other things, even if planB chart was wrong in future price prediction it allowed me to see the bitcoin chart since the beginning (zoom out) and gave me confidence to get into bitcoin and to fall into the rabbit hole. Many also buy at the top with FOMO and then get forged by the bear market. Greed is almost always the first motivation.
