Odd. Bitwise and Vaneck already donate to Devs. Hard to imagine Saylor could crush Blackrock or Fidelity. Big fan of Odell but would like more info on this because it doesn't make sense.

What does "crush" even mean in this context?

I am guessing talk badly about them publicly. I don't know what other effect he could have.

That's kind of what I assumed, too, but the choice of words seems too dramatic for that.

I know what people mean when they say bitcoin doesn't have heroes but if they mean the community that's nonsense. The bitcoin community has many heroes and hero worshipers. People that are just followers. That's just human nature.

I do think Saylor could sway many people who call themselves bitcoiners in different directions.

I thought he was joking tbh.

Oh a new contender. That would make our speculation game a lot less fun though.

I did as well. Actually I was wondering if he lost control of his private key...

He seems to be doubling down though.

Odell is light on details. I'm intrigued.

Unless the implication is that it was Bitwise or Vaneck and they went ahead anyways because Saylor was acting as an agent for Fidelity and Blackrock who are his largest shareholders as Darth points out.

That's a possibility. Blackrock and Fidelity don't want to donate to devs and know that funds that do will get some of the AUM that would have went to them. That seems feasible to me.

Yeah, that sounds plausible.

its true, have heard same rumors in the background

I could see Saylor being pro-ossification.

106 sats \ 1 reply \ @benthecarman 9 Apr

yes that's what i hear, but you can still fund open source devs while being pro ossification

He has to know that. Maybe he's afraid of Bitcoin becoming more private or something.

Was thinking the same thing. There could be ideological reasons. Ones I would probably disagree with.

53 sats \ 0 replies \ @k00b 9 Apr

I'd guess he's just too exposed and risk averse.

Its become very clear that many bitcoiners have heroes and don't like it when people say negative things about them. Bitcoin is a teacher. If we fail to learn a lesson we are cursed to repeat it.

Saylor is their puppet... is the "frontman" https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/MSTR/holders?fr=yhssrp_catchall

Big fan of Odell but would like more info on this because it doesn't make sense.

Glad to see a lot of people on nostr asking for more info too.

Maybe @ODELL is just trolling twitter now, lol. Seems to be an explanation more reasonable than the accusation itself:

A lot of the influencers on twitter are using this post. But also, a lot of ppl are asking where you got this info??

When you troll the twitters from afar this is what happens. lol

I am requesting a response please
