I have mixed feelings about Saylor. On the one hand, I acknowledge that he has done a lot for Bitcoin, but for the past few months I haven't been very fond of the path he's been proposing. This Lightning Network+ article provides a brief summary of what he's been up to. Share your thoughts on this with fellow stackers.

I am increasingly wary of Saylor, considering:
a) He has different incentives to the common pleb (such as the desires for ossification and compliance).
b) He carries a lot of influence with the Bitcoin community and larger players (such as Odell's recent allegations which, to my knowledge, Saylor has not refuted).
c) His speculative attack on fiat will continue to be incredibly effective, and MicroStrategy will continue to consolidate BTC. This in turn exaggerates points a) and b).
I think all the other stuff, such as the ID platform, is just noise. I am not worried about MicroStrategy's software capabilities... because let's face it, does anyone know what the fuck the company actually does?

I don't mind him, he has done alot of good advocating and while I think this new DID thing is silly, I think he will have to find out the hard way the same way ordinals bros and coloured coin bros, OMNI bros and counterparty bros had to learn
No one is too big for Bitcoin, If they try and fail, the market sees the lesson in real time. if they are, its time to pack it in, because this whole thing would be a larp

I bet that if/when Saylor runs for POTUS, he could win the election if his pitch was to make Bitcoin legal tender in the U.S.
