I like mike saylor. I think he is a brilliant man. however his comments against self custody recently are absolutely outrageous almost to the point of owing this 'community' (I don't like that word) an apology. All he had to say was 'everyone will choose their own path' and that we owe the people who came before... so much for keeping this protocol running when noone cared about it. Now it's more mature people have options.

Now you have these almost... bot-like comments on reddit and also youtube about how great he is despite his recent comments.

What in the actual fuck?

And it's exactly what you posted. Meme after meme about price and 'number go up' and how 'they're in it for the money really' and the suckers going up. What in the actual fuck?

WHAT money. Dollars? I thought Bitcoiners were 'in it for the Bitcoin' and Bitcoin adoption as money. And if that's the case... then great you've bought Bitcoin you have 'the money' congratulations now go study Bitcoin and make it work for you.

It doesn't need to be all the one or the other obviously, it's a marketplace. But it makes real adoption of Bitcoin as money more painful and it tends to turn off regular people. Get rich quick off of Bitcoin is really nauseating... and if these people were so interested in Bitcoin's NgU WHERE WERE THEY 18 months ago when Bitcoin was less than half the price/half the exchange rate?

I don't want to believe that NgU is dangerous to the protocol, but it does give more ammo to the detractors and governments when they say all it is is a ponzi scheme, not a monetary protocol used in moving value through society.
