50 sats \ 4 replies \ @k00b 10 Dec \ parent \ on: The Fallacy of Store of Value vs. Medium of Exchange bitcoin
Oh, I didn't mean all bitcoin companies are betting on bitcoin failing as a non-custodial MoE - just some. I also don't mean it's wrong to place such bets. It just plays a role in our narratives and most of us don't realize it.

Yes, this is a good point. I think Saylor often says things in different ways to different audiences. I'm not defending him, just an observation. He's a prime example of the effect of incentives on how companies talk about bitcoin.

If M Saylor came out on CNBC... and started talking openly and directly about Bitcoin 'replacing the dollar' or 'competing directly with the dollar as a global safe haven'...
Right or wrong, good bad or indifferent he would get phone calls. Probably from a lot of people.
Even if he believes those things (and maybe he does maybe he doesn't) he absolutely cannot say them in public.

He sounds like a statist. He says things I disagree with... but he's MUCH closer to my views than the CEO or face of any public company I'm aware of. I'm not aware of a more based dude in that role.

Exactly. I don't care what he really believes. He does have influence but I'm not worried about it. What can I do after all. Just be the positive influence in my circles.
