If

@saylor

cares about the future of bitcoin, quit sending tweets about price action. We get it, NGU is, in his opinion, inevitable.

What we need to see is the following:

1) MSTR has dedicated a team of two researchers to constantly review bitcoin core and bitcoin knots code and make updates as necessary. Pull requests as necessary.

2) MSTR is working on improving technology to ensure self custody

3) MSTR is creating new software to make running an at home node easier.

4) MSTR will begin researching 2nd layer payment technologies.

5) MSTR is going to begin funding research to improve main chain privacy.

IF WE DO NOT PROTECT BITCOIN, WE FAIL!

I am so sick of hearing about stupid MACRO and BS. STFU and protect bitcoin.

4 is a pipe dream. Saylor has openly and repeatedly opposed the idea of Bitcoin as a MoE, currency, etc. Unless he’s lying on purpose, but we have to take him at face value.

NGU is “all” that matters because it represents the economic incentive to use Bitcoin. Bitcoin is magical because it aligns economic incentives for all voluntary participants. If you remove the incentive then it is a major blow to the legitimacy of Bitcoin over the short to medium term.

If we fail to protect bitcoin, I promise you, the number will quit going up.

NGU may be important, but it is NOT inevitable. Many of the developers working on bitcoin consider the long term probability of success < 50%

Run a bitcoin node, self custody, validate your transactions (hx)

Fail to protect bitcoin, we end up with NGD tech.

I disagree with this take. But c’est la vie … I’m hoping bitcoin rips soon and brings the class of 2025 maxis along with it.

Bitcoin is not inevitable. NGU is a function of the underlying decentralized, open source technology. If the tech fails, we lose.

Saylor doesn’t care about Bitcoin.

He’s a fiat maxi, Bitcoin just happens to be his chosen vehicle for fiat wealth appreciation.

If he wants to use bitcoin for fiat wealth appreciation, he needs to protect the network. Or he will lose all of his fiat.

True, just pointing out he won’t do any of the things you mentioned unless he perceives it as self-interest.
