I’m not saying we should vilify him, my point is, in think we will have better alternatives in the near future to avoid having to trust an entity with our BTC and the network (in a different level, like L2s) able to scale accordingly

Hal even referred to some bitcoin banks offering interest. 😅 I personally don’t want to give up custody of my sats in that way. I am currently ok using custodian for some smallish lightning payments such as zaps, but beyond that I custody everything else myself. I think everyone should learn how. And I think you’re right that those solutions will get better. But I also think some people are jumping to make Saylor a super villain but ignoring stuff like these statements made by Hal, who is otherwise revered.
I agree, I think what happens, is that it looks he’s changing his opinion now that he’s talking about MSTR being a bitcoin bank
