I too find it strange that people here are mischaracterizing what Saylor is saying and seem to prefer personal attacks rather than discussing the issues.

“Saylor hates devs!”

“Saylor is a spook!”

“You’re a Saylor shill!”

“Saylor wants to break bitcoin!”

🙄

It’s like I fell into bitcoin middle school. I’m hoping we can start thinking critically again.

I didn't realize this was directed at Saylor specifically. I recall him talking about Bitcoin development and I didn't think was position was unreasonable - I interpreted his position as one of advocating for a cautious approach to development.

THIS. The discussion must be about ideas, not people. Plus, it's very funny that now bitcoiners feel so annoyed because someone thinks about his own business and interests.

I would understand these attacks better if Saylor was trying to get some personal business advantage.

Based on my read of the situation, Saylor just doesn’t want devs to screw up the base protocol. ODELL implied that funding was offered but with “strings attached”.

That apparently was unacceptable to these folks on nostr so hence the personal attacks and chaos that polarized and set the community against each other.
