Can’t “get him out” as bitcoin is for enemies but we can stop listening to him. And accepting him as the megaphone of our messaging. And attending his talks at conferences.

Of course, Pomp still has an audience and the world acts as if he is one of the best messengers of bitcoin so don’t get your hopes up.

I do think we - as bitcoiners - should push for proof of reserves for MicroStrategy holdings. Disclose the addresses in MSTR’s quarterly disclosures. At least eliminate the chance that he doesn’t have all the coins he claims to have.

If Saylor gets wiped out, MSTRs holdings will likely get more centralised under a new owner. Pomp doesn't have the influence or firepower to get people to adopt his vision, whatever that may be. Saylor has been shifting the narrative slowly over the years, and I think he is looking at it through a fiat lense rather than as a true bitcoin standard.

Ultimately it doesn't matter much, but I think it delays the possibility of greater self-custodied adoption as people bicker over SoV and MoE.
