Over time, I’ve become more sympathetic to perspectives like this. I used to really admire Saylor — I still appreciate how much I learned from him about free markets and capitalism. But it’s become clear that he doesn’t truly grasp what Bitcoin is at its core. Statements like “don’t donate to Bitcoin devs” or dismissing those who avoid exchanges as merely “paranoid crypto anarchists” have made me question not just his understanding, but also his intentions.
