Leaving out?
Name another CEO running two Bitcoin companies at the scale of Strike and Twenty One who does live Q&As every Monday, open to anyone.
If your past experiences or views about the future don’t align with what we’re building, that’s fine, don’t use it.
We’ve been transparent and clear about how our products work and what the risks are. Always have been. I am the most active executive in this industry. The notion we are leaving things out is insane
😬 that icky feeling when two people you respect are saying unfriendly things to each other 😔
LOL, he's rich and powerful. I'm just some anonymous loser on the internet.
I think it's interesting that he jumped on responding to me. Very easy to accidentally create a PR issue that would cost him way more business than my anti Bitcoin loan stance ever could.
if you size me up as a rich and powerful guy you don’t know me or understand what i’m building.
i’m a bitcoiner that started a few businesses and am hopefully participating in making this whole sound money mission work.
i speak and stand for what im passionate and care deeply about. always have, always will
I don't know you and you don't know me.
i’m a bitcoiner that started a few businesses, so far all unsuccessful but I'll keep trying, and am hopefully participating in making this whole sound money mission work.

You will not be the first or last person to get upset because I spoke my mind with no punches pulled.
agree!
I like your energy. Maybe it's time to realise that the state licences company model is dead.
Build something outside the system that prevails its downfall.
To do that some wealthy entrepreneur has to have the balls and the opsec to pull it off without getting caught. Which is hard enough (still unclear what the story with Satoshi is). But the users also have to be on board for taking on some risk for using such a service, and there have to be enough of them to justify the entrepreneur taking on that initial huge risk without knowing ahead of time if it'll pay off.
Depending on my mood and state of mind, sometimes I look at that picture and am surprised I don't see it more often, other times it's no surprise that it doesn't emerge. The State intimidation machine is strong.
Either way - Bitcoin normalizing consensual exchange on a global free market is the best chance for chipping away at that control apparatus.
I'm a busy man who doesn't read and watch everything you put out. I only read your nostr posts about it.
I know we all want to do everything Bitcoin on Bitcoin with a bitcoin wrapper. The reality is most plebs could get similar rates with a full fiat loan and avoid putting their stack at risk.
I really only see bitcoin loans as being good for people retired on bitcoin and completely out of fiat savings or getting paid in bitcoin. The rest of us still working and getting paid in fiat should be trying to turn the scam back on the fiat system as much as we can. Money for nothing fiat loans with none of our hard earned assets at risk.
I'll also point out that I've never called for any cancelling of you or strike. Only shared my experience, strike denied me an account, and my opinion that most plebs should avoid bitcoin loan products no matter who is selling. You are free to sell sats and make loans same as I'm free to remind them there may be a better path for them to protect their hard earned wealth.
For those of us still earning in fiat watching our pay fail to keep up with inflation the number one directive is to protect our stack at all costs. It is our only hope. A margin call could destroy our financial future.
