and i would argue that if you can't save it, it's not a money because without that resilience when all the things break at once nobody has got any way to stop it degenerating into lawlessness with starving borderline personalities
Discussion
I think Saylor is taking a page from Satoshi, who mined 1 million Bitcoin then just let it sit there in plain sight, contributing to the scarcity and, therefore, value for everyone.
i think that it's not really money if you can't store it, that's the feature of durability
Oh goodness, don't compare Saylor to a man who never personally profited from his sats.
Saylor is leveraging his Bitcoin to live like God in France.
he is, and i am also using bitcoin i'm not spending to live better than i would otherwise be in this current up-trending market, it has already enabled me to effectively discount a lot of my expenses and actually save
The comparison only counts if Saylor actually follows through and dies with his Bitcoin.
That is irrelevant, as he uses it as a reserve asset to get cheap credit and then lives on that.
Exactly.
saylor's whole gimmick orbits around his finally grasping the importance of a money with strict supply control
and like you say, he just then abuses that as collateral instead of actually doing anything substantial towards ending the use of wibbly wobbly currencies and the keynesian economic bullcrap he claims to oppose
i hate saylor for running a software company that doesn't actually write any important software
He sells the software to the government and big corporations. One hand washes the other.
yeah, i don't like him... i like his no second best line but that's it
my main first impression of him had to do with those strange marks on his face... seems like it's probably related to drug intake, but i'm not familiar with it... either that or it's a genetic disorder but you'd think that with such an obvious deformity if he wasn't a narcissist he'd be open about it
odd, I'll have to check out his face... I only understood Bitcoin after all of his metaphors. I I figured that his sharing his understanding on podcasts was volunteering his time and energy, and that was a gift.
well, i pretty much agree with him on most points... i think it's great that not only is the record impervious to cheap manipulations, the protocol itself is also impervious to cheap manipulations
these are obvious good properties of bitcoin, and how it serves to be a common that eliminates the tragedy part
Good grief. This thread has spun into lala land. We’re critiquing his face now? 🤡
His point about the software is that change = new risks so let’s just be very careful if we want it to last 1,000 years. Otherwise, we end up with a vulnerable pile of spaghetti code, like Ethereum. I agree with him.
Listening to him orange pilled me, like thousands of others and I’m richer in every sense of the word because of it. So is everyone on the network, even the Saylor haters. Listen to the Saylor Series on Breedlove’s “What is Money” pod, then see what you think. Or don’t, idc 😆.
lol, uh, the marks are weird, i'm not saying anything anyone hasn't thought
it wasn't what made me say anything about him in the first place, and tbh i just think that he is a little disingenuous, that's about it
but everyone notices the odd marks on his face
didn't stop me liking Seal, but what does bother me is people not saying "yeah, i got this thing, birthmark, disease, whatever" that bothers me
if it's right in my face and everyone acts like it's not there, that's a red flag
Uh, or maybe it’s from spending lots of time in the sun on his yachts and he doesn’t give a shit what others think.
ok, so why does that get you so riled up tho?
i get mad every time i look at my now sagging chin because i'm old, i don't think i'm weird like this
it makes me uncomfortable to watch people with oddities when they don't make light about it and everyone is like that
everyone
i can't be the first to notice
and i've been around a lot of people with all kinds of diseases, disorders, drug problems, and psychoses
it's just dishonest to not deflate any innate anxieties such things cause once in a while
seriously, there's unusual, and then there is "ok what's wrong with this guy?"
oh yeah, let's raise the topic of the wealth as well then? but not ok to ask "what is the deal with your face?"
I’ve been consistent on my view in this. All that money but can’t get good skincare.
I’d happily drop a few sats getting some treatment.
Maybe he had really bad achne as a kid? Maybe he made a pact with the devil, all the money for bad skin.
see? people notice these things, and not stepping down from your elite throne and acknowledging it is just making it more obvious vanity
also, just to be clear, odell is very humble... lyn is very humble, she even regaled us with her trailer trash childhood and MMA war stories, jack is humble, he also sorely regrets not realising how they had coopted his project so hard
saylor, where is his downfall exactly? not conceded, no humility, it's all pride pride pride
at best saylor is like "i was wrong about bitcoin" yeah, you and everyone else.
Also, I truly do not understand Bitcoiners who complain about “the rich”, because let’s be honest about why we’re all staking.
Rich and secure are very different things.
Saving small amounts from a modest income into a system highly likely to outpace inflation isn’t a plan for riches.
It can make a huge difference when faced with unforeseen life events etc.
If riches were my motivation, I would be doing something entirely different in life.
