Do you believe his intentions are altruistic? Or sinister?
What's wild to me about Strike and nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd is that he's essentially doing what the Rothschilds did in Europe two centuries ago, but in reverse using Bitcoin.
What the Rothschilds did was set up banks in key cities in Europe that held gold. And by being partnered with each other, and fully trusted counterparties, they built a business that could "send" gold very conveniently via letter. Sending a hard asset with a soft one.
Strike, on the contrary, has set up shop in countries around the world to conveniently send paper via Bitcoin. Sending a soft asset with a hard one 🤯

I think he's part of a new aristocracy. The aristocracy's historical role was to generate and preserve value in society, and this is why they were destroyed. I think we're seeing this class be reborn among bitcoiners.
