Humble take.

Satoshi is a crony?

kinda

I expected shitcoins and regulatory moats

this is almost scarily well thought out and sensible

I think what was underestimated was the power of the constitution and the election process. Turns out checks and balances still work. That was a nice discovery.

I thought so too. I believe there is a dash of personal greed in everything they do.

You also may have underestimated the high agency of bitcoiners, without David Bailey’s efforts this wouldn’t have happened.

What about Dennis Porter efforts?

Lol

🤣

Or your models are flawed.

I don’t see it as a huge surprise seeing how they already had possession, but the cronies will always surprise.

Waiting to see where that first asset neutral “buy” comes from
