Replying to Avatar Dr. Fernando Morales

I believe in the narrative that bitcoin doesn't care what we do. If Saylor is actively threatening companies and individuals, then that's clearly a violation of the non aggression principal and he should be shamed/punished for that. However, I think it's best to wait for proof before condemning him to hell haha.

On a side note, I honestly don't see how all this peer pressure is going to help bitcoin at all. Looks like a bunch of socialists telling the rich how to best spend money, simply because it's the "right" thing to do. Again, bitcoin doesn't care if Saylor puts in a billion into FOSS or not.

I don't care what HE spends money on. I care that he is influencing others on how they spend money.

If by influencing you mean using violence or the threat of it, then yeah, totally agree and he should face the consequences. As far as I know, it hasn't been proven yet that he's done what he's being accused of. But In the grand scheme of things, I don't see the "influence" of particular individuals or companies being of much importance to bitcoin in the long run, just look at the block size wars.

My response was also mainly directed at those who have been beating the socialist drums of Saylor having to donate to bitcoin open source projects because of reasons and "it good", this was happening well before this current rumor/event. To them I'd say mind your own business.
