Its dope that there's cryptographic proof of this take from over a year ago
Every just now acting like Saylor is running ops.

Ya proof nostr folks shunned him. The fact that one of the biggest living holders of bitcoin is not a primal legend - yet posts consistently on a centralized app is a problem.
Both sides are at fault. HODL culture is no better than tradefi.
He doesn't hold bitcoin. Some dude does at his broker.
Not true I just sent him a sat.
If you send to wallet of satoshi, the holder of the bitcoin is wallet of satoshi, not saylor
Self custody is a spectrum not absolute. That is my point.
1 sat on a primal wallet is bitcoin. 1 share of a Bitcoin ETF is not bitcoin. Then there is everything in between. That’s a feature not a bug of decentralization.
If you can use it as money it’s great. If you can control the keys - that is best. But hoarding bitcoin and accusing others of doing it wrong is hypocrisy while you spend fiat.
your point has many holes, but I'm too lazy to point them out. All I'm saying the sat you sent to saylor, did not go to saylors custody
self custody is not a spectrum
I don’t agree that self custody is a spectrum. Either you have the keys to unlock the Bitcoin on the blockchain or you don’t.
Who exactly is this “self” holding the keys?
'self' is absolute; not a spectrum.
'custody' is a spectrum - ranging from self custody to collaborative custody to full 3rd-party custody.
Then, there's the additional issue of what is being custodied: bitcoin or an IOU.
Personally, I think the full spectrum from self custody bitcoin to full 3rd-party custody of IOUs can have utility... it's just important to understand the trade-offs. If you can use it as money it's great. If you wanted to use it as money, but you were rebuffed for whatever reason by the 3rd-party you were relying on to honor an IOU, then that's the trade-off you chose to live with.
There is no self, so there cannot be an absolute self. It is a construct of the mind. The self is the ego.
An analogy for this is a mirage in a desert.
You see water shimmering ahead - it looks completely real, you feel thirsty for it, you’d fight to reach it. But when you get there… nothing. Just heat waves. The ego/self is like that mirage. It looks and feels super real (especially when you’re angry, afraid, proud, or craving), but there’s no solid, unchanging “you” hiding behind your thoughts, feelings, and body. It’s created by heat (conditioning, survival instincts, thoughts rubbing against each other).
