Harvard owns 0 BTC. Their IBIT exposure represents about 1% of their endowment. Nowhere near the largest holding.

My God is the one true God.
The rest are pretending.
My money is the one true money.
The rest are pretending.
There are sides.
You’ve chosen freedom without responsibility. I’ve chosen freedom through responsibility.
I can steel man your position: people are going to do harm either way. We cannot stop them outright. So we should employ a change that reduces the harm they cause by redirecting it away from the most valuable area of the network.
It’s a logically weak position, hence your attempt to straw man.
We call that a straw man. It typically comes from the side losing the debate.
Jack Mallers says Twenty One is more than a Bitcoin treasury company.
“We want to be the best way to participate in this #bitcoin phenomenon in the capital markets.”

The best way to participate in Bitcoin without actually participating in Bitcoin.
Giving spammers reign to freely spam is the ideological equivalent to providing AI child porn to child molesters.
You’re not reducing harm. You’re enabling disgusting behavior adjacent to a virtuous environment.
What happens when you place depravity next to virtue? Does the depravity become more virtuous or does the virtuous become more depraved? This is not difficult to understand.
I find this argument very simple: Core believes they must make changes to continue improving Bitcoin because complacency and stagnancy are the biggest threats to Bitcoin.
Those who oppose these changes fundamentally believe that too much tinkering with the protocol is the biggest threat to Bitcoin.
The case has been made that giving data embedders the option to utilize OP_RETURN results in harm reduction because they’re not stuffing witnesses. The analogy is like a local government providing drug addicts clean needles to use as a means of less harm done to the addict.
Anyone who has ever been to a major, liberal city knows that policies like this result in the degradation of a city. It fuels addiction, drug dealing and other crimes that come along with incentivizing people to do things that result in the decay of society. I don’t want OP_RETURN full of CSAM in the same way I don’t want both Starbucks bathrooms occupied by heroin addicts for hours at a time. As someone who understands addiction all too well, incentivizing drug use never results in less harm.
A few years ago, I was comfortable with calling myself a Libertarian. But it’s been issues like these that have made me aware that placing a moral standard that protects communities above the individual’s rights is the superior framework. I now find parts of the Libertarian frame weak and spineless. It will protect the rights of those with subversive agendas before it protects the rights of those willing to defend against the subversion.
We should not protect the right of foreigners to come into our country and burn our flag. We should not protect the right of drug addicts to more easily degrade our communities. And we should not protect the right of bad actors to use the greatest technological achievement in human history to post JPEGs of cats, CSAM or any other non-monetary data.
Unbearable. I do headphones or a bluetooth speaker. Exclusively.
I notice people forget that before Saylor repackaged his pitch to attract institutions, he went on a countless number of podcasts with a message aimed at helping individuals understand Bitcoin and money in general. I was still trading shitcoins in 2021 when something Saylor said led me towards BTC maximalism.
It’s a waste of your time to worry about who deserves more or less respect and why people feel the way they feel about anyone else.
Death to StableCon.
You know what you don’t see? Bitcoiners commenting on bcasher’s youtube videos about how Bitcoin is “the real Bitcoin.”
Satoshi is dead.
Watching the Trump boys speak at conferences is a lot like listening to someone give a book report on a book they never read.
Yeah I don’t fuck around 😎
Keep a copy of The Big Print in my gym bag in case I overhear anyone mention how expensive whey protein is getting.

NYC has a history of rising and falling. It will flourish again.
That’s a false equivalency. The jobs will exist, just as horses do. They’ll just be less a part of human life, just as horses are.
Bitcoin ownership will reveal to you how much responsibility you’re truly willing to take. We all must face ourselves in this regard.
The best is dependent on the individual circumstances of that wallet. There are no solutions, only tradeoffs.
That said, that setup is likely to work well for many.
