Since his remarks passed me by at the time, and I firmly stand in support of the efforts the vaccines represent, I tried finding some sources on them today. I found the following Newsweek article pretty credible and insightful, and while I still disagree with how he seemed to want to stir an overall counterproductive sentiment, I found his actual comments unexpectedly restrained, or at least somewhat intelligently, and credibly made. Unlike any other public figure I heard speak decidedly critically on the topic, especially the aggressively mindless podcast tourists.

The article has ample annotations after each segment, I suggest reading it if you find the topic worth your time.

"You can't serve as global money for the world unless you are a commodity."  -Michael Saylor

It is so crucial to understand the difference between securities and commodities to protect your reputation and avoid endorsing unregistered securities that are often disguised as "decentralized," "blockchain," or "web3." Corporations and businesses now have a remarkable opportunity to embrace the world's most ethically sound digital commodity. By doing so, they can reap immense benefits from the incredible digital public infrastructure that is currently being constructed right before our eyes.

"Nostr generated incredible excitement because they allowed people to post things on Nostr and instead of hitting and getting paid nothing, you hit and you get paid something..." -Michael Saylor

Nostr also offers more than just value4value through Zaps. Users have the ability to add comments to Zaps and can decide whether to make their Zap comments public, private, or anonymous. Consider this: would you overlook a message that contains hard money? This is how we effectively separate noise from signal and liberate ourselves from spam and bots.
