In his efforts to bring capital into bitcoin, and maximize his return, Saylor also has a stated willingness to lend to "too big to bail banks," and dump this credit risk on the backs of innocent taxpayers if/when the trade fails.

It is what it is; but, calling a spade a spade it is not consistent with the reason bitcoin exists.

Exactly. Well played. And the best part...Saylor wants taxpayers to bail him out when it all goes wrong. Like, who wouldn't. Right?

It's been 24 years now, and I've heard a lot of rock songs and watched their videos, but I'm not sure that any of them hit me harder than Kryptonite by 3 Doors Down in 2000 when I was 12 years old.

It doesn't even touch most of my favorite sub-tropes, but it touches on the broadest tropes of heroism and valor, and very well done.

I was reminded of it due to coming across a cover from several years ago:

If I have to pick an all-time favorite band, I'd say Linkin Park.

If I have to pick an all-time favorite song and video, back when music videos were more of a thing, I might have to say Kryptonite. Something about it hits really deep. It's about like, undesired heroism. The most raw form of heroism. It's probably the key song that got me into rock when I was 12 and it's still great.

Love Three Doors Down and Linkin Park.

Lately been vibing to Away From The Sun. If you think of the sun as truth/bitcoin, you can feel the regret of addiction to fiat.

#bitcoin is life in the digital realm. Here's why....

Time is infinite. Life, however, is defined by scarcity of time. Life, therefore, brings value to time.

Digitization is an infinite representation of the physical world. Bitcoin, however, is digital scarcity. Bitcoin, therefore, brings value to the digital universe.

Saylor is put up on a pedestal, and portrayed as a maxi totally committed to the ethos of bitcoin. His strategy, however, to loan bitcoin to "too big to fail" banks, dumping his tail risk on innocent taxpayers payers, to earn interest, encourages risky banking behavior bitcoin was invented to counter. No judgements if he chooses to loan his corn. But he isn't the maxi / HODL'r he claims.

Of course, the "influencers" who preach the benefits of freedom and decentralization -- yet embrace and support X all day long -- are also hypocrites.
