too bad though, would have been an interesting discussion not for a lot of interrupting and straw manning from Saylor. I think nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgzr08nkh7nk4q9cmw02wkfprkgtk0n8kgszlzyqe384ll3qv5rp453f6g5h is correct here. On a hard money standard, 1. A 22 year old can save up money to start a company much easier, and 2. Lenders will need to beat deflation instead of inflation, meaning they'll want to lend less, and at higher rates.

Saylor is very smart but has a lot of blind spots, or at least pretends to. He is the exec chairman of a large, publicly traded company, so he has to be very careful in what he says, so he might just be faking it. This is why he says that Bitcoin should mostly/only be used as a store of value and the dollar should be used as a medium of exchange - he likely doesn't believe it but has to say it.

yeah i wonder how much is being careful with what he says and how much he just actually hasn't thought through how things change once a high enough percent of people hold bitcoin.

My guess is that he knows, but can't say. Larry Lepard once said that Saylor told him to stop talking about the dollar failing and hyperinflation so openly. If you listen to enough Saylor interviews, he seems to be very much like a politician on certain touchy subjects.
