Most recently, just to be aware. I wonder how and when his greed will get him in trouble?
You should listen for yourself. They were talking past each other on "yield". To me it sounded like Saylor was saying people will still need loans and bitcoiners would lend their bitcoin provided the " bank" were reputable. Seems like a rational prediction. I don't agree with Saylor on many things but he's not dumb. He was not advocating for the current yeild nonsense.

Ah the cointard community poking each others' eyes out.
Exactly this. What I think is hanging people up is that Saylor repeatedly referred to "risk-free". In the context of the entire conversation, however, it's clear he was referring to the fiat system which he said wasn't going away in the next 10 years (this doesn't seem an unreasonable working assumption to me). What nobody bothers to mention is that Saylor also clearly acknowledged the counterparty risk inherent in lending Bitcoin for yield in Bitcoin terms; and this is correct. There is the obvious risk that the counterparty may not live up to the deal; but there's nothing about a fixed supply system that prevents a counterparty from returning more Bitcoin than what was borrowed (i.e. 'yield') any more than it prevents a renter from paying a landlord at the end of the month in Bitcoin the renter hasn't yet earned - which is a point Saylor tried to make; but by that time, Saif was a brick wall.
You can always create debt. That's all yield is. It's the rent on money loaned and you can definitely have it with a fixed supply. It just means that you'll get recked faster because you can't devalue your debt... Unless you're an ecash fool that wants to create mints. Then your back to the same shitcoin universe with mints creating more ecash than they hold in sats. Like a dog back to his vomit.
This is 100% real and I share it all the time Other questions include Where did Saylor get started (MIT & Air Force) Who funded Microstrategy to get started (DuPont) What product do they sell (I can’t figure it out) Why do they have offices all over the world (good question)
Copy paste: Incentive theory. People are only as good as their incentives. -He’s worth so much that his values are becoming skewed. A lot of what he says now is deliberately careful. For example He knows that referring to BTC as money puts him at risk from harsh govt regulations (think Tornado cash) so he goes out of his way to say btc is a commodity, not a currency. We all know btc is the most fungible commodity ever so… it’s definitely a currency. I love the guy since hes the one that orange pilled me in 2020 on lex but people need to be prepared for the day when he does something that lets us down.

Saylor is fucking smart. I don‘t understand why he says shit like „Bitcoin is stored energy“ but bitcoiners seem to like that crap 🤷‍♀️
As if #rich 🤑 #fiat wealth hasn’t corrupted humanity for years: Mr. Obvious 🤣 You want to make a list of all the people who have more resources too? Do it. Then check the value they give to #humanity image
I’ve said it before and will say it again: @Michael Saylor is a rocket 🚀 scientist 👨‍🔬 He’s well aware he owns a #monopoly It’s his to sell. This is how #fiat money worked. Why wouldn’t #btc be corrupted by #rich people who believe they are above others? #btc #nostr #2024 image

Dunno, in my fiat circles people honor skills and hard work. Only in cointard world it's all about quantity.

Cause he is pumping everyone's bags.
I always thought this guy was useless beside for meme inspiration. He is like the Musk for Bitcoin, everyone like them until we realize who they really are, then everyone hate them but unfortunatelly almost no one will really ignore them.
