Yep Switching back to Amethyst today

This has always seemed obvious to me when hearing people argue for moving to lower tax geos from Western democracies - all well and good if you're compliant.

White Stripes are my favourite band, and some of his solo albums and Raconteurs were solid. But, like Neil Young (lol, we live in a simulation, radio started playing heart of gold as I typed this) and others in the music business they're gripped by left wing ideology. To be fair, JW was always been quite left wing (listen to Icky Thump) but now has solid TDS. Still like his music but he's not my source of political commentary 😅

Would love it if I could update Maple from @Zapstore 🙏

1. If they become forced sellers because they're not true hodlers but just grifters trying to get a management fee while the going is good. It's fiat behaviour that gets associated with Bitcoin. 2. All these companies are probably storing their Bitcoin with the same custodian, and they're all much more vulnerable to regulatory risk than an individual. This is added centralisation risk. You can't stop it, but these are fair criticisms. Danny wasn't pushing back on businesses using Bitcoin as a tool - i.e. better cash vehicle while they create value in their chosen markets. He was pushing back against companies doing this as their only activity. Saylor was being a dick - he's smart enought to know the nuanced difference.

Saylor seems to be intentionally missing your point Danny. He's saying, all else equal, it's better for a company to have vs. not have Bitcoin (fine, agreed). But your challenge was whether it makes sense that there are so many companies who's only business model is to buy bitcoin when people could just be acquiring actual Bitcoin themselves, and those companies can't get the same leverage/liquidity as MSTR. Totally fair question he could have just tried to answer since, if anything, it could be interpreted as a compliment to Strategy.

Wonder when @Saifedean Ammous publishes The Mackerel Standard

This is happening to me a lot these days with @OpenSecret's Maple AI. Using Mullvad.

This is the way
