- Satoshi Nakamoto publishes the Bitcoin White Paper. Cypherpunks love it. Michael Saylor is not one of them. He says that Bitcoin’s days are numbered and that it’s a matter of time before Bitcoin suffers the same fate as online gambling.
- A few years later Mike changes his mind. Satoshi is a genius and Bitcoin is the best thing ever. Except it should not be used the way Satoshi intended. That would be paranoid crypto anarchy. Instead, Bitcoin should be more like a digital Manhattan and it can be custodied by #Coinbase.
- Mike’s company #MicroStrategy starts to buy Bitcoin like there is no tomorrow. Mike tells us that Bitcoin is the best, and that there is no second best.
- Mike delivers keynote speeches in every #Bitcoin conference and arranges great parties. If you have a Bitcoin podcast with over 500 subscribers, you are invited. He has a lot of fans in the Bitcoin circles.
- When cypherpunks ask Saylor fans, “how can you consider Mike a Bitcoiner when Mike does not want Bitcoin to be used as money?”, the fans feel uncomfortable. The parties are great and the interviews get a lot of views… They don’t want to make Mike angry. So, they just call Mike a different kind of Bitcoiner.
- Deep in their hearts they hope that Mike would say something positive about Bitcoin as money. But unfortunately for them, Mike does not give a fuck about them and their feelings. And instead of saying nice things about Bitcoin as money Saylor pivots to being a full-blown shitcoiner.
- Now the #Saylor fans are trying to find right moment to slay their hero. On one hand, staying in the Team Saylor is becoming a credibility issue. And, on the other hand, the interviews are still getting a lot of views and there are probably still some great parties to come. It. Is. So. Difficult.
