That's not what I'm getting at. While being confident in the viewpoint is necessary I'd much rather be confident on a well thought out, and true position. Just being confident in "HFSP DYOR NGU" isn't the look.

Natural systems don't need government programs to stay in tact. Wildlife and nature need humans to get with the program and tie money back to physics.

Bitcoin is not guaranteed to go up in value over time, especially at maturation.
It's floating value replaces the money printer and centralized elasticity of the money. This is key, and should be talked about more.

Thought I had relating to Mises regression theorem and United States as a consumer economy. I believe in the theory Mises states that consumables have a big role to play in a money monetizing. So it would stand to reason that the United States being a consumer-based economy would be the likely place for Bitcoin to monetize the most effectively transitioning from a store of value to a medium exchange.
Kick-started by small businesses carving out niches and attacking the margins of the big centralized monopolies. Delivering goods and services that are higher quality for lower prices.

Michael Saylor is wrong. His strategy of accumulating Bitcoin is directionally correct, but the strategy of leverage use isn't.
The businesses that are truly innovative are accumulating Bitcoin, pushing for it's use as medium of exchange, and driving prices lower for their customers.
MSTR is this grand rent seeking operation. It delivers value to all those exposed to its actions, but provides little in the way of real value for marketable goods and services.
Build the first free market not by rent seeking on Bitcoins store of value, but by providing value driving prices lower and competing with real goods and services.
