I understand where Lyn is coming from nonetheless. The fact that people don't understand Bitcoin is the reason they are able to be scammed by shitcoins.
Every so called crypto is a set of rules and buying a so called crypto is a buy in to those set of rules. Buying into a set of rules you don't understand or put another way having your money at the whims of rules you don't know, is and should be a scary thought.
People need to understand that every "coin" is a completely different set of rules and does not work like Bitcoin. They need to understand that when we say something is a shitcoin, we mean that the rules of that so called coin, suck.
Right now they must think we're saying it to pump our bags. Especially since that's exactly what newbies are doing and exactly what every shitcoin scammer is doing.
On Michael Saylor:
In my opinion, he understands Bitcoin and what it ultimately means. I think he is extremely intellectual, and has as good of understanding as anyone, of what the future may hold in the Bitcoin era.
I do not think he actually believes all the statist bullshit about regulation being good, taxation, and the US dollar continuing to exist. It’s too bad he doesn’t speak freely about it, but the position he is in prohibits him from being truthful about this. Him telling people that Bitcoin will destroy the state is not necessary or helpful when explaining Bitcoin to people who haven’t seen the rabbit hole yet-it will only turn off their brains. I’m not sure if he could be voted off the board, but nothing good would happen if he is 100% honest on this point. In the end, none of this has anything to do with the value proposition of Bitcoin.
You don’t yell a war cry as you jump out of the Trojan Horse. You sneak out at night and slit the throats of your enemies while they sleep.
Saylor is just a man, who has an engineer mind and an excellent way of distilling what Bitcoin is. Study his ideas and metaphors, and as always, DYOR.
