Couldn't agree more. MicroStrategy is such a fascinating example, where they make a lot of money, and they could devote a portion of that money to serving / incubating / nurturing the broader ecosystem, instead of going through all these gymnastics to buy btc.

They've already got so much btc that they will be rich beyond imagining if things work out well. Seems so much more opportunity to use their unique position to invest in supporting the dirty work that always languishes -- supporting devs, helping w/ testing and documentation, developing and releasing tools into the community, etc. A million bucks spent doing that seems so much more valuable than buying another million bucks in btc, for a variety of reasons.
