The only thing in your control is your own perspective. Being angry at the world won't change it.
Some people will have bad takes, some people will tell flat out lies. Some people will get a few things right. Just sit back and listen to everyone without judgement. You will find truth somewhere in the middle.
I don't think the truth should be in the middle. Sometimes the truth is at one of the extremes. The truth is the truth, not something that we choose to not be called extremist...
But I agree with your first sentence.

You're right. Some people do tell the truth as they know it. My point is that if you listen to enough people on the same topic there'll always be different opinions, sometimes contradictory. You need to decide for yourself which version is truth.
I've listened to a lot of Saylor interviews and one thing I've noticed is that he talks differently when he's being interviewed by mainstream media compared to a podcast.
I'm not saying he's lying but I do think timeframes and context matters. Sometimes he's talking about what he expects to happen from observations he's made. Sometimes he's talking about the short term outcomes and other times he's talking about long term outcomes. These are all very different.
For example, I would agree right now Bitcoin doesn't really compete with the dollar. Not to any substantial degree. This is an observation about the present. It doesn't mean it won't change in the future.
Secondly, he may not have shown his Bitcoin address but he has declared in public filings all the Bitcoin he's purchased. Could he be lying about this, sure, but if he gets caught he'll go to prison. I can't see any benefit for him to lie about this, especially since he spends so much of his time talking about Bitcoin.
