ONE OF THE BIG ETFS WAS GOING TO DONATE TO OPEN SOURCE DEVS.
SAYLOR TOLD THEM IF THEY DID IT HE WOULD CRUSH THEM SO THEY PULLED OUT OF THE COMMITMENT.
Odd. Bitwise and Vaneck already donate to Devs. Hard to imagine Saylor could crush Blackrock or Fidelity. Big fan of Odell but would like more info on this because it doesn't make sense.
its true, have heard same rumors in the background
I could see Saylor being pro-ossification.
yes that's what i hear, but you can still fund open source devs while being pro ossification
He has to know that. Maybe he's afraid of Bitcoin becoming more private or something.
Was thinking the same thing. There could be ideological reasons. Ones I would probably disagree with.
I'd guess he's just too exposed and risk averse.
Its become very clear that many bitcoiners have heroes and don't like it when people say negative things about them. Bitcoin is a teacher. If we fail to learn a lesson we are cursed to repeat it.
What does "crush" even mean in this context?
I am guessing talk badly about them publicly. I don't know what other effect he could have.
That's kind of what I assumed, too, but the choice of words seems too dramatic for that.
I know what people mean when they say bitcoin doesn't have heroes but if they mean the community that's nonsense. The bitcoin community has many heroes and hero worshipers. People that are just followers. That's just human nature.
I do think Saylor could sway many people who call themselves bitcoiners in different directions.
Who knows.
I thought he was joking tbh.
I did as well. Actually I was wondering if he lost control of his private key...
He seems to be doubling down though.
Oh a new contender. That would make our speculation game a lot less fun though.

Odell is light on details. I'm intrigued.
Unless the implication is that it was Bitwise or Vaneck and they went ahead anyways because Saylor was acting as an agent for Fidelity and Blackrock who are his largest shareholders as Darth points out.
That's a possibility. Blackrock and Fidelity don't want to donate to devs and know that funds that do will get some of the AUM that would have went to them. That seems feasible to me.
Yeah, that sounds plausible.
Glad to see a lot of people on nostr asking for more info too.
Maybe @ODELL is just trolling twitter now, lol. Seems to be an explanation more reasonable than the accusation itself:
Saylor is their puppet... is the "frontman"

As I always warn you guys...
NEVER FORGET WHO IS BEHIND SAYLOR !

Who is actually the real owner, master of puppet Saylor.

Remember my old post about Saylor: #446513
This is what Saylor wants for you...

No heros. No idols. Only bitcoin. Don't trust, verify.
Isn't funding devs just as much of an attack vendor as not funding them, if not more? Seems like cia would want a few devs in its pocket, and it might accomplish that indirectly through Microstrategy.
It could be of course.
There are no heroes in bitcoin.
Seeing and defending Saylor as savior is fiat mentality seeking for a duce.
He maneuvered himself into a position in which he has partly to play the fiat game aka. using words like compliance, governance etc. in order to not be immediately taken down. He is target of the fiat counterstrike. Expect even more weird things there.
This is both true and false depending on how you look at it. Bitcoin doesn't need a leader/hero. But, humans really like worshiping heroes and it is obvious that Saylor is a hero for many.
To much less of a degree Odell is a hero for many. One thing I have learned over the years is that all humans are flawed and people disappoint you. Don't make heroes out of people in general.
I don't pretend to know if either Saylor or Odell are good/bad. They both have said things I agree with and things I disagree with. Saylor is a minarcist and clearly plays the fiat/state game. Only time will tell.
Think for yourself. Don't trust, verify.

This was confirmed by Samson Mow with some nuance:
I heard the accusation and Matt doesn't want to provide evidence. My gut tells me he's being truthful.
If I were buying an ETF it'd be one that supported devs, but I also understand as many seem not to, that devs can only implement code. They can't get it deployed. Devs flesh out the options but it's users who decide on policy.
Is this a bugle post? I’m so confused.
This is why I posted it here... what is going on!?!
Bold claim. I have not seen any receipts yet.
Meanwhile his NGO takes donations for meant for Bitcoin devs and misappropriates them to astroturf digital dollar projects
Very spooky
