I have often thought what Saylor is doing is unethical....and now I am hardening that thinking....

I think Jeff Booth said something along the lines of it being impossible to measure a system from within the system? or something like that...anyway what always pops into my mind when I hear even him talk about EgoDeath and really all the VC investors...etc... is that so often they talk about the 40-60% returns Bitcoin has had year-over-year since inception....and then how they decide what a "good" investment is by whether or not the return they will get will outperform that 40-60% metric....and I want to puke....

Maybe its just me - but that thought is nothing more than measuring Bitcoin from within the current system - and quite frankly it is shit! If you only invest in new companies or ideas based on beating Bitcoins returns viewed in FIAT terms - you are missing the forest for the trees....

In my stupid mind - The only way to achieve being on a Bitcoin standard is to be on a Bitcoin Standard. (period-full stop as they say)

Now - of course - we are still living in a world that operates almost entirely on a FIAT standard (with a parallel Bitcoin Standard taking hold) so we all have to "hedge" to some degree - It seems to me to be more like this....

Those with the most "data/value" in the larger system - have the least to gain by moving to the new system and vice/versa those with the least "data/value" in the larger system have the least to lose and therefor fewer barriers to move into the newer system (when they deem it fair and conducive to them).

The larger "data/value" holders need to recognize this paradigm and be willing to expend their holdings/savings in the old system in order to grow the new one...however so many are still confused about what the actual return is that they are looking for....they are still thinking in the FIAT mindset of HODL your savings to carry into the future vs. the Bitcoin mindset of abundance in value through scarcity and growing the users/network/new system making it more secure as fast as possible to ensure it doesn't become simply another "pawn" in the 5-d game of chess being played by the ruling class....(nothing against them-as most likely don't even know the game they are playing and have even less of a clue that they accelerate the hate/greed/contempt that proliferates under the FIAT system)

Sorry not Sorry
