Telling an intelligence agency contractor operating out of Northern Virginia that his influence on the public perception of the NSA's COIN operation should be less state-aligned while you work for a neobank part owned by the secretary of commerce and working with the Treasury is one of the most unhinged use of virtue-signal-marketing techniques that I've seen in some time.
Kinda respect it.
This. Is the only way to view such a letter.

When you put it that way...
Respect.

I see your grudge against me is still intact and your tear ducts are functional!

Quite the opposite! You were ahead of the times, I wasn't.
Tether maximalism turned out to be 100% correct. Tether promoting US national security by monetizing its debt, while setting the stage for what the Commerce Secretary and Treasury are now doing, may go down as one of the most epic clandestine ops in history. Backdooring global Bitcoinization through dollar hegemony is such long-game shit it simply was not on the radar, my bad.
You're right again now too, I think.
Saylor's whole tip-of-the-spear bit couldn't be any more obvious if he held a conference at Fort Meade, and people simply aren't ready to let go of the underdog energy. Egos wrapped up in the Satoshi fantasy must continue to be nurtured as well so that things like S&P inclusion come in the context of "revolutionary potential" as you aptly put it, not just one spooks arbitrage on information asymmetry.
Virtue signaling is important work to keep both ordinary hipsters and America's enemies in the box until they have no choice but to dollarize (and thus bitcoinize). Given that, and since it would be trivial for him to do, it's a salient point you've raised.
God speed, Patriot. π«‘ πΊπ²
