@saylor, thank you for speaking out about this.  It is now an issue of grave import and great urgence.


Saylor runs a business intelligence (BI) company that specializes in analytics and data mining to guide strategic business decisions.  Although I don’t know anything about MicroStrategy’s internal operations, I’d wager that Saylor probably has operations to monitor Internet chatter about MicroStrategy’s cash reserve asset:  Bitcoin.  National intelligence agencies would call that “OSINT”.

This is not to start some rumour or grandiose conspiracy theory, but to the contrary.  I’m pointing out that even if the instances you cite are not all coincidental—a big “if”!—even if Saylor picked that latest theme up from my WO posts, it doesn’t necessarily mean that Saylor himself saw anything here, much less that he regularly reads WO.  For billionaires who run business intelligence services to get reports about interesting points raised in public discussions would seem quite mundane to me.

I’ll also go out on a limb here, and guess that maybe Saylor and his BI company noticed the POS issue all by themselves.  POS has been growing like an invasive weed strangling the whole “crypto” world.  For those who don’t live in a Bitcoin echo chamber, it is lamentably impossible to miss being assaulted with explicitly anti-Bitcoin POS propaganda.  Not to mention that Saylor is American; he may have noticed that the Biden administration dislikes POW.


Jay, please don’t feel bad if I deem you overruled by Saylor.    This is now fully on-topic in WO:


That said, I am strategically moving most of my approach to this out of WO.  Most of it.  I will probably still post about that here sometimes.
