#14 is wise words. Saylor is a strategic thinker, and that's why he pushes the store of value narrative. We do not want to position ourselves as a threat to fiat. There's a lot of powerful people and outright parasites who rely on fiat currency for the stealth taxation aspect of printing.

@Christopher Rogers Yeah, he is going down in history. He broke new ground in the finance industry with these Bitcoin backed financial products, and he tells you exactly how he figured it out, which is querying AI. I see JP Morgan is trying to copy him, more will follow.

I am definitely open to exploring mining as a way to stack long term. I will add that people should stop worrying about raising the fees for mining, IMO. There is no shortage of mining, if you look at the hash rate it's a hockey stick chart. What we don't want is crazy high fees on the Bitcoin blockchain. That drives new people away from Bitcoin. Also, the government is now allowing miners to depreciate their mining machines in year 1, this is significant. A lot of guys who are already rich get into mining, at scale, for the tax write offs, and apparently, as you have stated, you get more Bitcoin over time, as opposed to buying spot Bitcoin. It's my understanding the Bitcoin mining is a way that the rich (which I aspire to be) are using to layer their money, so they get richer off the money they already have. I don't know all the details, but I do know tax avoidance is a key feature. It's kinda like buying property for a tax write off, using the property for meetings, AIR BNB rental, or raising cattle, etc., so you have income from it, and really nice tax write offs, except possibly better.
