| Saylor hasn't changed. From the beginning, people like Larry Fink have been    |
| behind his bitcoin experiment. I don't know why people are so shocked by his   |
| position.                                                                      |

| Also, Saylor is talking to institutional investors. Listen to what he says     |
| about who should buy his stock. Everything he said was geared towards getting  |
| big money to convert its cash into "digital real estate." He's not talking to  |
| the individual doing $100/month dca into #bitcoin.                             |

| So for public companies, custodians are essential, at least for now. While I   |
| think having Coinbase be the sole custodian is foolish, a custodial solution   |
| really is necessary.                                                           |

| I am. I try not to get too worked up about people's opinions. I know there are |

| It's always interesting to me when people weigh in on #bitcoin without doing   |
| any research. I know it attracts a lot of attention, so speaking on it gets    |
| noticed, but the topic is a shiboleth (a term Ben would understand). It is so  |
| obvious you don't know what you're talking about the minute you open your      |
| mouth. Those you do know immediately see your fraud.                           |
