Mike Saylor The Chad is fun to listen to. He brings a great energy. It’s exciting for Bitcoin enthusiasts. Many celebrate how The Chad has pumped the price for holders.

And that’s great. No problem. But in the excitement, something important is being missed.

The Chad is not just pumping the price but actually fundamentally changing the path we’re on. And since we think Bitcoin is a world changing technology, The Chad is changing where we, as humanity, will go.

Not just accelerating the change, but actually affecting the nature of the change. Here’s six ways how ->

  1. Giving Evil People Power in Bitcoin

First we’ll start with the negative.

Years down the line the Bitcoin network may be worth $100 trillion dollars. It is a network with the power to define who holds power in the world.

Well, who is going to have power on this network? Who is going to be holding the Bitcoins?

That depends on who buys Bitcoin now. And Saylor is a corporate guy who is onboarding his corporate buddies, and going on CNBC, and bringing the bankers in.

Corporations and bankers are kind of evil in America today. They arguably have more power than any politician and have themselves been responsible for the bad laws, bad regulations, bad monetary policy, coming at us from both political parties. They are overseeing America’s decline.

Are bankers and subversive corporations going to get on the Bitcoin network now, elbow out the little guy, and have all the power when Bitcoin controls the world? In return for short term price pumps, this is a bad trade. Pushing Bitcoin on CNBC so bankers can get in is not a good result. Better to stay in stealth mode so the ordinary man can accumulate Bitcoin and hold the power in the future.

2) Giving The Ordinary Man Power in Bitcoin

Bankers and corporations aren’t stupid. They manage huge money, want more, and have very smart people working there. They were coming into Bitcoin no matter what.

Rich Establishment American types sometimes like to keep these things to themselves; they were going to keep it quiet and accumulate.

What Saylor did, in true “open-source” Bitcoin fashion, was to be 100% transparent about what he did. He is helping everyone to understand where this is going.

Given that big institutions have a huge lag time, this is an opportunity for individual citizens to buy Bitcoin now, and front run the institutions. This is unprecedented in modern finance, where normally it’s the other way and bankers front run the little guy.

While institutions are struggling for months or even years to put .5% of their capital into Bitcoin, Joey can slam down 50% of his net worth tomorrow.

Plus, think about how Saylor is. He doesn’t live on CNBC. He calls in for a few minutes to tell them their block of ice is melting. Then he goes onto podcasts with guys who have laser-eye-profiles and are up at 2 AM shitposting on people to “have fun staying poor”, and he’ll just chat and have fun for hours.

At first glance it may seem Saylor is tilting the Bitcoin network corporate, but in actuality, he is accelerating the accumulation of the plebs.

3)America will own all the bitcoins.

It’s kind of funny that people talk about the death of the so-called “petro-dollar.” It’s supposed to be the end of American hegemony of the world.
Meanwhile, it’s overwhemingly Americans who are buying Bitcoin. This is going to be hilarious. We are going to switch from a world run by American dollars to a world run by Bitcoin, which is mainly owned, by Americans.

This, by the way, isn’t some American sleight of hand. It’s because our country is, at least relative to others, the best. And our people are the sickest people who know to slam Bitcoin.

Saylor is promoting Bitcoins to Americans. Saylor is American. His business is American. He speaks English. The TV shows he goes on are American. The podcast interviews he does, for the most part, are done by and for Americans.

Saylor is making Americans buy bitcoin at the expense of every other country on earth. Americans will prosper. Americans will have the power.

This is also a cool testament to the American spirit. Americans know to do Bitcoin.

Saylor didn’t merely buy Bitcoin. He went ALL IN. It’s very bold. It’s American.

Sure, the Norwegian company bought $60 million, and good for them, but Tesla bought $1.5 billion. The world can have fun staying poor.

4) Prevent it from being banned.

Years ago, many felt that the biggest risk Bitcoin faced, the biggest uncertainty, was that Bitcoin would be banned.

Some people still think this is possible, or even inevitable, given the threat it poses to overreaching centralized governments who like to print magic money.

But it’s harder to see how this would actually happen now. Saylor has involved so many people, in the mainstream, psychologically and emotionally, people who he got to talk about Bitcoin and acknowledge it’s a real and legitimate thing, it will make it way harder for them to flip and say it’s evil and must be banned.

In a vacuum, the acceleration in Bitcoin popularity may not matter, but in the context of our world it may be of the utmost importance. Perhaps Saylor is racing to build Bitcoin ownership, perhaps not entirely to pump the price, but to build “the army” who will support Bitcoin and stop any attempted ban.

It’s a blitz war. The more institutional power that he onboards now, the harder it will be for government to ban it. If enough institutions get hold of Bitcoin before government can ban it, then the institutions will use their power and control over government to stop government from banning it. From this angle, time is important, and a frenetic media blitz campaign to increase bitcoin ownership is significant.

5)Defend against a Chinese Communist Party attack

To my mind, the biggest risk against Bitcoin is an attack by the CCP.

Bitcoin advocates tend to deny its possibility, from purely economic terms: “it doesn’t make sense to attack it, there is more money in owning it!”

But the CCP is unlike anything Americans understand. They are psychotic, ruthless, killers. They will burn their country to the ground, and lose trillions of dollars, before giving up power.

Bitcoin threatens the CCP more than it threatens anything else in the world.
It is a threat to centralized, corrupt, thieving rule. Yes, all governments have culpability and face risk here, and that includes the United States government. But for all our government does wrong, we simply cannot touch the CCP.

Bitcoin is rat poison to the CCP.

They are extremely motivated to destroy Bitcoin. The CCP will only be able to exist in a world with no Bitcoin. Further, they have the power to actually try and destroy it. They have significant control over both the miners and the production of mining chips.

Their attack would likely be much sneakier than is realized. They wouldn’t try to control the Bitcoin network, and they wouldn’t send in their military to control the miners.

They would use cutouts to approach the miners, with economic and political benefits, possibly in such a way that the miners may not even fully realize who is influencing them or why. Then they may try to disrupt the Bitcoin network and spread confusion and chaos and losses, even if temporary, to such an extent, that it has long term damages the credibility of Bitcoin.

Would their attack work? Would it just delay the inevitable? No one knows what would happen. But it is a significant attack vector.

Before, the network was smaller and weaker. What the CCP can do to a $10 billion network, and what they can do to a $1 trillion dollar network, which includes MicroStrategy and Tesla, are two different matters.

If the CCP attacks now it will be interesting to see how it plays out. MicroStrategy, Tesla, and others who Saylor have onboarded have made the network stronger. They won’t just sell their Bitcoin in a crashed market for $1000 a coin, eat the loss, and go home. This will be war to defend Bitcoin vs Communists.

6)Prevent World War III

The United States is basically already at war with China and Russia, both of whom have been engaged in a subversive campaign to destroy America for roughly a hundred years.

Look at the geopolitical instability in the world today. Protests recently swept Russia. America has had riots, election fraud, impeachment, and an economy that looks like Germany’s in, perhaps, 1918. China’s history is thousands of years of chaos and now they are ruled by Communist psychopaths.

The world is so much closer to hot war today than most people realize.

Well, to wage war, governments need money, and they need to, well, exist. In some ways, pumping the price of Bitcoin doesn’t matter in the long run. But from another angle, it could be the most important thing to ever happen.
The faster Bitcoin climbs, the faster the CCP and the Kremlin (who controls the most nuclear bombs in the world) will lose power. And the same angle applies to America for those who have the leftist perspective that America is the biggest risk for such a war.

There is a race to neutralize these governments before they can destroy the world. So in the sense that the faster the Bitcoin price rises, the less time we spend in danger, an accelerated rise to Bitcoin is of the utmost importance.
