Michael Saylor on Bitcoin Principles (SLP536)
Michael Saylor joins me to explore the fundamental principles of Bitcoin and his approach to considering changes in this space. What happens when we zoom out and view Bitcoin over longer time horizons? Which aspects of Bitcoin are important to preserve? What are the engineering, ethical and economic considerations?

This man knows what’s up. I love how he uses math, science, literature, history, philosophy and. A myriad of concepts to send home the point on why BTC needs to be globally adopted. It’s only a matter of time till the rest of the world catches on.
stephan…it might be beneficiary to everyone if you actually have interest with what your guests are saying over your own desire to ask a question or something similar, you interrupt your guests with a undermining "yeah" strongly giving an undertone of disinterest…it's really irritating
Fantastic episode lads.
This man has absolutely no clue why Satoshi used PoW. This whole talk is hysterical.
What on earth is he talking about ‘different nodes will have different policies in different countries?’
This man does not understand Bitcoin at all!
Thank you for the interview…
He's the prophet
Every time i hear Uncle Saylor speak, i buy more BTC
After thousands of hours of studying Bitcoin until now, nobody has ever described Bitcoin in a better way than in this talk. I've listened to a lot of Michael's interviews too, but he nailed all aspects in this one. I highly recommend listing to it.
Christmas came early! Thanks Stephan (and Michael)!
Udi listening?
Jesus every time I listen to Saylor he convinces me I need more bitcoin.
Thank you. One of the best bitcoin pods I have heard. Don't mess it up if it's not broke.
Saylor is the GOAT 🐐!!!!
thanks ❤

Saylor needs to go into mining to protect his view of what Bitcoin is.
The Genious Of Our Time 😁🚀🙌 Saylor
Thanks!!
Great interview, but Stephan needs to just let Saylor talk.
So much information to absorb.Thanjs gents and wishing you Happy Festivities.
I'm going to take a controversial stand here. I love what Michael Saylor has done for the bitcoin community, and long may he do so. But this guy must breathe through his ears! He's a terrible guest. Every podcast with him is an exercise in the podcast host just handing over the conversation to Saylor and letting what follows be a one-way highway to a stream of Saylor consiousness. He is very fluent with his philosophical ideas, but as for being anchored in any potential reality, his metaphors are built on metaphors built on metaphors. The "New York" model, where bitcoin is analogous to the granite under Manhattan – what if that metaphor is totally off, and it is only a model, a metaphor, then his whole philosophical model collapses. Be wary of the poetic and hypnotic language. I sure hope he's right, but a ladder of metaphor on top of metaphor isn't a basis for bitcoin potential into the future. I learn and value his opinion, but I don't base my investments on what he says.
