Bankless · Is Bitcoin Going According to Plan? Gold, Saylor, Satoshi | Dan Held · 13 Jul 2026 podcast

And so, you know, whereas I feel like mine was a bit esoteric, but more for an easy concept for people to digest, but I didn't go a little, I didn't go Chris crazy with the energy meme.

I think he's taken some narratives and I think gotten a little too esoteric with them.

So overall, I think he's a net positive.

At the same time, you know, he is advocating, ultimately he represents microstrategy.

And so at the end of the day, he's sort of not recommending, but advocating for microstrategy.

And as you know, I never got involved in any of the DATs.

I got offered to be CEO of three of them.

Actually, no, I think it's four of them.

You know, I could have participated in them by buying it early.

I didn't do that either.

You call me old fashioned, but if you want to buy Bitcoin, just buy Bitcoin.

And I think a lot of people had this whole concept around like, oh, well, what if we get like a leverage play on Bitcoin and whatnot?

You know, I don't think that, I think Stretch and MicroStrategy, I don't think were represented in the, you know, most accurate way possible.

I don't think there was malicious intent behind it.

But, you know, so TLDR, I'm kind of waxing poetically here.

TLDR, I think is a net positive for Bitcoin.

However, I would not have recommended Bitcoiners buy MicroStrategy or Stretch or any of those products.

Yeah, I don't think you're wrong that there could be a narrative that would impact price around concentration risk being like, oh, this people just inherently believe more concentration means wealth inequality, censorship, centralization.

So you're not wrong narrative wise, as you mentioned before, though, the Bitcoin code doesn't really care, right?

Like Bitcoin's proof of work function isn't a proof of stake function.
