Michael Saylor: Bitcoin, Inflation, and the Future of Money | Lex Fridman Podcast #276

I've become a MAJOR fan of Lex Fridman and his podcasts. In his case, I love that they are long, long, LONG!

They are each packed with so much and I'm trying to listen to all new ones and then going back to the prior ones I've never heard.

Thanks for post. Michael Saylor is always entertaining to listen to. He hasn't convinced me quite yet but he makes you think.

Lex always seems to get superb guests. Plus he is an excellent interviewer.

I'm fascinated by this guy. The seemingly rational approach to Bitcoin is to own a small slice of it. If the thesis is correct, it doesn't really matter how much you own, you'll be fabulously wealthy.

On the other hand, if you're convinced that Rome is burning, you'll want to shelter as much of your wealth as possible in Bitcoin. This seems to be where Saylor's head is at.

I'm totally on the same page – Lex Fridman's podcasts are a goldmine of insights! The best part? They're not just quick bites; they're these lengthy, immersive conversations that really let you dig deep into the topics.


Well stated!

Any first post is immediately suspicious, and if it doesn't start with "hey guys, I've been lurking for a while, I really like the Permanent Portfolio because XYZ" then already it's almost certainly a bot.

Another big red flag is commenting on an old thread.

The text of this one is designed to look like it's saying something without saying much. It could be used anywhere that anybody on any message board has brought up Led Fridman.

I agree with the first two.

Agree with the third but not as suspicious as the first two.

On your end ...when someone joins is there anything to indicate to you whether it is a real person joining or not?
