Excellent debate. Insightful and respectful exchange of arguments and ideas. Debate as debate should be.

I really enjoyed this kind of discussion. Being in disagreement whilst remaining polite. Both sides did well on that. For the listener a good show because there was more controversy to chose from. Thank you!

Loved hearing Lyn talking about some of the risks with MSTR and what she thinks about the mnav. Toward the end I felt like she had to explain basic economics to this guy when talking about stablecoins. He was basically saying if I go to the grocery store and buy eggs there's no new demand for eggs because the grocery store already owned them

“I like Bitcoin but I don’t own any”, said no one who actually knows anything about bitcoin, ever!!!! The ability to accept that traditional valuable tools may need to be revised is lacking. The ponzi argument of paying yield with issuing stocks is worthy, but at the scale mstr do it, I think minimal and make sense for bringing in more funding.
