MSTR and SBR are not moving Bitcoin in a direction of decentralization or improvement in any way I see meaningful.
I find them antithetical to the goals that I and I expect cypherpunks originally thought to be important.
I find it off-putting how much mindshare and effort seems to be put into promoting them vs educating people on why they should avoid them.
It is however probably a good tool for NGU, which I will admit is/was an important driver of "adoption"
How's that?
