I agree with your sentiment with Saylor. He makes many valid points, but if one believes bitcoin is a pyramid, he is at the top.
I also understand the desire to have a "neutral source" that has no stake in the asset. The problem is, once you actually understand bitcoin, you would be acting I'm opposition to your own interests by not participating in the network, and by earning, purchasing, and using bitcoin, you gain an experience with it that can't be rivaled by theoretical study. You know true financial responsibility.
However, i disagree that universities do not benefit from our current fiat monetary system. I say this as a believer of academic pursuit. I am a first generation graduate who relied on assistance to be able to achieve that climactic moment. Through taxes, government subsidized loans, grants, donations from entities with vested interests, all of this money comes with a caveat.
I mentioned this person before I believe but please check out birdapp:@thetrocro. https://youtu.be/G3fw6Z31eKo
He is a professor, environmentalist, philosopher and (if you can stomach it) bitcoiner. If you're serious about understanding why I believe bitcoin is necessary for the energy transition, take 30 minutes to watch his presentation.
Please also respond, I would like to hear your thoughts on the matter. We build understanding by discussion.
