Saylor is wrong on this one.
First, I’m a Bitcoin developer, but before all, I’m a cypherpunk. No money in the world will make me go to any other path. By saying “we must avoid funding developers” Saylor is saying our souls are up for sale to the highest bid. Guess what, if I wanted to get rich, I would accept all job offers I get to work on Solana or Ethereum. But I don’t, so I stay poor and humble.
Second, shitcoin networks can still fund developers to develop on Bitcoin. It’s an open protocol, so anyone can do it. But by saying this, Saylor puts the good guys at a big disadvantage: we do not get paid, while the barbarians at the gate are.
Third, Saylor’s company is betting on new products (ex: DiD) on Bitcoin, so Bitcoin developers are, in lack of other words, competition for MicroStrategy.. So, Saylor is just saying “do not fund my competition”, which is, at least, dishonest.
My 2 sats.
