@pmelrog@parkeralewis "Most" I think refers to unsophisticated retail.
Concerning myself I am tracking my investments in Fiat, sure. However, my main metric is BTC - and yes, I am recalculating my BTCT investments with current BCT prices on a daily basis.
@parkeralewis But I see and honor what you are doing here since you seem to focus on (mainly inexperienced) retail folks who should indeed better buy BTC instead of complex BTCTs.
@parkeralewis Restating my main point: I believe a lot of capital comes from investors, that would or could never buy BTC. In this case I think it is good for the whole ecosystem that their money is channeled into BTC via proxy.
@parkeralewis I for myself also keep a small part in BTCT, in this case also MTPL, however mainly because I honor their efforts and intentions and want them to succeed
@parkeralewis However a constructive remark: I think the target audience for BTCTs are mainly professionals and gamblers/traders with high time preference.
Especially for the later I prefer BTC to be locked up long term at Strategy 😉
@parkeralewis I respect your work a lot.
However, I am not sure if your crusade (at least that what it could be interpreted) is the right way to deal with this topic. BTCTs are not our (Bitcoiners) enemies and we should not frame them as such.
@saylor I respectfully disagree on one point. As such a prominent and influential figure, one should only retweet content that is fully understood and deemed trustworthy (= endorsement). Quality counts. Always.
@TimKotzman I have great respect for Michael, but here he is taking the easy way out with the idea that "retweets are notifications, not endorsements." A public figure of such prominence carries weight. The rule should be that one only retweets what one (1) understands and (2) approves.
