I don’t think Saylor actually believes that. On some occasions his mask slips a bit and he says the quiet part out loud. Like the time when he was bashing the “paranoid crypto anarchists” and said the war for money is won by money. If he doesn’t believe Bitcoin is money, why would he say [Bitcoin] is waging a war for money? I think he understands his ever growing role in making Bitcoin mainstream and he’s careful not to piss the wrong people by endorsing a dangerous narrative that Bitcoiners understand well, but the rest of the world hasn’t yet caught on: that Bitcoin is money and has all the capabilities of the best money. And it doesn’t matter what frame you’re going to put it into, the tech doesn’t care. If you can use it in a certain way (for example as a MoE) people will use it and you can’t convince them not to by simply swapping terms. Eventually, when the world catches on what Bitcoin is, it will be too late to worry about the threat for the dollar, because at that point no one would accept it for payments.
