I think MIchael is so popular because, for as smart as he is, he speaks to the common man. Even a child can understand it.

[LKNDIY]

Michael does what all great teachers do, they drive home the same point multiple times through different analogies. This art has been lost with our quick click culture, this was standard practice in the early 1900’s. People would read and draw parallels to their points drawing on interesting history. These long formats are gold.

[Ermz]

Saylor is the best. Ask a question, sit back and know you won't need to say anything for the next 2 hours.

[hotjamsm]

Saylor is the engineer and provides the how it works. Breedlove is the philosopher and tells you why we need it. Great combo here.

[carbonfibercrypto]

These gentlemen successfully orange pill me all over again every time I watch. Mike Saylor really knows how to walk you through analogies in order to make strong points. Robert does a great job remaining silent and letting Michael riff and do his thing. Bravo!

[richbirecki]

Never has anyone on this planet spoke at such length, yet with such brevity

[digital_gravity]

Holy, moly, this is the second 2+ hour Saylor interview to drop today. Dude's been busy!

[JuiceBox_Miami]

This will be watched hundreds of years from now as looking back at the great philosophers of our time, the 21st century. The kind of philosopher that is a once in a lifetime philosopher.

[JakeRoque]

Michael Saylor is just all time. Great episode Robert 🫡

[Blablablarandomguy]

I could listen to Michael talk for hours. It's a pure pleasure. It's extremely intellectually stimulating, aka I can feel my gigabrain expanding because of this gigachad

[RunyCalmera]

This is a continuation of the Mobile Wave. He just extends it and continues the conversation with energy. This is incredible how consistent Saylor has been.❤❤❤❤

To answer your preliminary question, "What is energy?", you have to understand the universe from the most fundamental point. Energy is un-manifest, non-cartesian, potential. Michael does a great job of giving examples of the mechanized manifestations of energy (ie: horse's motion, boxer's punch, firearm's bullet, bomb's explosion, etc.). Note that these examples are all projections (A comes from B). These examples of mechanized projections are analogous to pure "energy" and its projection(s). For example, take a heavyweight, championship boxer. When the boxer is sleeping, he is akin to energy. He has all of the potential to deliver a knockout blow, but he is in his most stable form while sleeping. Once he is placed in the ring, the bell is rung, and the match begins ( ie: various temporal and spatial conditions satisfied), then the knockout punch can be delivered. The punch is a manifestation/release of energy, but it is not energy itself. Similarly, take a bomb for example. Prior to initiating the fission process, the ball of uranium within the bomb is akin to energy. The explosion is the release of that energy. You could even go so far as to say that the explosion is the "loss" of that energy. Now let's examine energy by itself without the use of material examples like a boxer or a bomb. From the prior examples, you can see that energy is a condensed, stable entity. You can also see that the release/manifestation/loss of that energy is an entity that expands spatially through time. Energy is timeless and space-less. When energy is released/manifest/lost, it actually gives birth to time and space. Energy is potential. It is the potential for all of the machinations of the cosmos.

So far as Bitcoin is concerned though. Bitcoin in cold storage is akin to energy. Bitcoin in motion is akin to the loss of that energy. Just like an atomic bomb, the world moves in its wake.

I hope that clears some things up.

[WeTheFactClan]

I HATED physics in school, but I LOVE listening to Saylor about it.

[mckontext]

I have come to the conclusion that the basis of reality, or what religions call God, is Energy. The first 6 episodes of WiM with Saylor were vital in going down the rabbit hole(s) to come to that understanding. Forever grateful to both of you, Michael and Robert.

[JeffNeubauerJesus]

Thanks Robert and Michael. Keep up the great work.

[HHH]

Unreal amount of information here, those who are listening, High Five!

See you on the other side of abundance

[prula]

I can listen to michael think all day long. Its so amazing! 🎉

[Zoofactory]

I can actually feel my brain growing while listening to this. ❤

Two LEGENDS having the most eye opening conversation, kings.

[RealWeAreSatoshi]

Two visionaries and great communicators; this should be good!
