Poptimist, I second your viewpoint.
I’m not saying MS will never have some kind of deal with ARB, but he was making a point, in a casual, joking way. The point was that miners, in general, will hodl more and more of their production as time passes and that institutions will buy miners to indirectly increase their exposure to Bitcoin, thereby getting round the 10% crypto limit they now have.
I think MS was leading PW into saying he would buy btc, leading to more IIs buying ARB, raising the sp and allowing them to borrow in the market. I think the question threw PW, who gave it to Benny(?). Benny didn’t twig either, so they both came out with the stock line of “investing in infrastructure “.
The interview was not a cosy, choreographed chat. MS chucked a few awkward questions at PW. Some were handled very well, others made PW squirm a bit. Overall a very good performance and well worth a listen.
