Bitcoin Visions Collide: Jack Dorsey vs. Michael Saylor

This week, Rizzo is joined by Nolan Bauerle and Michael McSweeney for a heavyweight clash of Bitcoin visions: Jack Dorsey vs. Michael Saylor. The panel breaks down Dorsey’s developer-first, decentralized payments push versus Saylor’s Wall Street-centric, corporate treasury strategy. They debate who's funding Bitcoin’s future, who’s leading the charge in public perception, and which model holds up better under political and economic pressure. Enjoy!
