When can we get a decentralized App Store?

The Jack Mallers T-shirt slander is so fiat-coded even some Bitcoiners can’t see it. Jack doesn’t like T-shirts—cool, doesn’t matter to me. But the fact that people are questioning his leadership over personal fashion choices—despite building Strike and likely a second successful company—reveals how deeply conditioned we still are by fiat aesthetics. In a free market, you don’t have to like someone’s vibe, wardrobe, or sense of humor. The only thing that matters is whether they deliver value. Jack delivers: • From Strike and his weekly pod • To the legendary “What is Bitcoin?” speech • To his authentic presence, his responsiveness to customers, and his refusal to play dress-up for fiat clout. TLDR: You can be scammed by a guy in a suit. Jack’s focused on building value—not cosplaying respectability for the fiat class. Jack got me to this side of the bridge and I’m fine looking like those cringy Saylor supporters as a payback(love Saylor obviously but Jack is more my generation). I hope to provide value even close to him one day.

Personally when I watch Jack it never occurs to me what he’s wearing, I’m usually focused on what he’s saying. But hey I’m trying to get out of that fiat mindset of brushing off people who don’t assimilate with traditional standards, if you prefer him to make an effort to fit in I can respect that. I don’t want that though.

Jeans and t-shirt in professionals setting is literally the opposite of fiat. We can agree to disagree, I personally believe that I can get scammed and conned by a man in a suit so I’m more focused on an authenticity and results. Jack admitted that he doesn’t like suits, if I need a suit to make me feel like he’s legit that is okay, but I personally know it doesn’t guarantee anything. His business is successful and he is a reason I’ve even made it to this side of the hard money conversation. I think for his own businesses and image that’s what we are talking about, his being his self and I like that. I have no interest in continuing to believe the things I was taught growing up. Suit is more trust worthy and proper and I man in a t-shirt isn’t. If Jack produces value, he can start wearing no shirt(half kidding). But I’m also serious.I messaged him publicly about a feature I want in his company and he said “ good idea, I’ll reply to the team”. I don’t want Jack to stop being him, I want more of that. Don’t change for our comfort like the value prove itself. Anyway, this is a long way of saying I believe in a natural free market. Be well brother

Naw. Authenticity is important, don’t like his honestly don’t work with him. It’s called a free market. Jack proves that value is value is value. No matter what he wears if his product is good, it will succeed.

Never change man. Goofy, knowledgeable, and smiley, and making your own ways. We need more people like you for us gen Zers to look up too.
