Buterin labeled<\/a> <\/strong>Saylor\u2019s stance as \u201cbatshit insane\u201d and warned it could lead to regulatory capture, jeopardizing Bitcoin\u2019s<\/a> <\/strong>core principles.<\/p>\n

Previously an advocate for self-custody, Saylor shifted his position after the FTX collapse, now asserting that institutional custody is safer and dismissing concerns about government seizure as paranoia.<\/p>\n

This change has drawn backlash from the Bitcoin community, including Jameson Lopp, who cautioned against the risks of centralizing Bitcoin custody and emphasized the importance of self-custody for network governance.<\/p>\n
