“Maybe it’s time to kill your heroes again, and Saylor is now the hero to slay in this cycle.”
Fernando Nikolic is the founder of Perception. In this episode, we get into whether Bitcoin has lost its narrative, why Michael Saylor’s messaging has changed, and how narratives can move markets. Fernando breaks down the shift from Saylor’s early Bitcoin maximalist language to the more recent focus on credit, derivatives and Strategy as a financial product.
We also get into whether Bitcoin’s rebel era is over, why the ETF approval may have marked the end of Bitcoin as a countercultural movement, and whether Bitcoin adoption is now becoming more fragmented, boring and inevitable.
We also get into the death of monoculture, the way the internet has broken shared reality, and how AI, Spotify and algorithmic feeds are creating a more homogenised culture.
