Send us Fan Mail Reads 7: Michael Saylor Vs Bitcoin Well  In this episode of Reads on the Bitcoin Well, Zach dives into two powerful blog posts that challenge the current state of Bitcoin adoption and reclaim the meaning of financial sovereignty.  Blog 1: Bitcoin Doesn't Need Another Michael Saylor This piece by Conrad Fitzpatrick argues that while Michael Saylor was the hero we needed for institutional acceptance, his "Treasury Playbook" has led to a massive rise in "captured" Bitcoin held by third parties. As individual wallet addresses drop, we explore the need for a new type of influencer—Mitchell Mailer—who inspires everyday people to take their Bitcoin into self-custody.  Blog 2: We’re Not Selling Bitcoin, We’re Selling Freedom Chantel LilyCrop explains the fundamental mission of Bitcoin Well: why we refuse to custody your Bitcoin. Through the story of a high-net-worth client choosing self-custody, we break down why institutional "promises" are just the legacy system in a new mask. Reclaiming your keys is the first domino in a bigger awakening about what true ownership actually means.  Stop asking for permission to access your own wealth. Learn how to transition from institutional dependence to true financial independence.  00:00 Intro & Week Recap  02:32 Bitcoin Doesn't Need Another Michael Saylor  03:35 What Saylor Got Right  05:02 What Saylor Got Wrong  05:37 Lessons from Wall Street Bets, NFTs & DeFi  06:26 Enter Mitchell Mailer  07:10 We're Not Selling Bitcoin, We're Selling Freedom  07:44 A Client Who Gets It  09:13 Why We Don't Hold Your Keys  09:59 What Self-Custody Does to You  11:01 Freedom Isn't Easy  11:16 Bitcoin Well's Mission  SelfSovereignty #BitcoinWealth #FinancialIndependence #MichaelSaylor #BitcoinWell
