THE CAPITALIST AND THE CYPHERPUNK — SAYLOR’S “MONETARY PURITY BY FIAT” POST, BACK REPOSTS. FIRST PUBLIC ALIGNMENT OF THE FIGHT.

Michael Saylor posted at 1:32 AM Eastern with a single line on BIP-110: “monetary purity by fiat.” The post cleared 250,000 views within hours. Adam Back reposted. That is the first public alignment of the wrapper class and the cypherpunk wing in this fight — Cap tier and the deepest Tech-tier authority on the same side of a live protocol proposal, and their audiences see them saying the same thing. Both critics argue the same structural point: BIP-110 attempts to police disputed activity through consensus rule changes rather than through the fee market or voluntary node policy. That is the argument. When Saylor and Back agree publicly, the argument is no longer just Saylor’s argument or Back’s argument. It is the argument the Cap and Tech tiers share going into the August lock-in threshold. Signaling remains under 1 percent. F2Pool has refused publicly. The vote count is arithmetically closed for period 475. Whether or not BIP-110 activates, the political weight of a Saylor-Back alignment has been placed on the record.
