‘‘The ethos of bitcoin is to go very carefully and not move fast on the base layer without the universal consensus, but in Lightning, you can move much more aggressively developing functionality and take more risks with the applications than you can with the underlying Bitcoin layer.”

At that time, Saylor noted that the company may plan to give Bitcoin to other third-party companies to use Bitcoin funds in the form of liquidity or the company may introduce its Bitcoin use case via the a new application.
