It's good that he finally saw sense, albeit 7 years later. Just imagine the profits he could have made, if he was smart enough to buy in 2013 (or 2014, or 2015, or...).
He claims to have completely forgotten about that tweet until it was pointed out to him. He re-discovered bitcoin. And now that he understands it, his long term view is the same as that of many others who think it is impossible. In a decade or two, eat up gold's marketcap, then in a century or less eat up derivatives to the tune of between $100T to $300T. Along the way we will have 30% to 80% crashes and corrections, but it's going to $10m ~ $14m per whole corn before the end of pure block rewards without transaction fees (in other words, before the last bitcoin in 2140.) I won't be around then, so I wouldn't really care if I'm wrong about it. This post isn't going to age well I think.  And he's going to educate other companies this Feb 2021 on how to get in, how to buy bitcoin to add to their balance sheets. Bullish. |

I've watched a few videos on youtube where Michael Saylor was a guest, each one about an hour long. He makes a lot of sense and explains in plain english what it means to him.
Considering he started learning it all just last year, in 2020, he's not bad at all. Dude is MIT graduate I think. Rocket Scientist or something.
it is encouraging to see how fast an open, smart mind can go down the bitcoin rabbit hole. now compare that to those who should professionally be open minded in such a way that they could at least comprehend bitcoin and write about it to their readers: the journalists. them failing miserably for almost a decade.  Correction, he knew about bitcoin in 2013, but turned around in 2020 and is now our favorite CEO whale. Yup. Here's a tweet he posted in Dec 19, 2013:  https://twitter.com/michael_saylor/status/413478389329428480It's good that he finally saw sense, albeit 7 years later. Just imagine the profits he could have made, if he was smart enough to buy in 2013 (or 2014, or 2015, or...). I remember that day week like it was yesterday. If he had "bought the dip" then: ~$385/btc. Instead he paid around 30X higher. In 7 years from now, if we 30X again we'll be > $1M/btc. |

Funny how ones tune can change if you have some skin in the game hey? it makes me wonder if he had done any research in 2013 before posting that tweet? If he had done, surely he would have come to the same conclusion that he does today? On the other hand, if he didnt do any research then why post about it if he didnt have all the facts? Don't get me wrong, I think he is doing us all a great favour with his bitcoin evangelism. Just curious as to what he was thinking in 2013? |

One thing are logical conclusions about rational strategies, another are markets, whose rationality isn't tied to anyone's solvency, as the saying goes. Maybe what he needed was to see a couple of actual post halving pumps? |

Double spend, right. The protocol is flawed! The cryptography is no good, that's why. All our coinz are doomed... I thought an AR company would have the know how to tell their elbows from their asses. Obviously, I was wrong. |

Hillarious! So it's that distrust into bitcoin at core. A beginner's mistake. I feel bad for them, really... EDIT: And the worst is: They will always justify their mistake somehow, no matter how stupid they look to themselves in the mirror. Thinking of mindrust right now... |

"booked approximately a $200,000 profit" Goddamn that's pathetic, for the amount of coin they sold. They never deserved to HODL in the first place. |

They MAY, right - but wouldn't they be ashamed of such a display of cluelessness, even if faked? |

I wouldn’t care. It’s just someone picking two things together and running with it for his own agenda. Like the MSM  |

Many peoples become interested in and investing in Bitcoin. I think Bitcoin is our up coming future. People who did't like it a while ago are now investing in it. |
