He is a visionary, who some call crazy or doing it out of pure self-interest, as he is betting very heavily on bitcoin. But progress is full of so-called crazies who dedicated themselves to moving forward despite criticism. Only time will tell if he was right or not, and for the moment I think the facts are giving it to him. A summary of what he proposes I have in another thread:
M.Saylor sets out in 700 words how the USA can lead the Digital Assets industryAt some point I do marvel at the level of confidence and trust Michael Sailor have on Bitcoin. It takes someone acting crazy in the eyes of the establishment to actually do what he is doing. He made most of the Bitcoin purchase at a point when the confidence of people in Bitcoin is low, let when a lot of people were doubting if Bitcoin was actually going to rise. Today I can simply regard him as the man who saw the future in Bitcoin because he definitely did saw the future and took step to carve a niche in it. When I saw him speak at the meeting in the White House, I was so motivated because he spoke with so much confidence and hope for a future where Bitcoin is bigger than we can imagine.
If anyone thinks that Saylor is crazy, they should go back to when this thread was created and see when Saylor started buying. As at when he was buying, we were calling him crazy but not knowing that he saw today. As at today, many are calling him crazy not knowing that he is seeing tomorrow. If you have money but doesn't have vision, just follow Saylor and you will become generally wealthy.
Without being told, we should all understand by now that bitcoins future is too big to comprehend.
Vitalik is one of them
https://www.cryptopolitan.com/vitalik-buterin-saylors-comment-insane/Of course, Vitalik's judgement about bitcoin is likely skewed by his stupid-ass failing shitcoin.
In other words, there is a need to take Vitalik with a decently sized grain of salt, when it comes to bitcoin or how bitcoin is being talked about by various bitcoiners, including that Saylor is one of the bitcoin spokespersons who has a lot of insights regarding bitcoin's value proposition and the strength of bitcoin as an investment.
Surely bitcoin gives little shits about what Saylor says or does not say since anyone can invest into bitcoin or choose not to.
And Saylor receive lots of criticism towards he's decision to invest and support Bitcoin. Maybe other people can't accept his decision since provably they have hidden agendas that want to prevail, but we really seeing that seeing that MicroStrategy and Saylor is now in good position when they are into Bitcoin. This criticism provably won't stop since for sure that they don't understand what Saylor do and these haters will remain hate him while Saylor and his company would provably get more benefits with Bitcoin.
I agree with you, that it is quite likely that Saylor is going to continue to be proven to be right, just as he has already been proven to be right.. even though he is a relatively newbie to bitcoin, when we consider that he is right around 4.5 years in his investment into bitcoin.
Vitalik can shove his comments up his ass. Not for a second am I going to stop to read what the guy who created a premined and centralized shitcoin to get rich betraying the spirit in which bitcoin was created has to say.
Exactly.. Much more succinct and to the point than what I had to say (above).
