Michael Saylor is a good example why people need to start taking decisions themselves, this man never liked Bitcoin and he have said a lot of wrong things about Bitcoin, many people are mislead by him because after, he later full embarrassed Bitcoin, OP you should always look at the date that people share that nonsense about Bitcoin, it's possible that it's old already.

Today this man have learned his lesson, he now talk about Bitcoin in the open and advice people to invest too, I believe he is was judging something he has no idea about it's purpose but it's good he learned.

Even if this comment about Bitcoin was new it changes nothing, people like Saylor can do this to scare people away so that they can keep buying, stop been controlled by people like Saylor, find answers yourself and make your decision.

You both are right, everyone holding BTC including Saylor will try to sell some of the BTC either to book some seed profit or to avoid from taxation, I have read a few times that, Michael used to sell some of his BTC at the end of the year to avoid huge tax that's one of the strategy of him. Well, but that selling did not have that much impact on the market.

And to be honest, I don't think now Michael has any need to sell those BTC because he is already earning a lot, from his company's Micro strategy, but still, he can book some profit but selling all the BTC and going against BTC is not an option for him now. Many investors have trusted him with their money. While they can trust BTC directly but I think people of old mindsets trust people more than algorithms.

Your DCA exit plan looks nice, and OTC trading can also avoid panic in the market, there are many ways if he wants to sell BTC but doesn't want to create huge panic or fud out of it, like he can sell it privately, etc. But let's just not discuss possibilities that are not even going to happen in any scenario. This SSS plan looks old, don't you think?

We can't avoid this kind of thought where we question one's stand point when we knew that the person is heavily invested on Bitcoin.  I read the article and I find it not disappointing since he is only giving his point of view on how Bitcoin market will grow.  He has some point even though it is disappointing for the Bitcoin fanatics.  But after all it is just a personal point of view and we have our own.  We shouldn't be affected by these kind of article or any influential people when it comes to our investment.  Let them share their thought and let us continue our own research about the truth behind Bitcoin, after all it is our investment, our own decision to make.


Any kind of things that needs adoption needs a charismatic advertisers.  It is not necessarily a leader since Bitcoin is decentralized and we know it has no central authority but for it to promulgate, simply telling information is not enough.  A charismatic marketing is needed for the people to easily accept and adopt Bitcoin but of course we should not create our own version of definition of what Bitcoin is and should stick to fact about Bitcoin and why it is created.

Saylor is a businessman, he moves according to his interests and what benefits him. If he feels that Bitcoin is beneficial to him, he will probably side with Bitcoin and if he feels that it is not beneficial for him, he will probably leave it. And do you think that I would be disappointed by the words of a businessman? of course not. Whatever opinion he has on Bitcoin, it will not change my perception of Bitcoin.

The good from them and from anyone please take it. They seek profits from the business they run, we also seek profits from the investments we make.
Since Saylor came into play with his positive knowledge on Bitcoin, I have always followed and taken positive points from him. Not everything that is heard from them directly influences my decisions, but is filtered before entering the decision that will be taken.
People in listening and hearing them are probably the same as me. Full of filters.

@pixie85. Agreed. We should idolize him on his skill on women and how they become Saylor's jerkers hehehehe. In the cryptospace I reckon this has also worked on men hehehe. Saylor's jerkers form a circle to continue the jerking and tell everyone that there is no second best.

But what's the point/context? Are you saying that Michael Saylor is merely naive and foolish, and therefore he can't be blamed for making false claims? I believe he should be corrected, and educated about what Bitcoin truly is, and what its real value proposition is. OR he probably is acting that way because he knows that Bitcoin as a censorship-resistant cryptocurrency, and a breaker of political strongholds won't get the approval of the government.

But being a person who educates people about Bitcoin through his own site, he should truly know what Bitcoin is and must merely be pretending to be stupid and foolish, https://learn.saylor.org/mod/page/view.php?id=30734&forceview=1

I've never considered him a friend, to be honest, so this switch doesn't surprise me. I guess I'm just generally not very trusting toward extremely rich people, and, as usual, he's been in some controversies, including investigations for financial crimes.
Guys like this are only interested in profit, they don't care about anything else. If it suits him to invest in Bitcoin to make even more money, that's what he does. But it doesn't mean he believes in Bitcoin and in its mission.
Also, a really nice catch by Helena Yu that this particular article is actually old, from 2020. But it doesn't change the matter of untrustworthiness of Saylor to me.

Saylor doesn't give a damn about what is behind Bitcoin, the technicals have not changed since he said that, the only thing that changed is the amount of money the pos smelled he can make with it! The moment he realizes there is not so much more money to be made he will dump it and flee to the next opportunity!

Just think for a moment how is he buying coins in the name of a company, filling each time SEC papers and distributing information to shareholders while storing coins in some cold wallet doing anything to annoymity? The guy is just holding Bitcoin as he would be holding gold waiting for the moment he can take a profit out of it, he would be doing the same with real estate, stock shares or metals, he is not interested in anything else but the $ in gained value!
If he would be so amazed by the features he is advertising that much he would be using the coin, guess what, he's not!


Then how about this:

If you think Saylor is true to his word because of that course, what about Gensler?  
Let's see how you can split two, especially since Gensler had no 4 billion financial motivation behind it!
