Thats not the problem. If there are people who learn about Bitcoin and go on to buy it and manage it with their private keys because they watched one of Saylors talks, so much the better. Whats actually happening is quite the opposite: Saylor is on track to accumulate a million Bitcoin, and people who could have bought Bitcoin to manage it with their own keys are buying his products instead.
On top of that, the flagship product hes trying hardest to promoteSTRCis the exact opposite of what Bitcoin was created for: it centralizes a massive amount of Bitcoin and prints unlimited debt-based products based on it. Just like central banks, which hold gold reserves and print money without limitbut you can't redeem it for gold. And if youd at least say that this is why the price has skyrocketed, well, wed still be happy with thatbut not even that, because Bitcoin's returns since those massive purchases have been rather poor. Decentralization in terms of ownership has been sacrificed for nothing.
I, you, and maybe a few others understand what's really going on, but most of those who see Saylor as a positive person aren't really that different from him, except of course that they don't have the same money as him. For him, the goal is to have as much BTC as possible, for those who follow him, the goal is just for the price to be as high as possible one day so they can profit.
However, in the end, I think that this whole story cannot end positively - because at some point that company (with or without Saylor) will change its
"strategy", which means that it will start selling its coins. So many coins in the possession of one company is a problem no matter how you look at it.
