My guest today is Michael Saylor, an American entrepreneur, the executive chairman and co-founder of @MicroStrategy, a public software and services company that recently announced it is also a #Bitcoin  development company. MicroStrategy is undoubtedly the pioneer in holding the company’s reserves in bitcoin. Till recently, Saylor was MicroStrategy's CEO for 33 years. He’s considered to be one of Bitcoin’s biggest advocates, helping many people on their journey into Bitcoin.

This episode revolves around the complexities of power, technology, and the role of Bitcoin in today’s world.
We discussed the trend of centralizing power in the hands of a few, the benefits and drawbacks of big tech systems, the role of governments, and the need for decentralization. Michael explored the nature of Bitcoin as a digital asset or property, highlighting its global appeal and advantages over physical property. He touched on the role of ETFs, on MicroStrategy’s Bitcoin standard strategy, and concluded with the observation that the road to bitcoin adoption is paved with love and patience.

 I seek all Michael Saylor interviews, so thanks.  I’ll also count how many questions you got to ask between his brilliant soliloquies.  😂 
 Let me know once you counted. I know the number! 😅😅 
 I counted 6! 
 Yes!! And a hater told me I was nodding too much and that I should basically not breathe or move when he’s speaking. 😳🤦🏻‍♀️ 
 That’s ridiculous.  

I subscribed to yours and am looking forward to hearing them.  

Nice job!  Your 6:1 Questions per hour of Michael Saylor interview might be a new record.  I’ve seen 2:1!  😂 
 Lol!! 😅😅🧡 holding a record with Saylor is great 
 Also, it seemed to me you were trying to be conversational with him and a friendly host, so of course you’re going to breathe, nod, engage and be human.  Nothing wrong with that.  If you were a BBC journalist, maybe not, but it didn’t seem BBC is the vibe you’re aiming for.  

You were a good host and you asked questions that were relevant to me.  I learned more than I knew about MicroStrategy, of which I own a lot, thanks to that question.  I haven’t heard him explain before how it’s volatile because it is unhedged.

The haters are just projecting the vibe they expect onto your style.  Let them find another show.  Keep going your way. You’re onto something good! 
 Wow. I needed to read this. Thank you. 🙏🏻
Staying humble, stacking…, learning and interviewing is more my thing..  and yes definitely not aiming for a BBC vibe! 😅

Thank you. 🙏🏻🙏🏻

I listen to saylor mainly for the quotes 😏
