Michael Saylor Intrigues with “Faster Bitcoin” Tweet As BTC Price Shoots Up

As a seasoned researcher with a keen interest in the evolving digital economy, I find myself intrigued by the dynamic interactions between traditional finance titans and the burgeoning world of cryptocurrency, particularly in the context of Michael Saylor’s recent Bitcoin-themed tweets.


Michael Saylor, who is both a co-founder and the current executive chairman of the large business software company MicroStrategy, recently posted a tweet about Bitcoin within the crypto community.

This incident transpired following a 2.8% rebound in the leading global digital currency, which had earlier experienced a 3.13% drop this week.

Saylor’s tweet implies that you may desire something quicker, symbolized by the use of the hashtag #Bitcoin. In the image accompanying the tweet, Saylor is dressed in a black suit and an orange tie, which represents Bitcoin, and he stands next to a sports car displaying a Bitcoin logo instead of a traditional automaker’s insignia.

The ticker symbol for MicroStrategy stocks (MSTR) is displayed on the vehicle as well, implying that Saylor is not just endorsing Bitcoin, but also his own business through his tweets at this time.

You are going to want something faster. #Bitcoin

Saylor seeks peace with Bitcoiners

On October 23rd, Michael Saylor addressed the criticism he has received this week from various Bitcoin enthusiasts, including well-known early BTC holders like Max Keisier and Samson Mow. In a recent interview, the founder of MicroStrategy dismissed concerns that the US government may seize users’ Bitcoin stored with private and certified custodians in the future.

He added that gold in 1933 was not forcibly taken but rather willingly surrendered by the people. Regarding individuals who advocate for decentralization in financial systems and prefer to store Bitcoin independently, Saylor derided them as “fearful crypto anarchists” who are unregulated entities that refuse to acknowledge government authority or pay taxes.

The community unleashed its criticism on Saylor with some even pointing out that just a few years ago, he tweeted the traditional Bitcoiner’s slogan “not your keys – not your coins.”

This shouldn’t be a controversial position. Just common sense.

On Wednesday, Saylor opted to withdraw from the situation he found himself in, expressing on Twitter his endorsement for “self-custody for those who are willing and capable, the right to self-determination for everyone, and global freedom to choose the type of custody and custodian that suits individuals and institutions best.

As an analyst, I’d express it this way: “I affirm that Bitcoin thrives on investments from diverse entities, inviting everyone to join its growth. In a recent tweet, I reiterated my unwavering commitment to Bitcoin, regardless of my perspectives about its future. However, while some within the community advocate for decentralization and view Bitcoin as a peer-to-peer currency in line with Satoshi’s vision, I see it more as a valuable store for Wall Street.
