Michael Saylor About Sam Bankman-Fried
Saylor has a knack for tweeting random statements on Bitcoin and its future prospects. In a latest tweet, he suggested that the FTX founder who is subject to intense regulatory scrutiny over allegations of user money fraud, indirectly created lots of Bitcoin maximalists. However, Saylor’s tweet received heavy criticism from the crypto community, which is already burdened by the crash that resulted from FTX collapse. Saylor’s statement was hinted at SBF role in indirectly helping the cause of Bitcoin adoption thanks to the recent collapse of FTX.
“Sam created a million Bitcoin Maximalists.”
Responding to this, a crypto enthusiast said the maximalists promoted centralized protocols instead of decentralized Finance (DeFi). Mario Romero’s tweet said,
“Maximalist were the ones promoting centralized venues instead of DeFi. Sam defrauded a lot of people that listened to them.”
Microstrategy currently holds around 10,000 BTC. As of writing, BTC price stands at $16,654, down 0.11% in the last 24 hours, according to price tracking platform CoinMarketCap.
