Dude knows his shit, but he's pretty cringe a lot of times and gives out pretty bad advice. There's this one frequently-memed-out video[1] where he says "take all your money and buy bitcoin, then take all your time and figure out how to borrow more money and buy bitcoin", which is definitely some dangerous advice for the masses.

Topic: Does anyone else find Michael Saylor a bit over-the-top? - page 2. (Read 269 times)
It's normal for me. There is a lot of Bitcoin maximalist that is only believed and don't want to touch other altcoins. So, we can't force them to invest in altcoins.
Michael Saylor knows what he is doing, those billions will not be invested in Bitcoin if he really doesn't into Bitcoin. Bitcoin is already proven since the beginning.

Yeah! there are lots of them that don't generalize every cryptocurrency out there, every time they talk about it, they just being specific with bitcoins. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with that as long as they don't slander bitcoins without even knowing the basics of it. some other people that are famous in socmed always have their own opinion for everything especially when the time bitcoin is all the topic all around the internet in the recent months.
I don't have any problems with his Bitcoin maximalism, it's a normal stance in this market. The burden of proof lies on altcoins, they need to prove that they are indeed useful like they claim, that they have millions of people using their unique features that other coins don't posses.
What I don't like about Saylor is his cringy BTC promotion tweets, makes him look like some cult leader. If I didn't know about BTC and saw people like Saylor promoting it, I'd stay away. Also, his recent actions with Musk and miners really makes you doubt if he understands and shares Bitcoin values or not.

INCREDIBLY cringey! Watching some of his rhetoric trying to explain/promote Bitcoin is god-awful to watch. If I was not a seasoned vet I would think exactly what you said...some cult leader type nonsense. He is not the man I want promoting Bitcoin at the level that he is.
LOL, we should have a poll on who is the most hated between Saylor and Musk.
At least Saylor has walk the talk, unlike Elon's who is pure of shit lately as he becomes anti-bitcoin. So it really depends on how you look at both of the two, and you can expect it from Saylor as obviously he has a lot of investments on bitcoin and other cyrpto related thingy. And I think he is just countering those arguments about Bitcoin. So if you got annoyed from Saylor then ignore him simply as that.

Lets face it MS has brought awareness of Bitcoin to more investors in the last 8 months or so.
His methods of explaining what Bitcoin can do are different and I havent heard anyone
use the analogies he uses before. I actually think he has quite a high understanding of Bitcoin,
how it works and what it provides, nobody has said these things before so we can commend him
for that.
The other side of that is a lot of institutional investors have entered the space and bought
vast amounts of Bitcoin and literally taken them off the market fuelled by MS Bitcoin awakening's

i find him annoying, to say the least. He is an opportunistic hypocrite craving for attention.
Right before the bitcoin drama and decision... he was in the news for something else... "forcing staff to come in to work during covid"
Basically, not in touch with reality.
If u have used MICROSTRATEGY, their BI product, you would quickly realize it is a product from early 2000s that is made to look nicer..
it is consistently falling behind on its core offering, given Microsoft, tableau/Salesforce, Google/Looker etc have been coming up with better and cheaper alternatives that give far more value for the price.
This immediately meant Michael and his firm were going to eventually go away (as they are fundamentally dependent on one product) and without innovation he wouldnt survive... So innovation he does, not on the product, but his stock price.
By investing into BTC, expected to grow exponentially in the future, he is better on his firms valuation going up XXX times... Essentially, his stock now is an ETF for Bitcoin, as the product itself has no value, it derives its value from Bitcoin, its primary investment now.
Everytime you move your cash reserves into investments, u are potentially starving your business from reasearch and innovation which costs money. i guess right now he is focusing on image building, as much his reputation was ruined post the covid fiasco, he is seeing this as a saving grace.

Excellent response! I think that he will continue to do plenty of good for the crypto-space in the years to come. I just think that it hurts his credibility in regarding to understanding cryptocurrency when he says things like he says in this interview.
On a side note.. Have you ever watched any of Michael's interviews including this one? I do not think that he is the most well-spoken of a person and does not convince me as being knowledgeable in cryptocurrency. I once heard him say, "Bitcoin is protected by a wall of energy." Which, given the context he was using it in, was completely absurd. If he is going to be on all of these podcasts and talk-shows, he needs to be able to present these ideas in an appealing way.

I love the passion that Michael Saylor shows for Bitcoin. I love the way that he helps drive this community as well as how he has helped Bitcoin shine during times of never-ending FUD.
However, I recently watched an interview with him where he discusses why he does not like to invest in ALT coins. While I understand this is a Bitcoin forum and ALT coins in general are not very well received here, I do think that his comments are a bit "narrow minded" in nature.
I do not think he is giving ALT coins enough credit for what they have actually become. These ALT coins are just that, alternate coins. They are meant to complement the crypto space by providing options to people who want or need them.
It seems to me that MS only believes in Bitcoin. While I (and I can't emphasize this enough) FIRMLY believe Bitcoin will always be around and remain one of the top cryptocurrencies, I think it is foolish to think that ALT coins are a bad investment. While some are garbage, there are way too many good projects out there to ignore.
