Smart people don't need to hear anything, they make their own assessment; he too made his own assessment. Anyone with a few brain cells can figure out why Bitcoin is the best performng asset and why you should be in Bitcoin.

> He does not hold Bitcoin for customers…

Michael Saylor personally owns 17,732 BTC. These were bought with his own money and are managed and held outside any corporate or client structure.

On the other hand, MicroStrategy currently owns over 638,985 BTC, built up through corporate treasury operations. These acquisitions are funded by the company, primarily via selling new shares (equity) and issuing convertible notes (debt). Thesis coins are held by the publicly traded company, not owned by Saylor personally, and thus represent capital contributed by shareholders and bondholders.

> He has no direct power over Bitcoin...

Except dumping his personal batch, which is negligent. Let's keep it that way.
