What a year it has been in the cryptosphere, the fallout from the market downturn has been brutal to say the least, but many would argue a natural trajectory for any nascent industry. One man who has been very much front and centre in all discussions, and certainly the go-to guy when it comes to Bitcoin, is Michael Saylor.

Michael Saylor is an American entrepreneur, technologist, author, and Bitcoin evangelist. The last time he joined me on the show, he described Bitcoin as the “apex property of the human race” and the scarcest asset in the world. As you’d expect from the most well known maximalist of them all, Michael’s views remain very much the same despite Bitcoin dropping below the $20,000 mark.

I think it was Warren Buffet who once said “the stock market is a device to transfer money from the impatient to the patient”, and that philosophy might just sum things up. Patience and a long term outlook are things that Michael believes in and it is one of the reasons why he’s stepped down as CEO of Microstrategy to focus on their Bitcoin acquisition plan in his new role as Executive Chairman.
