Microstrategy (Saylor's company) owns 0.6% of the supply currently. No other company holds as much. That's part of the reason. His charisma and vocal advocacy do the rest.
Personally, he owns around 18k bitcoin, or 0.09% of the supply. You're saying you personally know people that have 9% of the supply, or 1.8 million bitcoin?
Yes, I know. The friend that told me in 2012 about BTC and sold me 1 BTC for beer money, he already had thousands of them from mining at home (he started in 2010). And he never stop mining and holding all these years. But he's a wise guy and stay in total privacy.

Thousands is far from millions.

thousands in 2012... can you do math?
reply
Can you? You know how many times thousand gets you 1.8 million?
I call bs. Your friend has more coins than Satoshi, sure man.
reply
You will never know. But for sure from now on you will think more about how many BTC you have for yourself. That's the important thing, not how much others have.

Not really. Dca until rip and that's enough for me...

If your buddy was wise, he wouldn't have disclosed anything close to the amount that you are claiming.
People who started mining that early - and are HODLing for that long - understand the true value of bitcoin and, in turn, would DEFINITELY not highlight how much BTC they have.
Your friend is probably lying or you are

What you still don't get it is that it is not important how many BTC my friend have. Important is that sharks like M. Saylor and many other fiat billionaires, will never get those BTC that early adopters got. NEVER.
So I really don't give a shit if you believe me or not. That is not important or relevant. I mention it just to show to new comers that M.Saylor is just a pawn.

What proof you have that he doesn't have those BTC, when I saw them with my own eyes?
