This week, Michael Saylor, the executive chairman of MicroStrategy, replied to a social media poll started by billionaire Michael Dell. Bitcoin came out on top. Dell, the founder of the widely recognized computer company, ran the poll on June 28 to find out what people think is most important: love and relationships, artificial intelligence (AI), or Bitcoin.
The end results showed that Bitcoin got 43.1% of the votes, with “Love and relationships” coming in second with 39.2%. AI was far behind, with only 9.3% of the vote.
Saylor shared a picture of the poll results, which showed that BTC was voted “the most important” thing. Dell, whose net worth is $105.2 billion, has hinted before that he’s becoming more interested in BTC .
Dell’s Bitcoin Speculation Continues
A recent post by Dell that caught a lot of attention emphasized the importance of scarcity in building value. This was seen by many as a reference to BTC . This got the eye of people in the cryptocurrency community, including Saylor. Dell shared a funny picture of Cookie Monster eating Bitcoins made by AI and captioned it “Very entertaining.”The argument got even worse.
Even though Dell has said some controversial things on social media about Bitcoin, people are still guessing if the 59-year-old millionaire plans to invest in the top cryptocurrency. Dell’s company started taking BTC as early as 2014, but stopped supporting it in 2017 because there was not much demand.
It is not clear if Dell’s views on BTC have changed since then, since he was unwilling to say anything about it as late as 2021, even though he was positive about blockchain technology.
