Michael Saylor is not satisfied with having advised Elon Musk to buy Bitcoin. He wants to spread his message to many more people around the World.
In a recent tweet, Michael Saylor announced that he was launching a course for anyone interested in understanding what Bitcoin is, its logic, and its importance. The course is 100% free of charge and is available on the Saylor Academy platform, a non-profit organization created by Michael Saylor.
The “Bitcoin for Everybody” program is 12 hours long, with didactic videos aimed at beginners. It includes 5 Units and offers the option to receive a free certification upon passing a final exam.
For those interested, the course covers the following topics:
Saylor’s efforts to educate people about Bitcoin have paid off. Shortly before announcing this course, MicroStrategy – his company – held the World.Now virtual summit. Saylor’s “Bitcoin for Corporations” program successfully attracted 8,197 attendees from 6,917 different enterprises.
But Saylor is not doing this work for the love of it. His corporate strategy has taken a complete turn after reconsidering Bitcoin’s potential as a store of value. With this premise, he publicly introduced himself to Elon Musk on Twitter, offering to share his “playbook” confidentially.
What came next was history. Tesla also changed its investment strategy by announcing a massive Bitcoin purchase and the possibility of accepting BTC as a means of payment in the future. All of this culminated with Bitcoin prices skyrocketing to new all-time highs in record time and MicroStrategy’s stock price soaring as well.
It is easy to see why Bitcoin maximalists closely follow Saylor’s steps. If he succeeds in spreading his message he will have a more than deserved fortune. He would also earn a spot as one of the biggest influencers in the cryptocurrency world.
