Vocal Bitcoin evangelist and the executive chairman of the Bitcoin treasury company Strategy, Michael Saylor, has taken to his X account to deliver a new $BTC message to the global cryptocurrency community.
Saylor chose the mysterious creator of Bitcoin as the subject of his daily post to praise him (them) for igniting the fire of $BTC in cyberspace. This tweet came out just a few days after Bitcoin reached a new historic price peak.
Saylor's "Satoshi fire" message to community
In his tweet, Saylor mentioned Satoshi Nakamoto, underscoring his role in bringing the fire of the digital revolution. The AI-made image shows Saylor as an ancient man dressed in an animal hide (but with muscles on his hands clearly shaped in a gym with weights) and sitting by a burning fire.
The message goes like this: “Satoshi started a fire in cyberspace.” Here is a reference to Prometheus from an ancient Greek legend, who stole fire, gave it to people, and was punished by gods for that.

The company currently holds 628,946 Bitcoins worth $74,072,731,468.
