Michael Saylor known as the founder of the MicroStrategy business intelligence giant and a renowned Bitcoin evangelist has taken to the X social media app (earlier popular as Twitter) to issue a key statement and share a guidance on how to “become the money.”
His tweet is obviously linked to Bitcoin which if stored in the correct and literate manner, can help one become your own bank. However, in his tweet, Saylor seems to be opposing the whole system of fiat currencies.
To do that, Saylor stated, one has to be able to remember 12 words of the private key to a cryptocurrency wallet. Most likely, Saylor is a fan of hardware ones as most Bitcoiners who follow the rule “not your keys, not your coins.” It stresses the importance of having full control of one’s BTC instead of storing it on a centralized exchange.
If you can remember 12 words, you become the money.

Earlier this week, Saylor commented on Bitcoin suddenly plunging below the $65,000 level as he tweeted that it was time to bet on BTC. On that day, April 2, the world’s flagship cryptocurrency plummeted by almost 7% hitting $64,880 after losing the $69,680 level.
Bitcoin is Captain America's shield – Samson Mow
In a recent interview, an extract was shared by Jan3, its CEO Samson Mow shared his take on one of Bitcoin’s key features. He stated that BTC is a “shield that protects you from scams, loss of the value of your time and work”. Besides, per Mow, it provides one with a long-term financial strategy.
Jestingly, Samson Mow likened Bitcoin to Captain America’s shield and said that it is hard money that is “even harder than vibranium,” thus making another reference to the Captain America character and the Marvel Comics universe.
In another recent tweet, Mow also revealed his plans to celebrate the approaching Bitcoin halvening event, which is expected at the end of this month. Per his tweet, he is going to be working at the moment when the halving takes place – he did so during earlier halvings in 2020 and 2016 as well.
For the 2016 one I remember being at the office really late with the BTCC mining pool team to make sure nothing broke.

In particular, he spent the moment of the 2016 halving with the team of the BTCC mining pool to ensure that none of their mining gear broke down in the course of the significant Bitcoin event.
