Strategy chairman Michael Saylor makes a passionate plea to the Bitcoin community as the cryptocurrency enters its next phase of global adoption.
According to Saylor, there is significant cohesion in the Bitcoin community, with most agreeing on nearly everything: Bitcoin's values and ethos, even its origin.
Saylor noted that Bitcoin holders agree on the larger part that matters. "Bitcoiners agree on the 99% that matters," Saylor wrote, but there is a nuance: the remaining 1% seems to be creating a divide.
Bitcoiners agree on the 99% that matters. We shouldn't let the 1% divide us while nearly all global capital has yet to enter Bitcoin's monetary network. The opportunity is bigger than the argument.

In a plea to the community, Saylor urges the Bitcoin community to stay united and not be divided over the remaining 1%, adding that the opportunity remains greater than the argument.
According to the Strategy chairman, Bitcoin is still in the early stages of global adoption, with a significant portion of the world's capital yet to enter its network, leaving room for future growth.
"Bitcoiners agree on the 99% that matters. We shouldn't let the 1% divide us while nearly all global capital has yet to enter Bitcoin's monetary network. The opportunity is bigger than the argument," Saylor said.
Bitcoin's 1% divide
Saylor's comments come as debates continue within the broader Bitcoin ecosystem on topics such as addressing potential quantum threats. While such discussions often generate strong opinions, Saylor believes they should not overshadow Bitcoin's bigger aim.
At the center of the divide is Bitcoin's quantum question, which top cryptographers cannot seem to agree on.
The Google Quantum AI research that shook the Bitcoin community in March showed that a sufficiently powerful quantum computer could derive a private key from an exposed public key in about nine minutes.
The conversation since that paper has centered on the nearly 6.9 million BTC sitting in addresses with exposed public keys and Bitcoin's missing post-quantum migration plan.
At the center of the debate are several proposals, including BIP-361, from developer Jameson Lopp and others, which would let migrated holders prove ownership after the cutoff with a quantum-resistant proof that exposes no key. PACTs, from Paradigm's Dan Robinson, would allow owners to timestamp a private claim now and move funds later without disclosing anything.
