Do not really care about their discussion of a 1% (wow!) spent on bitcoin.
Vote away...one way or another.
MSF buying Bitcoin would probably be the "ok" for other big businesses to do the same. It could mark the beginning of the run on BTC by institutions ...after which countries will follow.
Nothing is a signal to anyone...Saylor was buying bitcoin for years...and who followed?
A small japanese company plus skittish Tesla?
I know, they are few others, but on a VERY limited basis.
I don't think you can equate Tesla buying Bitcoin to Microsoft buying Bitcoin. Elon has a reputation for doing off the wall things that others don't understand. Microsoft is a pretty well established and reputable company.
At the very least... I don't see how it would be a bad thing for adoption if Microsoft was to buy... even a little bit.
Microsoft had actually integrated bitcoin merchant purchasing into the Windows, Windows Phone, and XBox UI interfaces...
10 years ago....and then promptly removed it.
So why all of a sudden would they be seen as a Bitcoin champion supporter? Why would a Microsoft bitcoin purchase mean fuck all at this point?
I never said they are a "Bitcoin champion". My thoughts are any large established company buying Bitcoin is positive. We still want mass adoption right? I could care less about Microsoft in particular. I just see them as a top S&P 500 company bringing more attention to Bitcoin.
