I appreciate Michael Saylor's pro-Bitcoin stance and if it actually had ambassadors, he'd be on my short list of candidates. I do however take exception with this statement:
3. Everyone is against Bitcoin before they are for it.
This might be "projection" on his part. I don't profess to speak for everyone and certainly most people I talked to about it from the beginning were skeptical or just had no interest but personally, I was never against Bitcoin. My understanding of Bitcoin changed over time and maybe I was only curious about it at first but I was never "against" Bitcoin. I suppose anyone can have a list of "rules" though and he didn't call it Saylor's Laws of Bitcoin so maybe it was just a fun thing to pass some time for him and I'm overthinking this one.
I for one was never "against" Bitcoin.
As soon as I became aware of its existence, I was immediately fascinated and curious and became an instant enthusiast. I just wish I'd heard of it sooner.
I'd probably be filthy rich. Unfortunately I was too late to start GPU mining so my hobby of PC hardware wasn't of much use. The race to replace FPGAs with ASICs was already going full tilt and I actually pre-ordered ASICs from Butterfly Labs before acquiring my first coins.
How many would I have stacked if I'd paid pennies instead of dollars and stuffed mobos with videocards?
