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?
