Michael Saylor Gets Community Intrigued With U.Today’s Bullish Simpsons Bitcoin Tweet
U.Today – Michael Saylor, a staunch believer and co-founder of business intelligence giant MicroStrategy, took to his account on the X platform (formerly known as Twitter) to make a bullish statement on Bitcoin.
His tweet also piqued the community’s curiosity because it featured an image of Homer Simpson, who is “bullish on Bitcoin.”
Michael Saylor posted this tweet as Bitcoin continues to trade in the $64,200 zone, after falling from the $65,800 level with a 3.53% decline.
Previously, the world’s leading digital currency had seen a dramatic price increase of nearly 16 percent between July 12 and July 17, rising from $56,880 to $65,910.
Mt. Gox Creditors Plan to Hold On to BTC
According to a tweet by Chinese blockchain journalist Colin Wu, in a Reddit poll, a group of holders who finally received their Bitcoin compensation from the failed Mt. Gox exchange shared their plans on whether they intend to sell their recovered BTC, and if so, what percentage of it.
Of the just over 460 people who participated in that survey, 260 Redditors have no intention of selling any of their Bitcoin. Sixty-eight people plan to send 1%-25% to exchanges to sell. Eighty-eight investors will dispose of 100% of their BTC recovered from Mt. Gox.
Samson Mow, Bitcoin maximalist and CEO of Jan3, believes that no more than 20% of the $6 billion in Bitcoin sent by Mt. Gox in compensation will end up on the market. The rest, he says, will be locked in cold wallets for long-term storage.
