The final results of the poll show Bitcoin in first place, with 43.1% of the vote. The “Love and Relationships” option comes in second with 39.2%. Artificial intelligence is a distant third, with 9.3% of the vote.

Saylor just posted a screenshot of the survey, adding that Bitcoin is indeed “the most important thing.”
This isn’t the first time Dell, whose personal net worth is estimated at $105.2 billion, has hinted at his continued “orange-pilling” behavior.
AS reported by U.TodayDell posted a pretty straightforward post about scarcity creating value. The alleged reference to Bitcoin was quickly picked up by the community behind the flagship cryptocurrency, with Saylor himself also voicing his opinion on the matter.
Things quickly escalated after the centibillionaire posted an AI-generated image of Cookie Monster eating Bitcoin. “Very funny,” the entrepreneur said in a caption accompanying the hilarious image.

While Dell’s Bitcoin-related social media posts have sparked a flurry of speculation, it remains to be seen whether the 59-year-old billionaire is actually interested in investing in the leading cryptocurrency.
Dell’s company began accepting Bitcoin back in 2014 (when Saylor, for example, was still a skeptic). However, the computer giant stopped supporting the cryptocurrency due to insufficient demand in 2017.
It’s unclear whether Dell’s views on Bitcoin have actually evolved since then. While he expressed optimism about the blockchain, rejected to comment on Bitcoin in 2021.
