🧵 THREAD: A Financial Story Most People Still Don’t Get
📅 March 20, 2000
In just 6½ hours, one man lost $6 BILLION.
Not months.
Not weeks.
One trading day.
📜 Regulators confirmed it.
📰 The Washington Post called it “the largest single-day personal loss in history.”
That man was Michael Saylor.
Fast-forward to today ⏩
The same person now controls ~670,000 Bitcoin
≈ 3% of all BTC that will ever exist
💰 Capital committed: $50B+
Wall Street sees risk.
He sees pattern recognition.
What everyone missed
This isn’t about greed.
This isn’t about ego.
🧠 It’s about psychology forged by trauma.
The Dot-Com crash (2000) taught him:
❌ Accounting profits can vanish overnight
❌ Regulators can rewrite reality instantly
The Fed response (2020) taught him:
❌ Fiat money can be diluted without warning
❌ Central banks change rules mid-game
So he searched for the opposite.
Why Bitcoin?
• No earnings to restate
• No CEO to replace
• No central bank to print more
• No permission required
👉 Bitcoin became the antithesis of everything that once destroyed him.
The binary outcome ⚖️
📌 By 2026–2030, there is no middle ground:
Either
🚀 One of the greatest concentrated bets in financial history
Or
💥 The second catastrophic collapse of a single career
The math doesn’t negotiate.
Volatility doesn’t compromise.
The irony nobody talks about
In 2013, he said Bitcoin’s “days were numbered.”
That tweet still exists.
Today, he holds more Bitcoin than
$BTC • Any corporation
• Any sovereign fund
• Any individual—except Satoshi
🧩 Genius… or repetition compulsion?
📅 History delivers the verdict by 2030.

Because stories like this don’t repeat often—
but when they do, they redefine finance.
