For Saylor, bitcoin benefits “from all forms of investment” and from all entities.
The bitcoiner clarified that he defends the way that everyone protects their bitcoins.
Michael Saylor, well-known entrepreneur and bitcoin (BTC) enthusiast, has once again spoken out about self-custody of the most popular cryptocurrency. Through his official account on
Saylor, president of the bitcoin company MicroStrategy, said: “I support self-custody for those who are willing and able to do so, the right to self-custody for all, and the freedom to choose the form of custody and custodian for individuals and institutions worldwide. ”.
With this statement, the businessman behind one of the largest bitcoin whales on the market tries to counter the questions he has received from some maximalist bitcoiners, who have criticized him for his perception of self-custody.
The controversy began when, as CriptoNoticias reported earlier, Jameson Lopp, Max Keiser, Jack Mallers and other members of the community questioned Saylor’s comments about personal custody of Bitcoin.
The criticism arose following Saylor’s recent interview in which he compared self-custody to the paranoia of cryptoanarchists, suggesting that they fear that traditional banks could confiscate and control their bitcoin holdings.
After the debate generated by his comments, the leader of MicroStrategy, which has accumulated more than 250,000 bitcoins to date, decided to clarify his position. He assured that bitcoin “benefits from all forms of investment by various types of entities, and should welcome them all.”
The Bitcoin community has been divided on this issue. While some see self-custody as the essence of the cryptoanarchist movement, others, including Saylor, advocate for a more inclusive vision, where both individuals and institutions are regulated and centralized. can participate in the Bitcoin ecosystem according to their own capabilities and preferences.
Saylor, with his statement, attempts to position himself as a bridge between these two worlds, defending the right to self-custody, while underscoring the importance of opening the bitcoin market to all forms of investment.
