If BitcoinBitcoin is a religion, then MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor is its high priest.
Since investing a significant portion of his company’s treasury last year, he’s been saying things like “God’s name is Satoshi,” and likening Bitcoin to a “swarm of cyber hornets serving the goddess of wisdom, feeding on the fire of truth.” He held a conference last week in an attempt to get other publicly-traded companies on board, and predicted an “avalanche” of new investors would join the crusade.
Now, Saylor is bringing Bitcoin to his education-oriented non-profit, Saylor Academy. A new online course promises to teach “Bitcoin economics, investment, philosophy, and history, as well as its technical and practical components,” in a 12-hour package.
Introducing Bitcoin for Everybody - a free course to educate the world on #bitcoin and assist anyone seeking to harness this digital monetary network to promote economic empowerment. https://t.co/iqxv3vjHpg pic.twitter.com/VJz1kHiS8a

Course details appear to echo some of Saylor’s rhetoric: one section, interspersed with quotes from the likes of Coleridge and Mark Twain, claims Bitcoin will speed humanity’s transformation into a Kardeshev Type I civilization. (The Kardsehev system groups hypothetical civilizations into three categories, depending on their ability to tap the energy of the universe—Type 1 can harness the full energy potential of its own planet.)
And while there’s plenty of evidence to suggest that Bitcoin mining is significantly more energy-hungry than the traditional financial system, this is usually not considered a good thing.
That the course is part of Saylor’s vision for long-term crypto dominance shouldn’t be too surprising. Consider the source: MicroStrategy now holds over $3 billion in Bitcoin.
Elon Musk and President Donald Trump are no longer besties. Everyone knew the brofest between the Richest Man in the World and the Most Powerful Man in the World was never going to end well. And that makes it all the more awe-inspiring when it finally ends—not with a bang, but with a fusillade of nasty shitposts. So pull up your chair, and enjoy the antics of America's Finest. Most of us can remember the lovely sendoff President Trump gave the celebrated sperm donor Elon Musk (cue Green Day) on...
The website for a crypto wallet linked to President Donald Trump’s meme coin went dark for many internet users Thursday, hours after the project received a cease and desist letter from another Trump-linked crypto project threatening legal action. Earlier this week, Trump’s meme coin project launched a crypto wallet in partnership with major NFT marketplace Magic Eden, offering a chance at financial rewards in the form of TRUMP tokens to users who signed up for the product’s waitlist. The wallet...
It was early April, during the middle of a conversation with Decrypt at Cantor Fitzgerald’s swanky midtown Manhattan headquarters, that Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino abruptly asked to pause the interview. The reason? He’d noticed a “weird message” on the laptop open in front of him. After twenty seconds of silence in the conference room, Ardoino’s face flashed a big grin. Reports were circulating that Circle, one of Tether’s chief competitors, might tap the brakes on its long-planned IPO. ”People w...
