MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor recently stirred debate by claiming he'd work at McDonald's just to earn Bitcoin. Not everyone bought the sentiment. Bitcoin critic Peter Schiff quickly countered, suggesting Saylor's willingness to trade his career for BTC actually reflects the harsh reality facing long-term Bitcoin holders. The exchange highlights a fundamental divide in how industry figures view Bitcoin's long-term viability as an asset—optimists like Saylor see transformative potential, while skeptics like Schiff view such statements as cautionary tales about speculative fervor. Which perspective resonates with your investment thesis?

Selle, is this guy truly a believer or just marketing? He's so absolute... But on the other hand, Schiff's theories aren't necessarily reliable either; he's just always bearish.

That guy Selle is really crazy. He’s willing to give up the CEO position just for BTC? Let’s be rational, it’s not that serious.

Saylor is a bit crazy... Is he really willing to go to McDonald's just for BTC? Nah, I don't believe it, it's just rhetoric. Schiff is not wrong either; this is a clear display of gambler's mentality. --- Wait, are we talking about faith? Then I have to say, without a profession, there's no capital to HODL coins, brother. --- How much Satoshi can you buy with a monthly salary at McDonald's? This question is a bit tough. --- I just want to ask, will Saylor really go on that day? Or are we just talking tough for fun? --- Both of these people are just defending their respective portfolios; nothing new. --- If I had to choose, I believe time will give the answer. It's too early to judge now. --- Saylor's remarks are indeed outrageous, but look at BTC's performance over the past three years... Does it seem really promising?

Selle, is this guy truly a believer or just pure marketing... I can't quite tell lol Sith's point isn't without reason, but such extreme assumptions are inherently awkward.

Saylor's recent remarks are indeed a bit too devout, I mean... really treating Bitcoin as a faith? But I'm also tired of Schiff's rhetoric, it's always the same line "This is a bubble," and then what? I'm currently quite conflicted, on one hand I think holding long-term makes sense, on the other hand I'm worried that the few small coins I bet everything on will go to zero. Basically, I want to make money and sleep well, an impossible task.
