Saylor: ‘Crypto Winter is Here-But Spring is Near!’

In the hushed glow of Fox Business’ studio, Michael Saylor, the venerable helmsman of MicroStrategy, intoned with the solemnity of a prophet that the digital realm had succumbed to its fifth winter, a season of frost in the realm of cryptic coins.

Five years have passed since Saylor first set foot in this digital expanse, and now, the fifth tremor of decline has shaken the very foundations of Bitcoin‘s ascent.

“Milder” and “shorter”

“We’ve got the support of the administration…We’ve got 12 cabinet members that are pro-digital assets and pro-innovation,” Saylor explained, as if the very idea of a government embracing progress were a miracle.
