Michael Saylor transformed his company by converting $400 million in cash to Bitcoin, becoming the largest individual Bitcoin holder and pioneering the concept of a corporate Bitcoin treasury. His journey demonstrates how Bitcoin has evolved from a dismissed "internet money" to a legitimate store of value and potential foundation for our AI-driven future.

• Michael Saylor initially dismissed Bitcoin in 2013 but later faced a "mega problem" with $400 million in cash losing value during COVID
• MicroStrategy moved to a Bitcoin standard, now owns over 500,000 Bitcoin, and saw their stock rise from $11 to over $400
• Understanding Bitcoin's scarcity: 21 million total with most already mined and distributed before institutions got involved
• The "block size wars" debate between peer-to-peer transactions and store of value functions continues to shape Bitcoin's development
• Bitcoin eliminates the violence incentive in money - you can't physically take someone's Bitcoin if they don't reveal their key
