  • Michael Saylor

    Thank you to Tom Ryan for shining a light on the world of bitcoin through the eyes of Michael Saylor. The dearth of information Tom draws from Saylor through in depth and pertinent questions was not only informative they were asked in a way that the uninformed and skeptics would have no choice but to take notice. Thank you again Tom for your in-depth interview with Mr Saylor. I will be recommending “Welcome to the arena” to all of my friends and colleagues
