The Glamour Belongs to the 'Epsteins', Saylor Just Wants to Hoard Bitcoin
Summary: The recently unsealed Epstein files revealed an unexpected connection to Michael Saylor, CEO of MicroStrategy (now Strategy). In a 2010 email, Epstein's PR coordinator, Peggy Siegal, complained about Saylor's presence at a high-society dinner, describing him as a "zombie on drugs" who was impossible to engage socially and had no personality or understanding of social etiquette. This social awkwardness, however, may have been his saving grace, as it from deeper involvement in the scandal.
This perceived personal flaw is presented as a professional strength in his role as a Bitcoin maximalist. Saylor’s company is the largest corporate holder of Bitcoin, with 712,647 BTC purchased at an average cost of $76,037. Despite recent market volatility pushing the price down and his company's stock falling 60%, Saylor remains committed to his strategy of buying Bitcoin weekly, famously tweeting "More Orange" to signal his intent to continue accumulating.
The article argues that the traits that made him a social outcast—being闷 (boring), uninteresting, and unresponsive to external noise—are the exact same traits that make him a successful "Bitcoin zombie." His strategy is simple and requires no complex decision-making: buy and never sell. While his approach is not advisable for the average investor without his corporate financial tools, the core lesson is that in investing, "interesting" strategies like frequent trading and chasing hype often lead to losses. The most profitable strategies are often boring. The piece concludes that both in investing and in life, the spotlight of "热闹" (excitement/hot spots) is often fleeting and dangerous, while long-term value is found in committed, "boring" work.
