Michael Saylor just made waves announcing he'll permanently burn the private keys to over 17,000 Bitcoin—roughly $1.5 billion in holdings. His reasoning? A bold statement: "That's my legacy." The move signals a permanent commitment to the asset, effectively removing a massive portion from potential circulation. Whether you see this as conviction or theater, it's definitely catching attention in the crypto space and sparking conversations about long-term Bitcoin strategy.

Burning private keys? Is this guy really serious or just putting on a show... But speaking of which, burning 150 million dollars, that takes a lot of conviction.

Destroy the private key? This guy is really crazy, or has he truly committed his faith to recharging?

Hmm... Burning the private key? Is this guy serious or just putting on a show? Anyway, I believe in his "determination."

Speaking of Saylor, his move is really bold—directly burning the private keys of 17,000 BTC... How confident must he be, haha.
