Michael Saylor, a renowned Bitcoin evangelist, who co-founded MicroStrategy and then turned it into a Bitcoin treasury company, Strategy, has published a tweet about BTC that triggered the crypto community, provoking a positive reaction.
Traditionally, Saylor has published an image of himself, but this time he was drawn by AI in an unusual outfit – a boxer. The caption to this image may also seem a trifle provocative.
“You need to fight for Bitcoin”: Michael Saylor
The AI-generated image depicts Saylor as a boxer sitting in a boxing ring, wearing orange gloves (the Bitcoin-associated color) with a sign featuring the BTC logo – a capital “B” letter with four vertical strokes.
With a bare waist, Saylor is sitting, waiting for an upcoming fight. The tweet boldly states: “Sometimes you need to fight for Bitcoin.”

This tweet was published as the world’s first cryptocurrency, Bitcoin, dropped by more than 2% today, after peaking at above $108,860 as a result of a 4% rise between Sunday and Monday. During that short period, Bitcoin added more than $4,000, and by now it has shed $2,000, changing hands at $106,480 per coin.
The community responded with numerous enthusiastic comments. Many praised Bitcoin and Saylor’s role in promoting it and also Strategy’s accumulation efforts.
