Of course he's a friend. I mean, for me, it's absolutely clear he has done a lot for Bitcoin and has been a fundamental piece of the whole thing.
One can be in his position and just retire and be absolutely fine. Instead there's something he felt he needed to do. And it's not just because of money. If one actually hears interviews, one gets it.
I think it's very clear there's a lot of philosophy behind nostr:nprofile1qyx8wumn8ghj7cnjvghxjmcpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqg9rg869l7t43ats5gdsqrqh6njn5wjf0jpe0unvpekkredvllr6nqwfmhjz . He's been in Objectivist (Ayn Rand) meetings, he has talked a lot about the free market, the problems of the current system, the Covid reaction, etc, etc. He gets the whole thing perfectly at a very fundamental philosophical level and sees the end goal, he's just trying to shift the world in that direction and from the position he's in. The thing people don't get is that it's all gradual and one has to be very smart about everything. You simply can't move from the extremely centralized world we have to the decentralized paradise that many dream. He's helping build the transition, like many others.
In my view Michael Saylor has been fundamental for Bitcoin. And many others will follow his footsteps. But yeah, everybody is free to have their opinion obviously :)
