Michael Saylor <\/strong>is regarded as one of the most influential advocates of Bitcoin <\/strong>(CRYPTO: BTC<\/a>), and MicroStrategy Inc. <\/strong>(NASDAQ:MSTR<\/a>), a software firm established by him, functions more like a proxy<\/a> of the leading cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

But not many know that the Bitcoin evangelist wasn’t bullish on the asset from the get-go. In fact, the man himself has expressed surprise at some of his old takes on the cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

What happened<\/strong>: On Dec. 19, 2013, Saylor tweeted something typical of any skeptic who may come to your mind while reading this article.<\/p>\n

“Bitcoin days are numbered. It seems like just a matter of time before it suffers the same fate as online gambling,” Saylor had remarked.\u00a0<\/p>\n
