Eric Semler followed @Michael Saylor's footsteps and upgraded $SMLR Scientific to the #Bitcoin standard. The company now holds 1,273 Bitcoin and its stock has soared. Really enjoyed this conversation and Eric’s perspective on what is holding most companies back.

This is the most comprehensive interview I have done with @Michael Saylor - we discuss the future of Bitcoin and other digital assets (he calls it the Crypto Renaissance), the impact of the election’s Red Wave, the success of $MSTR, and a fascinating lightning round you don’t want to miss:
