Bloomberg Revisits Michael Saylor's Kidney-for-Bitcoin Tweet as Bitcoin's Old Promises Show Their Age

3 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 6

Bloomberg highlighted Michael Saylor's tweet urging holders to “sell a kidney if you must” to keep Bitcoin, using it to frame a column on how Bitcoin's long-running promises have aged.
The article's punchline was that Saylor appeared to mean someone else's kidney, not his own, underscoring the gap between maximalist rhetoric and personal risk.
Merryn Talks Money used the remark as a broader critique of Bitcoin evangelism, suggesting the asset's once-compelling narrative now looks dated.
