It is worth noting that online betting has remained in place since the tweet was published. Silver said of his anti-bitcoin tweet in 2013:
I am very ashamed of what I said. Before I announced the purchase of $ 250 million in Bitcoin on Twitter, I did not know that I had published such a tweet before.

Silver said he was very interested in Twitter in 2013 and often tweeted his thoughts on anything related to the time. In the years that followed, he decided to tweet more strategically and more about aspects of MicroStrategy, although his 2013 tweet about his pessimism and frustration with Bitcoin remained on Twitter. According to new news, MicroStrategy has increased its bitcoin assets even more and now has 38,250 BTC. Shares of the company (MSTR) have risen 9% since the recent acquisition of Bitcoin.
