Most Hot Crypto Discussions on X Today: Michael Saylor eulogizes Bitcoin, Tiffany Fong breaks silence, and more.

On this page

Former CEO of Microstrategy, Michael Saylor, is praising Bitcoin, again. His new “21 truths on Bitcoin” post sparked a conversation far and wide. While the usual suspects agreed with his take, others challenged him with sarcasm and “truths” of their own.

Here’s our recap of the most popular topics discussed on X today.

1. Saylor sings odes to Bitcoin

Saylor, a well-known admirer of Bitcoin, has taken to X to remind the community of what BTC, in his opinion, is. 

In a lengthy post, he put forward 21 “truths” about BTC, saying that Bitcoin is “Ideology”, “Protocol”, “Asset”, “Network”, “Immaculate”, “Ethical”, “Commodity”, “Digital commodity”, “Digital scarcity”, “Digital gold”, “Digital money”, “Perfect money”, “Legitimate”, “Corporate”, “Global”, “Immortal”, “Digital energy”, “Digital energy network”, “Digital economic system”, “Digital defense system”, “Emerging star system.”

The tweet quickly generated a wealth of responses, with one user adding three “truths” of his own: 

22. Bitcoin is a Ponzi scheme.

23. Please pump my bitcoin bags.

24. Never look up my history with being over leveraged on an asset. 

“Essentially during the dotcom crash. And history probably will repeat itself with bitcoin.”

Others were less antagonistic but still disagreed with Saylor, saying, “maybe in the future, but currently it is just a market maker manipulation tool.”

2. Kiyosaki calls out ten states that face economic challenges

Author of “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and Bitcoin bull Robert Kiyosaki has drawn attention to the ten states in the U.S. that are reportedly facing economic challenges due to population declines. 

He believes that Hawaii tops the list of states most vulnerable to economic collapse, followed by Mississippi and New Mexico. 

It also includes Alaska,  Nevada,  W. Virginia,  Louisiana,  New York, Illinois, and California.

He concluded the tweet by asking “Is this list good news or bad news for you?” while adding that he feels “for the people living in  these states.”

The reaction was mixed as many people did not understand what Kiyosaki’s “collapse” definition is. Accordingly, they could neither agree nor disagree with his statement.

3. Tiffany Fong comments on Musk

Crypto star Tiffany Fong reacted to yesterday’s claims by WSJ that Tesla CEO Elon Musk reached out to her with an offer to impregnate her, which she ultimately turned down. 

In her post on X, she clarified that she would not comment on the story’s content while acknowledging that the WSJ had reached out to her.

“For the record, I did not feed this story to WSJ (or any other outlet) and explicitly asked NOT to be included when I was contacted for comment. If you’re waiting for me to comment publicly, it won’t happen. THANKS!,” she wrote.

Commentators quickly responded to Fong, saying that “No comment is a pretty substantial comment” and “So I was right after all, he did want to launch rockets in your orbit. Lol.”

Another person suggested that if allegations were false, she’d write “that’s insane and I would never do that.”

“By not commenting u are eluding at the likely possibility that ur a Musky Baby Mama. Which would be a good choice as he needs diverse offspring,” the person wrote.

4. Dan Held believes that Bitcoin functions as a stablecoin

Bitcoin investor and commentator Dan Held suggested that Bitcoin functions as a stablecoin due to its stable protocol and monetary policy. 

In a post on X, he also suggested that “the fluctuating price represents the ebbs and flows of the world discovering Bitcoin's value.”

While a stablecoin is viewed as a digital asset usually pegged to fiat, Held believes that Bitcoin's core attributes remain stable.

Though some concurred, others lambasted Held, saying that “lol, no, it's not, and it's okay to admit it.”

The user further explained that  a “protocol” with a constantly changing hashrate and mining difficulty that's not determined exclusively by the network is not stable.”

“Monetary policy with the current dynamics of the network's are far from “stable”. Bitcoin is programmed to be deflationary for as long as possible (at least till 21 million is reached). That by itself means it'll never inherently be “stable” and actual “stablecoins” had to be invented to plug this weakness that Bitcoin was designed to never overcome. I hope this helps,” he wrote.

5. Fahrer illustrates inflation

Bitcoin bull and crypto commentator Thomas Fahrer posted an illustration of inflation.

His post on X featured a picture of U.S. dollar’s worth in 1933 compared to 2025 with a caption “If you don't believe me or don't get it, I will try to explain it to you because this is very important. Bitcoin.”

Commentators quickly understood the gist with Francesco Andreoli of Consensys responding with the succinct line “inflation.”

We had the pleasure of interviewing Andreoli so make sure to revisit the piece.
