This week, I got one of the coolest quotes I’ve seen in a long time – Jason Marquez, who claims to be a “truck driver who likes to listen to Michael Saylor on YouTube,” revealed that he benefited greatly from listening to the advice of the CEO of MicroStrategy.
According to Marquez, he invested heavily in Saylor’s Bitcoin bet, and now owns $866,000 worth of MSTR stock, at an estimated price of $46 per share – a profit of more than $750,000.

After watching the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX in 2022, Marquez says he was afraid of the market and “went into Saylor” because he considered it a safe bet. This wasn’t Marquez’s first time seeing money in crypto evaporate, and he said he was burned in a hack in 2018. After that, he did not feel safe holding any crypto, including bitcoin.
This is true for many people trying to navigate this Wild West realm. Losing money from hacks and exchange crashes is not fun, and can easily turn people off from wanting to buy and hold bitcoin on their own. I can totally see why Marquez would want to invest in a stock that is accumulating bitcoin after seeing these allegations.
Fortunately, after being very comfortable in this space, Marquez says he feels he has enough MSTR and his next move is DCA in bitcoin. I applaud him because this is a smart move to make because actually having your bitcoin keys in cold storage is the best thing to have in the end, as all fiat trends to $ 0 against bitcoin over time.
Regardless, at this point in time, Marquez will soon be a millionaire from this one trade, and he’s set up financially as a result. He put in the work to learn about Bitcoin and the power of MicroStrategy’s BTC accumulation program, created a plan of action, took his own hard-earned money to invest in stocks, and made a big profit.

This is the story of a famous bear market that will be told for years to come. It reminds of the story where the American HODL sold his car to buy more bitcoin, riding a moped until the bitcoin went up.
I refused to fix my car. I was going to screw it up with a screw driver jimmy, just so I could pack in some cheap bitcoin and fix the car later with a high bitcoin price. Marquez’s story is another great example of an everyday person taking advantage of Bitcoin’s opportunities and translating it into massive life improvements. His job earned him more money in one day than he earned driving trucks in a year. Think about that.
Thank you sir, well done. And I wish you luck now in accumulating bitcoin!
