This week I came across one of the most fascinating posts I’ve seen in a while – Jason Marquis, who says he’s “just a truck driver who likes to listen to Michael Saylor on YouTube,” revealed that he benefited greatly from listening to the MicroStrategy CEO’s advice.
According to Marquis, he invested heavily in Saylor’s bold bet on Bitcoin, and now owns $866,000 worth of MSTR stock, at an average cost of $46 per share — a profit of more than $750,000.

After watching Sam Bankman-Fried and FTX collapse in 2022, Marquis He says He got scared and exited the market and “went into Saylor” because he considered that to be the safest bet. This is not the first time Marquez has seen money in cryptocurrencies evaporate, and it has happened He said He was burned due to his hack in 2018. After that, he did not feel safe holding any digital currencies, including Bitcoin.
This is the reality for many people trying to navigate this Wild West industry. Losing money in hacks and stock market crashes is no fun, and can easily turn people away from wanting to buy and hold Bitcoin on their own. I can totally see why Marquis would prefer to invest in stocks that are heavily accumulating Bitcoin after watching these breakouts.
Fortunately, after becoming more comfortable in this space, Marquis He says He feels he has enough MSTR and his next step is to convert DCA to Bitcoin. I applaud him as this is the smart move to make because having your bitcoin keys in cold storage is ultimately the best thing to own, as all fiat currencies are heading to $0 versus bitcoin over time.
Regardless, at this time, Marquez will soon be a millionaire through this stock trading alone, and he is in a good financial position because of it. He made an effort to learn about Bitcoin and the potential of MicroStrategy’s BTC accumulation plan, implemented a business plan, took his hard-earned money to invest in stocks, and made huge profits.

This is a legendary bear market story that will be told for years to come. It is reminiscent of the story when American HODL sold his car to buy more Bitcoin, and rode a motorcycle until Bitcoin went up.
As for me, I refused to get my car repaired. I would turn it on and off with a screw driver, just so I could collect the cheap Bitcoin and fix the car later for a higher Bitcoin price. Marquez’s story is another great example of an ordinary person taking advantage of the opportunities in Bitcoin and translating that into a massive life upgrade. His business earned him more money in one day than he makes in a year driving a truck. Think about that.
Hats off to you sir, well done. Good luck now in collecting Bitcoin!
