The crypto world just got a clean, quotable soundbite: Strategy executive Michael Saylor said Bitcoin can send “any amount” of money anywhere on Earth within minutes—even on a bank holiday. It landed as a market-facing message on 2026-02-17 (05:40:50Z) and immediately drew the predictable counterpunch: critics challenged the practicality behind the absolutism.
