Billionaire Michael Saylor Says You Now Have to Put Typos in Your Messages to Prove a Human Wrote Them: ‘If You Put Errors In It, I Believe You Typed It’

In a recent interview on Diary of a CEO, billionaire Bitcoin (BTCUSD) advocate Michael Saylor made an observation about email that has nothing to do with money and is harder to shake than most of what he said about markets. “Now when you send a message to someone, if you want to prove that it came from you, you have to actually put errors in it,” he said. “Right?
