Best\u2019s work garners tens of thousands of readers monthly, who rely on the information in these publications to keep up-to-date with everything happening in the crypto community.

Best also believes in leveraging the blockchain for philanthropy to create the most positive social impact. This involves work with charitable organizations focused on financial literacy and education. With each article, Best lends a voice to important issues such as a more financially inclusive future, transparent systems for growth and development, and technology that is not self-serving but one that serves all of humanity. When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky. Best\u2019s interests also span other industries such as art, finance, and security, attending seminars and conferences in not just the crypto industry but other industries as well. As an animal lover, Best is also involved with charities for animals, local shelters, and rescues. Best is also involved in local events that promote inclusivity, such as being a prominent member of hiking clubs and a cycling club, as well as being a part of a very happy group of animal lovers. Best is a true professional in every sense of the word, with an exceptional dedication to producing high-quality work. This shines through in Best's work on and off the clock. These include advocating for inclusive crypto education for all, the impact of financial illiteracy, and the benefits of adopting new technologies such as cryptocurrencies. Best\u2019s prolific career in the media industry is a testament of how hard work and dedication pays.\",\"sameAs\":[\"https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/best-owie-41a150178\/\",\"https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie\"],\"url\":\"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/author\/owiebest\/\"}]}<\/script>\n","yoast_head_json":{"title":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals","description":"Bitcoin detractor and economist Peter Schiff has taken another swipe at the digital asset and MicroStrategy, a public company that is heavily invested in","robots":{"index":"index","follow":"follow","max-snippet":"max-snippet:-1","max-image-preview":"max-image-preview:large","max-video-preview":"max-video-preview:-1"},"canonical":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/","og_locale":"en_US","og_type":"article","og_title":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals","og_description":"Bitcoin detractor and economist Peter Schiff has taken another swipe at the digital asset and MicroStrategy, a public company that is heavily invested in","og_url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/","og_site_name":"NewsBTC","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/newsbtc","article_published_time":"2022-12-21T17:00:46+00:00","article_modified_time":"2024-06-11T08:10:02+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1600,"height":800,"url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"author":"Best Owie","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie","twitter_site":"@newsbtc","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Best Owie","Est. reading time":"3 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/"},"author":{"name":"Best Owie","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/#\/schema\/person\/b236087b2f145ce081dea57a73bc356d"},"headline":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals","datePublished":"2022-12-21T17:00:46+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:10:02+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/"},"wordCount":547,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","keywords":["bitcoin","bitcoin investment","btc","Michael Saylor","Microstrategy","peter schiff"],"articleSection":["Cryptocurrency Market News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","copyrightYear":"2022","copyrightHolder":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/#organization"}},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/","url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/","name":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","datePublished":"2022-12-21T17:00:46+00:00","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:10:02+00:00","description":"Bitcoin detractor and economist Peter Schiff has taken another swipe at the digital asset and MicroStrategy, a public company that is heavily invested in","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"en-US","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","contentUrl":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","width":1600,"height":800,"caption":"microstrategy bitcoin"},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals"}]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/#website","url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/","name":"NewsBTC","description":"Bitcoin &amp;

This is because Best understands the importance of information to gaining financial freedom and believes that everyone should have access to this information. Best also believes in leveraging the blockchain for philanthropy to create the most positive social impact. This involves work with charitable organizations focused on financial literacy and education. With each article, Best lends a voice to important issues such as a more financially inclusive future, transparent systems for growth and development, and technology that is not self-serving but one that serves all of humanity. When not curating engaging content, Best can be found reading a book with a cup of hot chocolate, enjoying a Netflix series, or exploring the outdoors with Green - the world\u2019s most quiet and well-behaved Husky. Best\u2019s interests also span other industries such as art, finance, and security, attending seminars and conferences in not just the crypto industry but other industries as well. As an animal lover, Best is also involved with charities for animals, local shelters, and rescues. Best is also involved in local events that promote inclusivity, such as being a prominent member of hiking clubs and a cycling club, as well as being a part of a very happy group of animal lovers. Best is a true professional in every sense of the word, with an exceptional dedication to producing high-quality work. This shines through in Best's work on and off the clock. These include advocating for inclusive crypto education for all, the impact of financial illiteracy, and the benefits of adopting new technologies such as cryptocurrencies. Best\u2019s prolific career in the media industry is a testament of how hard work and dedication pays.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/in\/best-owie-41a150178\/","https:\/\/x.com\/https:\/\/twitter.com\/BestOwie"],"url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/author\/owiebest\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals","url":"http:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/uniquehot.com\/news\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?resize=200%2C200","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800"},"articleSection":"Cryptocurrency Market News","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Best Owie"}],"creator":["Best Owie"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"NewsBTC","logo":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32"},"keywords":["bitcoin","bitcoin investment","btc","michael saylor","microstrategy","peter schiff"],"dateCreated":"2022-12-21T17:00:46Z","datePublished":"2022-12-21T17:00:46Z","dateModified":"2024-06-11T08:10:02Z"},"rendered":"<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@type\":\"NewsArticle\",\"headline\":\"MicroStrategy Bought Bitcoin To Avoid Liquidation, Peter Schiff Reveals\",\"url\":\"http:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/news\\\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\\\/\",\"mainEntityOfPage\":{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"http:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/news\\\/microstrategy-bought-bitcoin\\\/\"},\"thumbnailUrl\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/12\\\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?resize=200%2C200\",\"image\":{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2022\\\/12\\\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800\"},\"articleSection\":\"Cryptocurrency Market News\",\"author\":[{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"name\":\"Best Owie\"}],\"creator\":[\"Best Owie\"],\"publisher\":{\"@type\":\"Organization\",\"name\":\"NewsBTC\",\"logo\":\"https:\\\/\\\/uniquehot.com\\\/wp-content\\\/uploads\\\/2020\\\/06\\\/cropped-cropped-cropped-favicon.png?w=32\"},\"keywords\":[\"bitcoin\",\"bitcoin investment\",\"btc\",\"michael saylor\",\"microstrategy\",\"peter schiff\"],\"dateCreated\":\"2022-12-21T17:00:46Z\",\"datePublished\":\"2022-12-21T17:00:46Z\",\"dateModified\":\"2024-06-11T08:10:02Z\"}<\/script>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/uniquehot.com\/p.js"},"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/microstrategy-bitcoin.jpeg?fit=1600%2C800","amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513214"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/541"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=513214"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/513214\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/513220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=513214"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=513214"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/uniquehot.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=513214"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
