He was one of the longest reigning tech ceos from the dot com bubble onwards. Except unlike bezos he was overlooked, his company left to chug along for decades. Neither taking over the world, nor exploding in infamy. Just a solid company that existed in relative obscurity to most of the population.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">It must have bothered Michael somewhat. Because you can tell that he is just as smart and calculating as his famous peers who\u2019ve gotten all the headlines over the last 25 years. To them he\u2019s like the rest of us Bitcoiner\u2019s. A bit of a misfit.
