Excellent
The guy is the FGOAT
If you ( pee ons ) don't see it your going to be so broke the worst part of africa will look like paradise there finishing slowly what Biden started choke point 2.0.. Now starts 3.0 the (ENDE)
Bit coin maxie is going to be butthurt when the government uses a better crypto for the financial sector
Michael is actually a very cute autistic guy
Is she the dumbest interviewer ever?
my mind is blown away by this interview. Incredible
No……no……..lol
great life advice
I have learned a lot from the second half of this interview! Thank you for your work.
Indeed. Very smart move. If they had 10% inflation over a few years, they’d loose $400,000,000 in buying power. Now they might experience a new level of prosperity and perpetual financial security for the company. They could go from $4 billion in reserves to… insert multiple.
Can a scam roll that big? Maybe but ai doubt it…
Awesome video! Despite all the ups and downs, I’ve always been confident in crypto’s and Stocks' long-term potential. Earlier this year, I made over $210K in profit from Ethereum and reinvested when the price dropped. Having a financial advisor like chris mendez has helped me stay on track and make smart moves for the future!
Good lord this woman was itching to squeeze some shit coining in there.
With Trump and Elon endorsing crypto, I think BTC and ETH are more likely to retest resistance and then head higher. But as always, things change day by day and all we can do is act responsibly, monitor the markets and reassess our strategies frequently. I would like to thank @TradewithRonaldJ trade community for being my source of crypto education as I comfortably earned 12.7 BTC.
Saylor is a really bad shareholder protector. He hates us!
Tokenisation is the future. Speed of light? $KASPA, of course.

200 trillion cap will make bitcoin approx 8-10 million
10 Bitcoins would provide for my family for life and Michael wants to burn everything…
Michael在这方面和巴菲特很一致，很坦诚的强调价值投资，说短期期权开杠杠可能不是和自己利益一致的，毕竟价值投资同时又要服务普通股的持有者最好的方法就是继续价值投资。不断的通过溢价买入BTC， 促成BTC慢慢的从资本的白矮星成为中子心，最后成为黑洞。在BTC成为的这个过程中，又可以反哺价值给微策略，产生溢价，真的很完美。唯一的系统性风险就是BTC归零，但这种风险只对于持有微策略的股东有风险。但从风险回报比来说，BTC归零的概率非常非常低。
Bitcoin's future as digital capital is indeed transformational. However, the real estate market, particularly in emerging hotspots like Turkey, provides a tangible asset class with substantial growth potential. Turkey's strategic location, economic reforms, and booming tourism are driving unprecedented real estate demand. For investors seeking diversification beyond digital assets, Turkish property offers stability, strong returns, and resilience against economic fluctuations. The global trend toward digital assets, as highlighted, shows the need for diversified portfolios integrating both traditional and digital investments. This dual approach maximizes potential returns while minimizing risks associated with putting all your eggs in one basket. Real estate, especially in high-growth regions, complements the volatility and speculative nature of cryptocurrencies. Turkey offers an attractive destination for such balanced investment strategies. Let’s explore how you can strategically position yourself in both worlds for maximum upside. Ready to discuss how to effectively balance your portfolio with high-growth Turkish real estate alongside digital assets? Let's connect!
Seek ye first the kingdom of God. Then HODL all you can. What shall profit a man if BTC goes to $13 -$40 million, yet you lose your soul. Repent and trust Jesus.
Check out the historical proof, archaeological proof, and eye witnesses account regarding Jesus. I implore you!
Me and my son are BTC HODLER since 2017..

Saylor is our satoshi
Amazing interview. The ads are getting SO BAD on YouTube.
If a person has a hard time looking into your eyes DON"T trust him
Ethereum with 5,800 nodes is totally decentralized. Saylor just wants the government to force a monopoly for crypto instead of letting the free market decide.
This is an absolute master class.
Every person in the United States makes 1 transaction using bitcoin. It would take a year and a half to process.
What’s with all the trash adds in the middle
When was this recorded?
The interviewer was terrible and often awkward. Michael Saylor is a Bitcoin savant and is such a pleasure to listen to. Thank you Michael for another great interview and for sharing your incredible insight.
The idea of Bitcoin's "final cycle" is intriguing, especially with the potential for mass adoption and halving-driven growth. As a stock market investor, I’m curious about how BTC might compare to traditional assets during economic uncertainty. With inflation and interest rates reshaping markets, diversification into crypto could be a smart hedge—but timing and understanding adoption trends seem crucial.
Wow…..What a genius and truly no one on the planet could have answered the last question better than Saylor
Because of Bitcoin!and that’s it right!
saylor all the way
eth market cap is like 7% of btc so saying none of em are 1% of bitcoin is false. xrp has been trailing it in number of buyers. i would argue there are multiple second bests. bitcoin is and will remain top dawg but being this hard a fan boy is obviously trying to harm others for ur gain.
Weak interviewer and clueless about Saylor. How he keeps his cool with this mutton head is beyond me.
Uniswap ads in the middle of a bitcoin podcast? Come on, do better.
Wow, at the end he smiles!
