He said:
“Therefore, money is dying, it’s obviously dying in Venezuela, and it’s obviously dying in Argentina, but it’s dying everywhere in the world, even in the United States and Western Europe.”

Michael Saylor Remains Confident In Bitcoin As ‘King Commodity’
Despite the recent slump in the cryptocurrency market, the co-founder of MicroStrategy remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s future. According to Saylor, Bitcoin’s digital and scarce nature make it the “king commodity” in the digital world, ensuring that it will ultimately emerge as the winner in the crypto race.
While the latest data from CoinGecko shows a 4.1% decline in Bitcoin’s value in just 24 hours, with a 9.6% loss in the past seven days, Saylor believes that this is just a temporary setback.
In his view, Bitcoin’s intrinsic value and unique properties set it apart from other cryptocurrencies and traditional fiat currencies, making it the ultimate store of value in the digital age.
As the world becomes increasingly digital, the demand for a secure and decentralized form of currency is growing, and Bitcoin is well-positioned to meet this need. Saylor’s unwavering confidence in Bitcoin’s long-term potential underscores the growing trend toward digital currencies and the evolving nature of finance.
