‘Avoid the F trend with Bitcoin’
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor calls himself a Bitcoiner (Bitcoin) “optimistic” on the latest episode of Peter McCormack’s YouTube show, “What Bitcoin Did.”
Saylor also bluntly warned against any actions that could impede the progress of the leading cryptocurrency.
“Bitcoin will succeed,” Saylor he said. “It is succeeding as quickly as it could reasonably succeed, and we must try to avoid the tendency to fail with it.”
The 59-year-old billionaire, who reportedly it has more than 17,000 Bitcoin, posited that the cryptocurrency is on the cusp of widespread acceptance by nation-states, financial institutions, and institutional investors.
He also remains convinced that Bitcoin can solve global economic challenges. It’s a solid currency due to its limited supply, he says, contrasting it with conventional currencies susceptible to government-driven inflation.
It is highly unlikely that another digital asset can surpass it, according to Saylor.
“Bitcoin has matured too much…it has become too powerful to be threatened by another cryptocurrency,” says Saylor. “I think this will be a case of a rising tide that lifts all boats.”

Bitcoin: ‘Money Forever’
Saylor also claims that Bitcoin’s decentralized, censorship-resistant, and immutable attributes position it to thrive as so-called “forever money.” In his opinion, Bitcoin is a robust tool for promoting financial freedom and sovereignty.
Additionally, Saylor addressed the importance of sustaining Bitcoin’s development for its long-term viability and resilience. He emphasized the need for adequate funding mechanisms to support continued innovation, security improvements and scalability solutions within the Bitcoin network.
Saylor emphasized the collaborative efforts needed to fund development initiatives, ensuring the continued evolution of Bitcoin as a robust and sustainable financial system.
The conversation also addressed the political scenario surrounding the regulation of digital assets. Saylor noted the challenges faced by governments and regulatory bodies around the world in fighting Bitcoin’s decentralized nature. This has sparked debates about regulatory frameworks, compliance measures and the delicate balance between innovation and control.
Saylor further explored the concept of a “disguised revolution” driven by Bitcoin. He elucidated how Bitcoin’s disruptive influence on traditional financial systems is disrupting existing monetary paradigms, offering an alternative financial infrastructure that transcends borders and grants financial autonomy to individuals.
Bitcoin bull run: analysts warn investors
Bitcoin’s recent price rise has been remarkable. Its value has risen almost 13% in the last week and a half, reclaiming the $70,000 mark per BTC. This increase brought Bitcoin closer to its all-time high of US$74,000, leading market analysts and traders to reconsider their strategies.
Despite the optimistic sentiment, John Bollinger, a renowned trader and creator of the widely used Bollinger Bands, express caution regarding the immediate future of Bitcoin.
Bollinger highlighted a worrying pattern on the Bitcoin price chart, suggesting a potential pullback or consolidation phase. Specifically, he pointed out the appearance of a two-bar reversal at the top of the Bollinger Band, a signal often associated with a temporary market correction.
While Bollinger’s analysis raises short-term concerns, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. His cautious stance is based on technical indicators rather than a bearish fundamental outlook. Bollinger’s outlook reflects current market sentiment, where optimism about Bitcoin’s future growth is balanced by awareness of potential short-term volatility.
