Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin could hit $8 million per coin in his BTC Prague keynote, outlining 21 rules for understanding and investing in BTC.
Michael Saylor, executive chairman of MicroStrategy, enthralled guests at the BTC Prague conference today with a keynote speech in which he forecasted a sharp increase in the price of BTC, speculating that it may hit $8 million per coin. This claim was made as a part of his more extensive speech on the “21 Rules of Holding Bitcoin,” which describes methods for maintaining and managing investments in a highly erratic market.
During his speech, Saylor provided a theoretical and practical framework for comprehending and investing in BTC. According to Luke Broyles via X, he positioned cryptocurrency as a financial asset and a revolutionary tool capable of transforming global financial norms.
1. As he introduced his talk on the divide between supporters and detractors of BTC, Saylor said, “Those who understand buy BTC, those who don’t criticize Bitcoin.” According to him, realizing the potential of BTC is like witnessing a paradigm shift before it materializes.
2. Saylor reflected on his original contemptuous stance in 2013 and described how his perspective changed as the resiliency and potential of BTC became more apparent. His route from skepticism to advocacy is typical for investors, who frequently go from uncertainty to emotional support.
3. You will never finish learning about Bitcoin,” Saylor said, highlighting the cryptocurrency’s intricacy and dynamic nature. He argued that BTC is a topic that will always be interesting to research because of its connections to international economics, technology, and legal frameworks.
4. By highlighting historical connections, Saylor demonstrated the worth of BTC as a non-geopolitical, reliable repository of wealth by highlighting pivotal events like World War II and the advent of communism in Europe. He said, “Buy BTC because entropy is guaranteed,” implying that Bitcoin offers a refuge during chaotic times.
5. Saylor sees established financial systems as fundamentally biased against ordinary people, whereas BTC provides an equitable opportunity. He described BTC as a remarkably transparent and equitable financial tool: “Bitcoin is the only game in the casino that we can all win.”
6. He said, “Bitcoin won’t protect you if you don’t wear the armor,” and suggested investing proactively. This comparison was made to promote significant, deliberate BTC investment to secure one’s financial future.
7. Saylor vehemently asserted that BTC permits ownership unaffected by outside parties, saying, “Your wealth is the cryptography keys in your head.” He said this represents a fundamental departure from how assets have always been managed and safeguarded.
8. Saylor offered a personal story about how he rejected BTC at $892 and only felt justified in purchasing it at $9,500 when he looked back on the volatility and growth trajectory of the cryptocurrency. “Bitcoin is available to everyone at the price they deserve,” he said. Then he remarked, “People will try to wait for BTC to crash to $700,000 when it reaches $950,000.” Then BTC would reach $8,000,000, according to Broyles.
9. Saylor highlighted the prudent approach to embracing new financial technologies by advising that one can afford to lose by investing money. This rule emphasizes striking a balance between prudent financial management and imaginative investing.
10. Saylor promoted BTC as a way to get outside established financial systems, referring to fiat money and conventional economic indicators as “the matrix.” In his view, it is more than just a technology; it is a release from the constrictive narratives that conventional economic systems impose.
11. Saylor offered firsthand knowledge of events in which BTC significantly impacted the financial health of his organization. He revealed, “MSTR would have failed without BTC,” demonstrating the immediate effect of wise Bitcoin investments on business financing.
12. Saylor expressed his confidence in Bitcoin’s steady growth by projecting a cautious 24% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the ensuing ten years, which might serve as a benchmark for valuation. Notably, by 2034, this would value Bitcoin at $600,000.
13. Saylor viewed Bitcoin as a solution to the innate problems with the current economic system, seeing it as defective. “The orange pill is the cure to economic illness,” he declared, touting it as a ground-breaking innovation that drastically overhauls antiquated economic methods.
14. Saylor advocated for a positive strategy, saying, “Be for Bitcoin, not against fiat,” stressing the significance of creating a new system instead of antagonizing the deteriorating old one.
15. Saylor asserts that “Bitcoin is for everybody.” According to his predictions, digital capital like Bitcoin would eventually account for half of all value in an unimagined future global economy, which would sharply increase its price.
16. Saylor advised on how to “learn to think in Bitcoin,” urging people to change their viewpoint and see new ideas and paradigms through the prism of BTC instead of attempting to fit them into antiquated frameworks.
17. “Bitcoin changes you; you don’t change it.” Saylor emphasized how BTC forces people to reconsider how they view money, value, and investment in a global context.
18. “You are shielded from unending lies by laser eyes.” Saylor emphasized the significance of concentrating on the long-term potential, particularly when its market price hits significant milestones like $1 million or $100,000. In his ideal world, the market capitalization of Bitcoin would rise to $500 trillion or more.
19. “Respect Bitcoin, or it will make a clown out of you,” he warned. This regulation served as a cautionary tale about the dangers of misjudging the significance of Bitcoin and the folly of making fun of a fledgling financial system with solid support and stability.
20. “You don’t sell your bitcoin,” says Saylor, who compares the selling of bitcoin to self-defeating, arguing that it is a fundamental asset for long-term financial security, akin to a winter fire or a life raft in the seas.
21. Saylor ended by urging people to “spread Bitcoin with love.” He emphasized the value of being patient and courteous when promoting BTC, especially with people who are initially doubtful or dismissive of its advantages.
Saylor offered a guide for comprehending and investing in BTC as well as for joining a more significant movement that has the potential to alter the world economy entirely through these 21 rules.
