The Microstrategy CEO, Michael Saylo, in a webcast with the Hedgeye CEO, Keith McCullough last week outlined a strong bullish case for bitcoin.

It could br recalled that The Nasdaq-listed Microstrategy recently invested $425 million in bitcoin as its primary reserve asset.

As a big tech investor, Saylor advised:

The thing about technology is figuring out the thing that’s going to eat the world. If you’re right, own it, hold it, and wait.

Pointing Amazon, Google, Facebook and Apple, the CEO postulated that buying those tech stocks would pay off now, irrespective of when you bought them between 2011 and 2020. In his words:

The truth of the matter is if you’d bought Google, Apple, Amazon, or Facebook at any point between 2010 and 2020 … I think it’s impossible to have lost money at any point for the decade … your investment mistake would be trying to time the market on those things.

Lending his voice, the Microstrategy CEO added:

Bitcoin is the first software network in the history of the world that can pull monetary energy, so these bitcoiners have figured out something that is really a thing of beauty and extraordinary value. They are pulling pure monetary energy on a network.

To further bring home his point, Saylor emphasized that:

If I take $100 million and I put it into bitcoin, it could sit there for a decade like in a battery. It won’t bleed out. You’re not losing 2% to 4% a year and I can put it in the palm of my hand and I can move it around the planet for a few dollars in a few minutes and we have never in the history of the world figured that out.

It is important to note that from the years of bitcoin existence, one can confidently conclude that investing in bitcoin can never turn out to be a mistake.

Long live bitcoin. Join the celebration tomorrow,

Cryptocurrencies is known in most part of the country but without the government support it might not really be a viable means of exchange with the country of a particular region.

I totally agree to this. Rather than depreciate rapidly in value it appreciates more often. I can remember two months ago 1 BTC was about 5 million naira. Now it's over 6.3 million naira.

Only Nigerians would fully understand the magnitude of this amount of money and how much importance it means to an individual.
