Saylor joined TIME on March 16 for a video conversation about his efforts to persuade large corporations to add Bitcoin to their financial toolboxes.
Beyond Bitcoin it's also about his conversation with Musk on Twitter. It's important to note Saylor cleverly escapes questions regarding Tesla and Musk.
On Bitcoin his views are revolutionary as far as Balance sheets of companies are concerned. Beyond that he also smartly links Bitcoin with the invention of electricity but the revolutionary change not understood by all in earlier times.
I just think it’s a paradigm shift, so you can’t blame smart people. They’re all smart, and they were all successful. But if you go back and you look at electricity, not every smart, successful person immediately understood the implications of electricity in the first 24 months after they heard of it.
And when asked Is Bitcoin not a textbook example of irrational exuberance? He clarifies...
I’ve got to find a store of value. If you’re looking for an example of real speculation, it would be people speculating upon whether they can squeeze others in a short squeeze and a small stock, like GameStop. Bitcoin is not speculation, O.K.? Bitcoin is a unique new technology, it’s like the Facebook of money or the Google of money. And it grew from nothing to a trillion dollars in monetary value in 12 years.
What ya'll think about him now? IMO These are the kind of talks that made him a Bitcoin Messiah on Bitcoin Twitter. Perhaps he's one but issues like not making the Strategy Bitcoin Holdings public makes me skeptical about his words.
