“Don’t Do That”: MicroStrategy’s Saylor Issues Crucial Warning

by

As a seasoned researcher with years of observing and analyzing market trends, I find myself deeply resonating with the wisdom shared by Michael Saylor, the enigmatic CEO of MicroStrategy. His words serve as a stark reminder of the risks and rewards inherent in the world of Bitcoin trading.

During a recent appearance on the “Onramp Media” investment podcast, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor warned Bitcoiners against leveraged trading.  

Using high leverage like 10 times can be risky. If Bitcoin drops significantly while you’re asleep, your position may be liquidated without warning, resulting in a total loss. Such actions are imprudent; avoid taking on such risks unnecessarily.

At the same time, the billionaire has pitched the company’s debt-for-Bitcoin strategy: 

“He stated that it’s smart to set up a company to invest in Bitcoin by either securing equity or debt financing. And if you can secure loans at an interest rate of 4%, then that’s really shrewd.

If you have savings or investments that you’re willing to keep for over four years, Saylor advises considering Bitcoin as an option, essentially setting it aside and forgetting about it. Similarly, if you have loans that won’t need repayment within four years, the same advice applies. However, leveraging short-term loans to gamble on Bitcoin isn’t considered a safe strategy by MicroStrategy’s co-founder.

“Nothing stops this train” 

The former MicroStrategy CEO has also stated that there is no second-best idea since there is Bitcoin. 

As an analyst, I firmly believe that if we remain humble in the presence of Satoshi Nakamoto’s groundbreaking work on digital capital, and recognize its immense potential for growth, then it is clear that this innovative concept will escalate from a trillion to $10 trillion, $20 trillion, $40 trillion, $80 trillion, and potentially even reach $160 trillion. This trajectory, as I’ve observed, appears unstoppable.

He views Bitcoin as a “universal merger partner” that could potentially revitalize plenty of “zombie companies” that are sitting at the bottom of Russell 2000.
