Michael Saylor’s Grand Vision For Bitcoin

❝

By embracing Bitcoin, America positions itself to dominate the 21st century financially.

Traditional financial doctrines, much like old military strategies, may have once been valid but no longer apply today.

The rules that defined the past century are becoming obsolete; the game has fundamentally changed.

Michael Saylor

  • Bitcoin Bear Hug: Banks, big tech, and governments will all embrace Bitcoin, and you will be able to borrow against your bitcoin.

📺 Watch Michael talk about worldwide interest in Bitcoin from sovereign wealth funds, presenting to 150 billionaires, and the growing acceptance by the blue-chip Wall Street firms to service Bitcoin companies.
