Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has become one of the few Bitcoin maximalists to publicly embrace Ordinals. Ordinal inscriptions are similar to NFTs and allow for arbitrary and non-financial information, such as images, to be included on the Bitcoin blockchain.

According to Michael Saylor, the ongoing banking crisis is driving smart money towards Bitcoin as a safe haven. The loss of confidence in traditional currencies and banks is making commodity monies like gold and Bitcoin more appealing. Saylor explains that when individuals and institutions lose confidence in fiat currencies and banks, they begin considering alternative forms of money known as commodity monies. Bitcoin stands out as a superior form of commodity money when compared to traditional options like gold due to its digital nature, portability, scalability, and scarcity. As the world experiences the challenges of the current financial system, Bitcoin’s position as the apex commodity money continues to strengthen, attracting the attention of individuals and institutions alike.

As the global economy recovers from the pandemic, inflation concerns are increasing, leading governments and central banks worldwide to consider hiking interest rates to maintain economic stability. In an interview with financial journalist David Lin, Microstrategy co-founder Michael Saylor discussed various topics, including Bitcoin, inflation, and the future of money. Saylor argued that the recent "avalanche of currency failures" highlights the death of money, including the US Dollar, due to high levels of monetary inflation. He also emphasized that Bitcoin is the "king commodity" due to its digital and scarce nature, making it more effective than other forms of commodity money.

Microstrategy founder Michael Saylor has suggested that people living in inflation-stricken Argentina should consider using Bitcoin as an alternative to the faltering local currency. Critics have argued that Bitcoin's volatility makes it an unsuitable alternative. Some Argentinian politicians favour replacing the peso with the US dollar to tackle inflation, which officially stood at 103.4% in March. Yet, despite this apparent widespread support for dollarisation in Argentina, supporters of Bitcoin have voiced their support for Saylor's call on residents to choose the cryptocurrency instead. Dollarising the Argentinian economy would result in the country’s central bank becoming subservient to the policies of the US Federal Reserve and losing seigniorage. (Bitcoin.com)

Michael Saylor, the co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, recently emphasized the importance of Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation and financial instability for Argentinians facing a challenging economic climate. Argentina is struggling with soaring inflation rates, which have led to an erosion of salaries and spending power, with nearly 40% of the population living in poverty.

Don’t Be Surprised When Price Begins Increasing With Lightning Speed

Billionaire Michael Saylor's recent purchase of $150 million worth of Bitcoin has sparked discussion on the future trajectory of the cryptocurrency's price and its implications for investors and the market. Bitcoin has seen significant value appreciation within the past month, driven in part by diminishing trust in conventional banking institutions amid the US financial crisis.
