Michael Saylor, co-founder and executive chairman of MicroStrategy, has announced his intention to leave his fortune to humanity. He views Bitcoin as a key component of the future economy.

Vision for Bitcoin's Future

In an interview with The New Zealand Herald, Saylor equated Bitcoin with inventions like electricity and steel. He believes Bitcoin has the potential to transform humanity, planning to leave his wealth to civilization as Satoshi Nakamoto left a million Bitcoins.

Bitcoin's Role in Economy and Its Advantages

Saylor described Bitcoin as 'clean, silent, programmable, immortal money,' emphasizing its ability to retain value over time unlike traditional currencies. He highlighted Bitcoin's importance for preserving wealth and its role as a source of 'economic energy'.

Criticism of Crypto-Anarchists and MicroStrategy's Strategy

Saylor criticized 'paranoid crypto-anarchists,' stating that the risk of Bitcoin seizure is overstated. He suggests using regulated companies like BlackRock and Fidelity for safer Bitcoin storage. Under his leadership, MicroStrategy has acquired 252,200 Bitcoins, aiming to become a 'Bitcoin bank'.

Michael Saylor sees Bitcoin not just as a financial asset but as a transformative force for the economy and society. While receiving support, his critical view of crypto-anarchists and strategic vision for MicroStrategy also spark debates.
