Michael Saylor: Miért volt cégünk számára megfelelő lépés a Bitcoin bevezetése 2010 augusztusában

Egy közelmúltbeli interjúban a Daniela Cambone, Nagyszerkesztő és Anchor at Stansberry kutatás, Michael Saylor, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Nasdaq-listed business intelligence company MicroStrategy Inc. (NASDAQ: MSTR) addressed his critics.

Érdemes megjegyezni, hogy 11. augusztus 2020-én a MicroStrategy a sajtóközlemény hogy „21,454 250 bitcoint vásárolt XNUMX millió dollár összvételi áron”, hogy „elsõdleges kincstári tartalékeszközként” használhassa.

Michael Saylor (the company’s Co-Founder, Chairman, and CEO) said at the time:

"A Bitcoinba való befektetésre vonatkozó döntésünket ebben az időben részben a gazdasági és üzleti környezetet befolyásoló makrotényezők összefonódása indokolta, amely véleményünk szerint hosszú távú kockázatokat jelent vállalati treasury programunk számára – olyan kockázatokat, amelyeket proaktívan kell kezelni."

Azóta a MicroStrategy továbbra is felhalmozza a Bitcoint, és vezérigazgatója a Bitcoin egyik leghangosabb szószólója lett. A MicroStrategy legutóbbi BTC dolláros vásárlása, amelyről Saylor június 29-én tweetelt, azt jelenti, hogy a cég jelenleg körülbelül 129,699 3.98 bitcoint tárol, amelyeket „~30,664 milliárd dollárért szereztek meg, bitcoinonként ~XNUMX XNUMX dolláros átlagáron”.

During an interview with Cambone that was released on YouTube on Friday (August 12), Saylor said:

"Conventional critics and conventional mainstream analysts — they don’t get the crypto economy, they don’t understand Bitcoin, and they hate volatility. And those are the people that would tell you ‘take all your money, put it in a bank account yielding 1% interest, just don’t lose it, and don’t bother us’.

"But when we embrace the Bitcoin strategy we did, we knew that if we held our cash in a bank account, it was going to lose 20% of its purchasing power per year, and it has as predicted. The money supply expanded by 40%: single family homes in the U.s. have increased in price by 40%. If you had 500 million dollars, it would have bought you 40% less today than it would have bought you two years ago.

"So we had to do something for our shareholders at the time. And that something was buy high quality digital property. And our choice was: we could suffer a non-volatile slow death, or we could get on a bumpy lifeboat — a big orange lifeboat, the Bitcoin lifeboat — and we are going to get tossed around in the ocean, but we’re going to float and we’re going to appreciate over time.

"And when I started buying this stuff, Bitcoin was $9,000-$10,000 a coin, and we’ve just been consistently accumulating Bitcoin. We have not sold any Bitcoin. And if you’re a short time horizon person and you want to look at making a trade in the past three months or six months, just about every everything you could have bought in the world in the past six months is a losing trade if you have a short enough time frame, but if you have a two-year time frame, Bitcoin’s winning. It’s winning over four years. It’s winning over six years. It’s winning over eight years. And I just like to be in business more than two years from now. So that’s why we did it."
