MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor Explains Why He Thinks Bitcoin (BTC) Will Go up Forever

“And so Bitcoin, measured in currencies of the world and in currency derivatives, it’s just going to keep going up, with volatility, albeit…

“Gold is not fixed. Gold is increasing in supply at 2% a year in the physical regime. Bankers can rehypothecate gold and they can print 100 ounces of paper gold for every real ounce of gold.
