Estados Unidos podría repetir su prohibición de la propiedad de oro de 1930, pero para Bitcoin.

A medida que la corrección de Bitcoin se profundiza, el miedo, la incertidumbre y la duda han regresado, y el administrador de fondos de cobertura multimillonario Ray Dalio agregó mucho más

En una entrevista con el editor en jefe de Yahoo Finance el 24 de marzo, el fundador del fondo de cobertura de $ 150 mil millones Bridgewater Associates declaró que existe una „buena probabilidad“ de que el gobierno de los Estados Unidos pueda prohibir Ethereum Code tal como lo hizo con la propiedad de oro en el 1930.

Eso sucedió porque los líderes del gobierno en ese momento no querían que el oro compitiera con el dinero fiduciario y el crédito como reserva de riqueza, agregó Dalio.

“No quieren que otros fondos estén operando o compitiendo porque las cosas pueden salirse de control. Por tanto, creo que es muy probable que, en determinadas circunstancias, se proscriba de la misma forma en que se prohibió el oro „.

El multimillonario administrador de fondos de cobertura y filántropo, que llamó a Bitcoin „un invento increíble“ y lo comparó con el oro en enero , señaló que el gobierno de la India ya está tratando de prohibir Bitcoin y el comercio de criptomonedas en general. Agregó que no es un experto, pero afirmó que se puede rastrear y el gobierno puede averiguar quién lo está tratando.

Sin embargo, hubo un poco de luz al final de la sombría perspectiva de Dalio cuando reconoció que BTC ha resistido la prueba del tiempo como clase de activo

“Bitcoin ha demostrado su eficacia durante los últimos 10 años, no ha sido pirateado. En general, por lo tanto, se trabajó sobre una base operativa. Ha conseguido un gran número de seguidores. Es una alternativa, en cierto sentido, reserva de riqueza. Es como un dinero en efectivo digital. Y esas son las ventajas „.

El 16 de marzo, Dalio declaró que el gobierno de EE. UU. Podría apuntar a aquellos que abandonan el dólar por Bitcoin, ya que se vuelve „inhóspito para el capitalismo“ en preparación para cambios fiscales „impactantes“ para abordar la crisis de la deuda nacional.

Los comentarios se producen cuando la corrección de Bitcoin continúa profundizándose a medida que han surgido señales de que el mercado alcista está entrando en sus últimas etapas en la cadena . BTC se ha corregido en un 13,5% desde su máximo histórico de $ 60,100 a los precios actuales de alrededor de $ 52,000.

Ethereum, Stellar and Uniswap move north in lockstep

The three analysed altcoins Ethereum (ETH), Stellar (XLM) as well as the DeFi project Uniswap (UNI) impressively show the bullish sentiment on the entire crypto market. However, the futures on Bitcoin (BTC) expiring today should also lead to larger movements in the altcoins.

• Ethereum (ETH): Another attack on the all-time high is imminent
• Price (ETH): 1,425 US dollars (USD) (previous week: 1,214 USD)
• Resistances/targets: 1,420 USD, 1,482 USD, 1,591 USD, 2,057 USD, 2,811 USD, 3,565 USD
• Supports: 1,228 USD, 1,042 USD, 922 USD, 837 USD, 747 USD, 675 USD, 624 USD

 

The Ether price is benefiting from two developments these days. In addition to the price breakout of Bitcoin (BTC), currently fuelled by a tweet from Elon Musk, investor interest in DeFi projects continues by Bitcoin Lifestyle to be a reason for the rise. The moving average EMA20 (red) again acted as a good support in recent trading days and increases the chances of a renewed breakout attempt above the all-time high at USD 1,482.

Bullish variant (Ethereum)

Ethereum continues to be bullish as already mentioned in the last analysis. Yesterday, Thursday 28 January, the EMA20 (red) once again acted as a springboard for a rise towards the north. As long as this moving support is used again and again for new buying, an attack on the all-time high at USD 1,482 can be firmly planned. If Ethereum can dynamically jump above this resistance level in the next few trading days, the price should immediately push through to the 200 Fibonacci extension at USD 1,591. In order to attack higher price targets in the medium term, a retest of the area around USD 1,425 is to be advocated starting from this level. Whether a direct march above USD 1,591 or a consistency test of the breakout level is carried out should crystallise in the following. A breach of the USD 1,591 level on a daily basis will lead the Ether price directly towards the 261 Fibonacci extension at USD 2,057.

However, initial profit-taking at this resistance level cannot be ruled out. If the ether price also sustainably surpasses this resistance, a further price increase of 35 per cent to the 361 Fibonacci extension at USD 2,811 is conceivable. If the overall market moves upwards and the price rally does not come to an abrupt end, a march through to USD 3,277 and a maximum of USD 3,565 is realistic in the coming months. From a chart perspective, these two resistance levels are the next important price targets. From the current price level at USD 1,425, this corresponds to a price increase of 150 percentage points. If investors manage to break through these resistance levels with sustained interest, the Ether price could already march through to the 561 Fibonacci extension at USD 4,319 and at most to the 661 Fibonacci extension at USD 5,073 in the first half of 2021. Whether and how quickly these marks will be reached in 2021 is still written in the stars, but it is very conceivable.

Bearish variant (Ethereum)

At present, another price collapse is rather unlikely, as the interest in the second-largest cryptocurrency is too great. However, if there is a correction in the Ether price, the bulls can be expected to put up more resistance at USD 1,228. The cross support of the EMA20 and the green upward trend line represents a solid support. If bears still manage to break through this price level dynamically, a correction in the direction of the previous week’s low at USD 1,042 is conceivable. If the low at USD 1,042 is also undercut with a vengeance, this would be a first break in the trend that should not be underestimated and could lead to further price declines. As a result, the ether price will fall back to 922 USD. This is the super-trend in the daily chart, which will once again be difficult to break.

The global economic crisis brought on by the pandemic has opened up failures in supply chain risk management, but technologies such as blockchain may be the solution.

More blockchain, please: 40% of executives say they ‚couldn’t handle‘ supply chains in the crisisNOTHINGS

 

A survey of 320 executives from companies in different segments in 18 countries revealed that 40% of professionals „could not handle“ their supply chains during the height of the current economic crisis, according to the CIO from IDG website.

Platform that uses blockchain technology to ‚trade energy‘ will be tested in Brazil
In addition to supply chain problems, Orange Business Services‘ „Real-time Intelligence and the Future of Supply Chains“ survey also showed that more than 80% of respondents „are more aware of possible production stoppages, logistical bottlenecks and material shortages,“ mainly due to the impacts of the current pandemic.

The survey focused on the manufacturing, transportation and logistics sectors, revealing a radical change in executive awareness, which today stands at 83% among those who do not despise current risks in supply chains.

To deal with the problems and frustration of seeing their operations paralyzed, executives are seeking more speed, agility and innovation, seeking to bring more resilience and sustainability through disruptive technologies.

Digitization and real-time decision-making have become essential to the survival of many of the companies heard, the study says. As a result, eight out of ten executives acted to accelerate the digitization of supply chains with technologies such as blockchain, 5G, artificial intelligence, cloud and big data analytics.

Almost 50% of companies today are reviewing and revising their risk management strategies for the next two years. Automation, the report notes, is also expected to gain traction and double the number of companies seeking to cope with rapid changes in demand through technology.

Kristof Symons, International Executive Vice President of Orange Business Services, says in the report:

„The global health emergency has made organizations accept the fragility of their ecosystems. Critical gaps must be filled to ensure end-to-end visibility on a global scale and minimize risk to business. Digital technologies and resources are the key to enabling companies and their partners to safely reinvent their supply chain. Digitization and data collection will also be the key enablers to become more sustainable and save costs as well as the planet“.

Adoption of blockchain and high technology by notaries will boost agribusiness in Brazil, says Ministry of Agriculture
The survey was conducted between August and October 2020 with leaders from 320 companies. The study also concludes that if corporations can implement their risk management plan based on disruptive technologies, digital sustainability management programs should become „near universal in two years.

Ao longo dos anos, a aquisição da Bitcoin entre as empresas de investimento tornou-se uma prática comum, mas o setor parece estar se expandindo à medida que as universidades estão agora garantindo seu lugar no mercado de Bitcoin.

Seus ativos de Bitcoin ao longo do último ano

De acordo com a Coindesk, fontes conscientes desta atividade revelaram que as principais instituições dos Estados Unidos têm aumentado discretamente seus ativos de Bitcoin Future ao longo do último ano.

Estas não são instituições quaisquer; na verdade, estas são algumas das universidades com os maiores fundos de doações dos Estados Unidos. Harvard (mais de US$ 40 bilhões), Yale (mais de US$ 30 bilhões) e Brown (US$ 4,7 bilhões) são três das oito faculdades da Ivy League no país que dizem fazer parte da lista.

A respeitável Universidade de Michigan (US$ 12,5 bilhões) também está seguindo as pegadas das Ivies. Aparentemente, a Coinbase tem sido o intermediário que facilita as transações. Foi revelado que estas instituições têm comprado diretamente da bolsa Coinbase.

O porta-voz que pediu para ser anônimo disse à Coindesk que atualmente há um número considerável de instituições despejando fundos em ativos criptográficos. „Há um bom número delas. Muitas doações estão alocando um pouco para a criptografia no momento“.

Mas o interesse em moedas criptográficas começou em 2019

Mas o interesse em moedas criptográficas começou em 2019 e especula-se que a Coinbase tenha mantido os fundos para as instituições por até 18 meses, de acordo com a fonte, que observa que tais instituições estão provavelmente obtendo um retorno decente sobre o investimento e poderiam possivelmente tornar públicas suas aquisições da Bitcoin este ano. A fonte é citada dizendo;

„Pode ser desde meados de 2019. A maioria já foi em pelo menos um ano. Eu pensaria que eles provavelmente irão discutir isso publicamente em algum momento deste ano. Suspeito que eles estariam sentados em alguns belos pedaços de retorno“.

Outra fonte, que faz parte da indústria de fundos de hedge, afirmou que os planos de pensão públicos começarão a ser alocados em breve nos próximos meses.

„Estamos vendo planos de pensão de benefício definido chegando perto de fazer alocações. Estamos vendo os planos de pensão públicos se aproximando de fazer alocações“.

Ari Paul, o cofundador da BlockTower Capital, disse: „Se eu tivesse ouvido isso três anos atrás, eu teria dito que estava errado“.

„Mas muitas instituições estão agora confortáveis com Bitcoin. Elas o entendem e podem simplesmente comprá-lo diretamente, desde que seja de uma entidade regulamentada como Coinbase, Fidelity ou Anchorage“.

Avec 28%, le prix de la BTC de ce week-end était nettement moyen par rapport aux sommets historiques de la cryptocouronne en 2017.

Le bitcoin (BTC) a peut-être chuté de 28 % ces derniers jours, mais les analystes ont déjà mis en perspective l’ampleur des pertes.

Comme l’a noté le 12 janvier Nathaniel Whittemore, présentateur du podcast The Breakdown, la période 2016-2017 a connu à elle seule un grand total de six corrections plus importantes que le retrait de cette semaine.
La correction des prix de la CTB s’étend jusqu’en 2017

L’année 2017 est connue des acteurs du marché comme étant une année record pour l’action sur les prix. En plus de ses gains annuels de 1 000 %, Bitcoin Method a dû faire face à de nombreux obstacles pour atteindre son plus haut niveau historique de près de 20 000 $.

„Fait amusant : #bitcoin a connu 6 reculs plus importants que notre récent -28% dans l’année record de croissance de plus de 1000% de 2017“, a commenté M. Whittemore, citant un graphique avec des données de Travis Kling, PDG du gestionnaire d’actifs crypto Ikigai.

Corrections de la BTC/USD en 2016 et 2017.

Alors que la BTC/USD est passée d’un nouveau record de 42 000 dollars à un peu plus de 30 000 dollars, les critiques habituelles de la volatilité de Bitcoin, émanant de sources financières classiques et d’autres critiques, sont revenues. Un rebond ultérieur à 36 700 $, lui-même d’une rapidité record, a à son tour attiré des plaintes pour manipulation du marché.

Les affaires comme d’habitude pour les hodleurs

Pour les investisseurs à long terme, cependant, les événements ne sont pas nouveaux, puisqu’ils font écho au comportement de surface observé lors d’autres courses de taureaux.

„Au cours des cycles précédents, il a fallu entre un jour et un peu plus d’un mois pour que les tirages de #Bitcoin dans la fourchette de 20 à 40 % trouvent un fond“, a résumé lundi le service d’analyse Ecoinometrics avec ses propres graphiques comparatifs.

„Si vous attendiez le creux, alors c’est l’occasion d’accumuler pendant que vous le pouvez“.

Données comparatives sur la baisse des prix des bitcoins.

Ecoinometrics a néanmoins noté qu’historiquement, seulement environ 15% du total des corrections de prix de Bitcoin ont dépassé la baisse de 42 000 $.

Les chiffres populaires de l’industrie ont entre-temps réitéré que les niveaux de prix plus bas ne représentaient guère plus qu’une opportunité d’achat pour les investisseurs zélés.

„Il est difficile de croire que Bitcoin a augmenté de 10 % depuis le début de l’année 2021, ce matin, à 32 000 dollars. Mais c’est comme ça que ça marche. Si vous ne pouvez pas gérer la volatilité folle, alors gérez cette préoccupation avec la taille de votre position. Je considère l’opération de ce matin comme une grande opportunité d’achat“, a commenté Preston Pysh, co-fondateur de The Investor’s Podcast Network.

„O tecido da sociedade está desgastado“, disse o ex-executivo do Facebook.

O preço do Bitcoin (BTC) aumentou drasticamente nos últimos dias e semanas, recentemente ultrapassando os 40.000 dólares. A Bitcoin é um ativo largamente desvinculado da autoridade governamental, e de acordo com o capitalista de risco e bilionário Chamath Palihapitiya, a Bitcoin Trader é uma garantia contra a incerteza global.

Citando um possível horizonte temporal de cinco ou dez anos, Palihapitiya disse que acha que o Bitcoin provavelmente chegará a 200.000 dólares em algum momento.

„A razão é porque, sempre que você vê tudo isso acontecendo, ele apenas lembra que uau nossos líderes não são tão confiáveis e confiáveis como costumavam ser“, disse ele à CNBC em uma entrevista na quinta-feira. Ele acrescentou:

„Portanto, por via das dúvidas, precisamos realmente de algum tipo de seguro que possamos manter sob nosso travesseiro que nos dê algum acesso a uma sebe não correlata“.

Desde que a pandemia atingiu o mundo em 2020, governos de todo o mundo tomaram várias medidas para combater seu impacto econômico. Os Estados Unidos, em particular, imprimiram e gastaram enormes somas de dólares.

Sem fronteiras e administrada pelo povo, a Bitcoin permite que os detentores controlem seus fundos por si mesmos – sem necessidade de uma autoridade centralizada. Além disso, em outubro de 2020, a Fidelity divulgou um relatório mostrando a falta de correlação de preços da Bitcoin com outros mercados, tais como ouro e ações.

„Vai eventualmente fazer a transição para algo muito mais importante, mas por enquanto, você está apenas recebendo todos esses pontos de dados que comprovam isso“, disse Palihapitiya sobre o Bitcoin, acrescentando:

„O tecido da sociedade está desgastado, e até descobrirmos como melhorá-lo, é hora de ter apenas um pequeno seguro idiota à parte, e todos estão correndo para dentro“. É uma coisa incrível“. Eu nunca poderia imaginar“.

A Crypto tem visto uma quantidade notável de adoção desde o início de 2020, incluindo grandes jogadores ganhando interesse no BTC. Algumas figuras financeiras influentes, no entanto, como Kevin O’Leary, do Shark Tank, ainda permanecem céticos em relação ao Bitcoin, citando a regulamentação como uma questão potencial.

A U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission classificou anteriormente a Bitcoin como uma mercadoria, embora ações recentes mostrem um aumento na regulamentação do espaço criptográfico, em parte evidente em uma proposta governamental que limita as carteiras de ativos digitais de auto-custódia.

El 8 de enero de 2020, Hive Blockchain Technologies Ltd., una empresa de minería de criptomonedas que cotiza en bolsa, superó los mil millones de dólares en valor de mercado en medio de un mercado de criptomonedas resurgente .

Hive, que produce monedas digitales recién acuñadas como BTC y ETH, ha visto explotar sus acciones en los últimos meses en medio del repunte parabólico de bitcoin. Las acciones de la startup minera con sede en Vancouver se dispararon más del 2.500% en 2020.

Hive sirve como un enlace desde la industria de la cadena de bloques a los mercados de capital tradicionales y ha brindado a los accionistas exposición constante a los márgenes operativos de la criptominería.

El valor de mercado de la minera ahora ha alcanzado los $ 1,170 millones , con 345 millones de acciones en circulación. Este crecimiento se debe a la creciente demanda de criptografía a medida que la economía mundial tiene un rendimiento inferior debido a la pandemia de Covid-19.

Las empresas mineras criptográficas aprovechan el rally de BTC

Hive se ha posicionado para explotar el creciente mercado minero durante el año pasado al aumentar enormemente su capacidad minera BTC.

En noviembre de 2020, la compañía anunció la compra y el hash inmediato de 1.240 mineros MicroBT WhatsMiner M30S, casi duplicando su poder de hash. El gigante minero agregó más de 3.000 nuevas máquinas mineras a sus operaciones mineras en 2020 y apunta a alcanzar una potencia de hash operativa total de 1.000 PH / s para fines de 2021.

El sector de la criptominería se ha beneficiado del aumento de los precios de BTC, y los datos de Glassnode estiman que los ingresos totales de los mineros ahora superan los $ 13 mil millones. Estos altos márgenes de beneficio hacen de la minería una industria de gran peso dentro del sector de la criptografía.

Impulsados ​​por la reciente corrida alcista de las criptomonedas, los precios de las acciones de las empresas relacionadas con la minería criptográfica han estado registrando ganancias masivas desde las últimas semanas de 2020.

Antes de Hive, otras startups mineras importantes como Riot Blockchain (RIOT) y Marathon Patent Group (MARA) también superaron el valor de mercado de mil millones de dólares el mes pasado.

Los retornos de BTC Mining alcanzan máximos de 2019

Los mineros también están aprovechando la mayor actividad en la cadena de bloques de bitcoin para obtener ganancias masivas. Según datos recientes de Glassnode , los mineros de BTC están ganando $ 1 millón por hora, lo que representa un aumento de aproximadamente el 185% desde que la tercera reducción a la mitad de las recompensas ocurrió a mediados de mayo.

La última vez que los ingresos por hora de la minería estuvieron cerca del nivel actual fue en julio de 2019, cuando las recompensas en bloque eran el doble que las actuales. Como resultado de estos beneficios lucrativos, el mercado de máquinas mineras de bitcoins se está calentando. Según John Lee Quigley de Hashr8 , la creciente demanda de BTC en medio de un repunte de precios astronómico refleja el precio del hardware de minería. Los mineros de Microbt y Bitmain supuestamente están vendidos hasta mayo de 2021, lo que ha elevado el costo de los equipos de minería de última generación hasta un 35% en los últimos dos meses.

The market-leading cryptocurrency heralds the new year by jumping over another major hurdle.

Bitcoin Formula starts the new year with a big bang, because on January 2nd, the market-leading crypto currency was able to crack the next psychologically important hurdle.

With a swing into the new year

As the data from Cointelegraph Markets , Coin360 and TradingView show, Bitcoin has now climbed above the 30,000 US dollar mark.

After a new record high of 29,700 US dollars was initially recorded that night, Bitcoin did not let up, whereupon, after several attempts, the next big hurdle was finally jumped.

The area below the 30,000 US dollar mark had recently shown itself to be fierce resistance, as the market-leading crypto currency has repeatedly faced strong selling pressure here in the past few days. A similar scenario had already played out a few weeks ago at the US $ 20,000 mark.

„If you’re waiting for an entry point to hold Bitcoin long-term, don’t be stingy now. A few thousand dollars more or less after not going to hurt you if it comes up in a year up to 100,000, 200,000 or $ 300,000, „as Willy Woo the current situation summarizing . To this end, he adds:

„The big flight is finally here, the inflow of capital is crazy.“

Altcoins neither fish nor meat

The big altcoins, meanwhile, give a very mixed picture, with Ether ( ETH ) not being dragged along by Bitcoin, but remaining just below 740 US dollars.

For Polkadot ( DOT ) it even went down 6.3%, which only slightly clouded the strong weekly gain of 60%.

The price movements of XRP , on the other hand, are surprisingly strong, because despite the SEC lawsuit against the XRP publisher Ripple, the cryptocurrency can hold itself at 0.23 US dollars after a 7% gain on Friday.

TransferGo, a payment platform using Ripple, has announced that it has entered into a million dollar agreement with Silicon Valley Bank UK Branch (SVB) to develop and enhance their payments flow.

We are talking about £4 million that will enable the bank to process more transactions at a very low cost, not least because this service is operational in 32 countries and plans to expand to over 170 countries worldwide.

Ripple with TransferGo to enhance payments

This is an opportunity for growth in technological terms, commented Silicon Valley Bank UK Branch (SVB) Director Craig Fox:

„We are very excited to strengthen our partnership with TransferGo as we look forward to being part of their growth as they extend their innovation path to attract more customers to a faster, cheaper and more accessible solution to send money around the world.“

In fact, this system will mainly focus on the transfer of Bitcoin Up to and from abroad and will mainly target migrants who are working on the other side of the world and who, when they can, send money to their families.

This, with traditional systems, requires too many costs, as fees usually reach up to 10%.

But this is only the beginning of a prosperous relationship, continued TransferGo’s CEO, Daumantas Dvilinskas:

„Today marks the beginning of a prosperous relationship with Silicon Valley Bank. With its commitment to supporting start-ups and providing support and mentoring to innovators, it is the perfect partner to accompany us through the pandemic and the next phase of our business growth.“

However, more than a year has passed since TransferGo began using and implementing the Ripple system, which seems to be very efficient and is designed to work best with banks around the world.

The latest news on Ripple

Brad Garlinghouse’s company recently registered the PayString trademark, which is likely to be launched in 2021 as a new product.

The trademark has been registered in the generic categories „Advertising and business“ and „Insurance and finance“, so it appears to cover the categories of electronic financial services, i.e. „monetary services for the receipt and disbursement of remittances and monetary gifts in legal currencies and virtual currencies on a computer network“, and „receipt and disbursement of payments and monetary gifts in legal currencies and virtual currencies on a computer network“, as stated in the trademark application.

The price of Ripple

In the last few days, as well as a large part of the crypto market, XRP has also been rising in value, also recording double-digit increases.

Currently XRP is worth $0.66, although it is still a long way from its all-time high of $3.84 in January 2018.

Suite à l’achat de bitcoin pour 425 millions de dollars par sa société d’un milliard de dollars, le PDG de Microstrategy, Michael Saylor, révèle qu’il possède personnellement environ 240 millions de bitcoin. Pendant ce temps, les gains en bitcoin de sa société ont dépassé les autres bénéfices de la société.

Microstrategy et son PDG sont tous deux des hodleurs de bitcoin

Le PDG de la société Microstrategy, Michael Saylor, a révélé ses propres avoirs en bitcoin. Sa société, Microstrategy, a récemment acheté pour 425 millions de dollars de bitcoin comme principal actif de réserve du Trésor.

M. Saylor, qui s’est exprimé ouvertement sur le bitcoin depuis que sa société a décidé de faire de la cryptocouronne son principal actif de réserve du Trésor, a tweeté mercredi :

Certains m’ont demandé combien de BTC je possède. Personnellement, j’en possède 17 732, que j’ai achetés à 9 882 dollars chacun en moyenne. J’ai informé Microstrategy de ces avoirs avant que la société ne décide d’acheter des bitcoins pour elle-même.

Microstrategy a acheté un total d’environ 38 250 bitcoins pour un prix d’achat moyen d’environ 11 111 dollars par BTC, à un prix d’achat global de 425 millions de dollars, les détails de l’annonce de ses résultats du 3T 2020.

Au prix actuel de 13 447,85 dollars par Bitcoin Lifestyle, la valeur des bitcoins détenus par la société dépasse les 514 millions de dollars. La réserve personnelle de Saylor dans la BTC vaut 238,46 millions de dollars. En outre, le cours de l’action de sa société a augmenté de près de 38 %, passant de 117,81 $, lorsqu’elle a annoncé la stratégie d’allocation du capital de bitcoin lors de la publication de ses résultats financiers du deuxième trimestre le 28 juillet, à 162,15 $ au moment de la rédaction de ce rapport.

L’analyste indépendant Kevin Rooke a souligné dans un tweet mardi que „Microstrategy a gagné 78 millions de dollars au cours des 3,5 dernières années grâce à ses activités commerciales“, tandis qu’elle a gagné „100 millions de dollars au cours des 2 derniers mois grâce à ses achats de bitcoins“. Les gains ne sont toutefois pas réalisés et Saylor a indiqué que Microstrategy prévoit de conserver sa CTB pendant 100 ans.

Saylor n’a pas toujours été un taureau de bitcoin. Un ancien sceptique du bitcoin, il a tweeté le 18 décembre 2013 : „Les jours de bitcoin sont comptés. Il semble que ce ne soit qu’une question de temps avant qu’il ne subisse le même sort que les jeux d’argent en ligne“.

Cependant, depuis son achat de bitcoin, le PDG a été un fervent partisan du bitcoin, qualifiant la cryptocouronne de meilleure réserve de valeur, bien meilleure que l’or ou les actions technologiques. Il a récemment plaidé en faveur du bitcoin, un argument de poids à long terme.
