👀 Crypto billionaire’s new prediction

GM everyone. This is 2036.

You’re probably familiar with Michael Saylor. He’s the founder of Microstrategy, one of the largest Bitcoin holders in the world (∼$8.3 billion BTC on their balance sheet).

Michael is very smart, and he’s a fantastic bitcoin bull. He’s the chief marketing officer we didn’t know we needed.

Earlier this week, Michael was on CNBC. And he brought the heat 🔥

He was on for ∼10 min, dropping wisdom bombs left and right.

But if you don’t have 10 min, here are the most important things he said:

1/ After buying Bitcoin, Microstrategy has been the best-performing stock in the S&P 500 📈 

Microstrategy started buying Bitcoin in August 2020. Since then, the company has become a form of leveraged exposure to Bitcoin.

And the bet’s paid off. Its performance has beaten even NVIDIA - and Bitcoin itself.

During the dotcom crash, Michael fell out of the billionaire’s club… but with his stock up 10X in the last 4 years, he’s back in.

2/ Michael Saylor predicts Bitcoin will reach $13 million 🔮

Here’s how he gets to that number: in recent years, Bitcoin has increased 44% per year on average (vs. 12% for the S&P).

He says this will eventually fall to 40%, then 35%, then 30%, etc., until Bitcoin reaches $13 million in 2045.

After that, it will outperform the S&P500 by about 8% per year, with slightly more volatility.

Fade him at your peril.

Oh, and the big catalyst for the next leg up? Banks custodying Bitcoin for their clients.

3/ The way to capture those returns is to hold Bitcoin for 4+ years ✊

I’ve covered this a million times before: crypto works in 4-year cycles, and holding majors through an entire cycle practically guarantees you’ll outperform any other asset on the planet.

But here’s the thing: holding through volatility is hard. 

When everything else goes UP, and crypto goes NOWHERE (or down) for months at a time, it’s difficult to hold. That’s why many people panic-sell (and FOMO-buy when crypto outperforms).

But volatility is the price we pay for high returns.

4/ Bitcoin is the ultimate safe asset 🛡️

Here’s why: Bitcoin is an asset without counterparty risk.

When sh*t hits the fan, you don’t want to be a counterparty to any country, city, currency, commodity, culture or company (that’s a lot of ‘c’-s there).

You also don’t have to guess whether Picasso paintings, New York real estate or NVIDIA stock will be higher in 10 years.

All you have to do is buy a fraction of the world’s purest form of money - BTC.

Ok - so why does this matter?

Because baked into Michael’s prediction is a key lesson in crypto: buy the right thing and be patient.

The good times will return. It’s just a matter of time.

When in doubt, zoom out.
