The price may be stalling right now. The critics never go away, but we have one person who's bettered all

0:05

Micro-strategy's founder and CEO Michael Sala. He's with us again. Michael's been far too long

0:10

I just want to get you to take because I know you were at the Bitcoin conference last week

0:13

I saw the pictures the photos all the cool people were there. I wasn't invited. Did it live up to the hype?

0:20

It did live up to the height Charles. I've never seen so much passion

0:24

We have politicians from all over the world getting interested. We have sports figures

0:29

We saw a capitalist from every industry showing up for the first time. We saw we saw a great intellectual leaders and corporate figures

0:39

So obviously it's twice as much energy as last year and what it's saying is that everybody in the world knows that they need a solution to their problem

0:48

And they see Bitcoin as a solution. I'd say it's so weird

0:51

Imagine like you know you're talking to it like a 20-some-year-old rapper

0:55

You know who never knew about finance per se and then you speak into a general who teaches by the way has a 99% graduation rate at the college

1:03

And they both have the same

1:05

underlying fear about our financial system. That says a lot doesn't it?

1:09

Yeah, what they're thinking they're thinking. I don't know if I trust the government

1:12

I don't trust the currency. I don't trust the banks. I don't have a savings account

1:17

I got no checking account the payment systems don't work anymore. Everything's broken and

1:23

The entire crypto economy offers a solution to that problem and so

1:28

Everybody's everybody's looking for the way to improve their life with technology

1:33

So I'm reading about the quote crypto holy war where they're saying Jack Dorsey is the Bitcoin maximalist where Mark and Dreson is the crypto

1:42

Polymores

1:44

I mean is there is there some sort of crypto play beyond Bitcoin?

1:48

I know you put it all into Bitcoin, but do the other coins out there have any sort of value or potential?

1:55

You know, I think Mark and Jack agree on more they disagree and I think they both love Bitcoin and they're both enthusiastic about crypto technology

2:03

The difference is Mark's adventure capitalist

2:06

He's willing to take more risk on protocols and tokens and of course that's his job. He takes risk for a living

2:11

Jack's focused on billions of unbanked and he's looking for the low-risk path forward, which is Bitcoin

2:17

I think ultimately they will settle their differences and come together in order to make a better world because technology is the solution to our problem

2:27

Well, maybe one day I could get all three you guys in studio and we can hash it out

2:30

Let's talk about this DeFi revolution right because it's supposed to to your point just now have these universal benefits and yet

2:37

There's a piece in the Atlantic saying it's going to recreate the 2008 financial crisis

2:42

You know, I when I read these things I'm just saying you know who even who's the who's pushing these sort of articles?

2:49

You know if you look at the millennials if you're below the age of 40 you're looking at the world saying this is hopeless

2:56

I got knows savings account. I've got no chance of catching up with inflation. I'll never be able to buy a house

3:02

Everything's broken and they see a solution in the new crypto economy. So they're enthusiastic

3:08

Of course the critics and skeptics and intellectuals will over intellectualize this and worry about every way that it can break

3:15

And I guess that's their role in the regulators worry as well

3:20

Ultimately, I think that we'll work out all of those issues and and people need a solution to their problem of

3:27

How do they save their money and how do they move their money and

3:32

That's why there's such incredible enthusiasm for Bitcoin and all of these crypto technologies

3:37

So so when you get the kind of scathing critique from a Charlie Munger or Warren Buffett can we just chalk it up to that their old?

3:45

I think eventually everybody is going to adopt this every single day another big bank adopts Bitcoin

3:54

The big investors just got the green light from the present in the United States a couple of weeks ago with that executive order

4:01

JP Morgan's come around bank of America's coming around Goldman Sachs is coming around black rock is coming

4:07

Around it is just a matter of time Michael Bitcoin has moved in perfect symmetry with the pace of the money supply

4:14

So the feds are moving the punch bowl is that going to hold back the price for a little bit?

4:19

You know my view is this is a great opportunity for the hotler

4:23

I mean Bitcoin looks like I'm risky today than it was two years ago

4:26

So if your dollar cost averaging you should be grateful for this opportunity

4:30

I do think all the assets have taken a pause and

4:34

And there's look there's a bit of tension between the fast money traders that don't really understand Bitcoin and the informed

4:41

Hottlers that are holding it for the next decade or longer to give to their grandkids

4:46

And I think over time what we're going to find is the fast the fast money traders are going to get informed and the hotler's going to get the money

4:54

All right, Michael again, I tip my hat to you your man that puts his money where his mouth is and you've convinced a lot of folks are glad you came on thank you

5:02

Yeah, thank you, trust you soon
