So, does @saylor view Bitcoin as money? The short answer is NO. @saifedean explains Saylor's thesis on Bitcoin 👇 "He sees @Strategy role as refining crude Bitcoin into different forms of financial assets that allow people access to them." But what does that mean for Bitcoin 🤔 In our latest Chain Reaction show for @Cointelegraph, Saifedean unpacked his views on Bitcoin versus Saylor's and why Strategy's Bitcoin playbook doesn't change Bitcoin's monetary properties. "I can see the logic behind it. Ultimately, it's an academic issue. It doesn't have much of real-world relevance," Saifedean said. "In theory, I think of Bitcoin itself as the money. I think of it as being the asset itself. And I think people just need to hold Bitcoin. And I think in the long run, people are going to hold Bitcoin. Now, as long as the fiat money printer exists, there will be all kinds of fiat games that can and will be played." Saifedean said that global monetary supply increases from 7-15% annually and that the system incentivizes using debt. "There's an enormous world that is used to getting into financial debt for all kinds of purposes. You're going to see that increase. As Bitcoin grows, you're going to be seeing these kinds of financial fiat tools and products being deployed on Bitcoin." What does that actually mean? Well, in short, businesses and individuals will need to acquire Bitcoin as pristine capital to access affordable debt. "Ultimately, all of that has to be built on a foundation of buying Bitcoin. One way or the other, that just means more and more people buy Bitcoin and the size of cash balances in Bitcoin increases. And in my mind, that inevitably means that Bitcoin becomes the money itself." Whether Saylor thinks Bitcoin is money or not. Its properties make it both an unrivalled hard asset and a medium of exchange.
