Lara Trump talks to Saylor: Bitcoin, the cornerstone of future finance?
In a recent episode, Fox News contributor Lara Trump (wife of Trump's second son) had an in-depth conversation with Michael Saylor, a well-known figure in the Bitcoin field, about the future of Bitcoin.
Saylor, a staunch supporter of Bitcoin, shared his journey from initial skepticism to his full commitment to Bitcoin today. He believes that Bitcoin is not only an investment tool, but also the core of the future financial system.
Saylor recalled that when he first came into contact with Bitcoin in 2013, he was skeptical of Bitcoin and thought it was a "weird" thing. However, in 2020, when his company faced an existential crisis, he realized that Bitcoin could be the key to saving the company.
He pointed out: "The choice we face is to either sit and wait or take the risk of change." In the end, he chose Bitcoin and saw it as a powerful tool to resist economic turmoil.
Saylor admires Bitcoin for its fixed supply (21 million coins), portability and decentralization. He also likened Bitcoin to "digital gold" and said that Bitcoin can be transferred from New York to Tokyo in a few minutes. He also emphasized that Bitcoin is a real "digital savings" that no one can freeze or seize.
Saylor explained that after studying many cryptocurrencies, he chose Bitcoin because it is the safest and most mature. He called Bitcoin a "sovereign currency" because it is not controlled by any government or institution. He also mentioned that if the US government uses Bitcoin as a strategic reserve, it will greatly enhance the country's competitiveness and called on the government to formulate a clear legal framework for digital assets.
Looking to the future, Saylor predicts that in the next 5 to 10 years, large technology companies such as Apple and Google will integrate Bitcoin functions, and Bitcoin will become a savings tool for ordinary families, from small yoga studios to large hotel chains. Financing and innovation can be achieved through Bitcoin.
In summary, Saylor's point of view is very clear, that is, Bitcoin is not only an investment tool, but also a disruptor of the future financial system. At the same time, its decentralization, transparency and security make it the "gold" of the digital age.
