I asked him what precipitated the latest run in Bitcoin. "Trump had said, 'We'll end the war on crypto,' " Saylor told me. "Bitcoin has gone from having like a 20% headwind to a 40% tailwind. We caught the wind and got an extraordinary boost." So, what's the real value of Bitcoin? "It's a digital transformation of money that strips away the risk of currency, stocks, bonds, and real estate and property. It's like a building, but it's a building that you can teleport to. It is indestructible, immortal, invisible, and you don't have all the things that drag down the value of a building. So, think of it as Manhattan in cyberspace."
All righty, then.
