🤔 Michael Saylor doesn’t believe $BTC is digital money
He’s said it on stage, in podcasts, on X, and repeated it for months. Strategy (formerly MicroStratgy) founder Michael Saylor doesn’t believe bitcoin (BTC) is digital money.
Digital money, a new phrase that joins his dozens of other invented terms, doesn’t seem to exist yet to any meaningful degree, in Saylor’s opinion.
Despite millennia of gold money, centuries of paper money, decades of fiat money, and years of digital fiat money — not to mention BTC’s 17 year history– humanity is still waiting for digital money.

📌 Inflation in the US is cooling down.
At the moment, inflation in the US is 1.55%, which is the lowest level since May 2025 🗓
However, the Federal Reserve and Jerome Powell insist that the effect of tariffs has not yet fully manifested, and it's important to monitor the data at the beginning of 2026.
If inflation does not increase in the coming months, this will be a reason for the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates, which will have a positive impact on the crypto market beef cattle 🐂

Minimum plan for the current year: repeat the history of the last cycle with BTC recovering to $100k. It will still be a bear market, but we'll wait a bit. Maximum plan: break the resistance at $102k and prove the death of the 4-year cycle. For now, we're sticking to the first option 🕯
