He isn’t the first individual to declare Bitcoin as a superior investment over Gold. Many influential individuals in the finance industry have stated their ‘love’ for Bitcoin over Gold. In reality, there are some advantages that Bitcoin has over Gold. Some of these include easy transportation, immune to counterfeiting, and much more securely storage.
However, coming back to MicroStrategy, its CEO Michael Saylor said in a television interview:
“If Bitcoin is not going to zero, then it’s going to a million”.
He is hoping that Bitcoin’s Lightning Network as well as the native layer-2 payment mechanism will solve most of the problems the network faces right now.
