BITCOIN, ALTCOINS, GOLD, STOCKS: THIS IS THE BEST LONG-TERM ASSET ACCORDING TO THIS EXEC



People today have a plethora of assets to choose from and allocate their funds. Money has already started changing tracks and is gradually moving towards newer assets from the typical assets offered at Wall Street. The tech revolution has definitely played a key role in the aforementioned transition.

An average investor today is most likely to look at non-sovereign stores of value that are not currency derivates. Amongst the host of crypto assets available in the market, Bitcoin is the most appealing asset to MicroStrategy’s CEO Michael Saylor. 

Elucidating the same in a recent podcast, Saylor said,

“I go on a stampede for the most liquid the most liquid, most compelling potential non-currency derivative and I find Bitcoin.”

He added,

“I view Bitcoin as an economic imperative because everyone needs a non-sovereign store of value inflation hedge. I view it as a technology imperative because I think the most powerful idea is putting digital property into 8 billion iPhones and android phones.”

Saylor when to compare the market’s largest cryptocurrency to gold, other financial assets and fiat currencies. He said,

“Politicians steal your gold. If they don’t steal your gold, the gold miners will flight gold by 2% a year, if they don’t flight the gold, the gold bankers re-hypothecate the gold 100 times and short it… It’s a bear instrument that is good.”

Bitcoin, being completely decentralized, has an additional advantage as an inflationary hedge when compared to gold. When viewed under the lens of returns received; Bitcoin (375%) has very conveniently outperformed gold (18%) and real estate (5%) since 2020. The same was tackled in-depth in one of our previous article.

Keeping “principles” in mind, Saylor contended,

“You can say what’s the most popular monetary asset in the world – The Dollar. What’s the second? The Euro. What’s the third? The third is Bitcoin. So of the top three, the only one that’s going to go up in value as we print more money is Bitcoin.”

What’s more, the MicroStrategy exec also stated that other assets, including the likes of altcoins and Apple/Google stocks, were comparatively “less popular.”

“I’m looking at BTC as the most distributed, stringiest brand of a monetary asset in the world. So if you’re actually going to place a bet on a non-sovereign store of value… Bitcoin is the first thing if we just look at distribution.”

The Influence of Crypto Lending

  The practice of lending money has been and continues to be one of the driving forces behind the modern economy. Since debt first became a facilitator for trading, it has been considered a significant component in commerce and investment.   With all this clout, it didn’t take long for the practice to make its way into the crypto market. Since around 2010, the potential establishment of “bitcoin banks ” has become a popular topic among numerous forums. Not too long after, people started offering P2P lending services to extract returns on their holdings. This particular space has since evolved to include a wide variety of businesses.   Crypto lending and borrowing have numerous advantages, and these advantages could attract new users. Moreover, it can help expand the ecosystem as a whole.   Attracting banks   One notable change in the crypto sector is that traditional banks may start taking an interest in the system.

Stablecoins vs Elastic Supply Coins – Which are Better for Loans?

  The crypto industry is immensely volatile. This is due to both its infancy, and its influx of retail investors. While volatility can be favorable to some (such as day-traders), most people find it uncomfortable and worrisome. As a means of curbing this, developers created coins and tokens that are tied to certain values, allowing for steadiness and peace of mind. There are two main categories of coins that achieve this: stablecoins and elastic supply coins.   Both are designed to be significantly more predictable, and for this reason, they make for fantastic forms of collateral when getting crypto-backed loans. On the surface, they can even seem very similar to each other, but the technology and economic principles behind them are wildly different. So which is the better collateral: stablecoins, or elastic supply coins?   Stablecoins use reserves   Stablecoins, such as Tether, TrueUSD , and Dai, keep their assets at consistent prices by using reserves of fiat mone...

WHAT IS A LOAN WRITE-OFF?

 In the financial industry, be it taxes, investments , or loans, a term that is periodically tossed around is “write-off.” We often hear this in the context of taxes (ex. “You will even get a tax write-off!”), but some are not familiar with what it actually means. What does it mean?  When an investment, like a loan, becomes delinquent (i.e. payments are late) or in default and is deemed uncollectible, the lender has a choice to make concerning the outstanding investment amount. They can either charge it as an expense or a loss. It is an accounting action that diminishes an asset’s value while simultaneously debiting a liabilities account. It is commonly used by businesses looking to account for unpaid receivables, unpaid loan obligations, or losses on stored inventory. Generally speaking, it can be seen as something to help decrease an annual tax bill.  The core idea is to use the money in conducting business, which was initially put aside at the time of lending the mon...
