“Avoid the F trend with Bitcoin”
MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor touted himself as a Bitcoin (Bitcoin) “optimistic” in the latest episode of Peter McCormack’s YouTube show, “What Bitcoin Did.”
Saylor also, in no uncertain terms, warned against any actions that could hinder the progress of the flagship cryptocurrency.
“Bitcoin will succeed” Saylor She said. “It is succeeding as quickly as possible and we should try to avoid the F trend.”
The 59-year-old billionaire, who reportedly owns more than 17,000 Bitcoin, speculates that the cryptocurrency is on the verge of widespread acceptance by nation-states, financial institutions and institutional investors.
He also remains convinced that Bitcoin can solve global economic challenges. It’s a solid currency because of its limited supply, he says, in contrast to conventional currencies susceptible to government-driven inflation.
According to Saylor, it is highly unlikely that another digital asset will surpass it.
“Bitcoin has become too mature…it has become too powerful to be threatened by another cryptocurrency,” Saylor says. “I think this will be the case where the rising tide lifts all boats.”

Bitcoin’s Bull Run: Analysts Warn Investors
The recent rise in Bitcoin prices has been notable. Its value has increased by almost 13% in the last week and a half, regaining the $70,000 mark per BTC. This surge brought Bitcoin closer to its all-time high of $74,000, leading market analysts and traders to reconsider their strategies.
Despite the bullish sentiment, John Bollinger, a renowned trader and creator of the widely used Bollinger Bands, has expressed caution regarding the immediate future of Bitcoin.
Bollinger highlighted a worrying pattern on the Bitcoin price chart, suggesting a potential pullback or consolidation phase. Specifically, he highlighted the appearance of a two-bar reversal in the upper Bollinger band, a signal often associated with a temporary market correction.
While Bollinger’s analysis raises short-term concerns, he remains optimistic about Bitcoin’s long-term prospects. His cautious stance is based on technical indicators rather than a fundamental bearish outlook. Bollinger’s outlook reflects current market sentiment, where optimism about Bitcoin’s future growth is balanced by awareness of potential short-term volatility.
