Market doubts are rising again? Don’t panic—the man who’s been aggressively hoarding coins is here once more to steady the troops 😌😌
Michael Saylor, head of Strategy, the public company with the world’s biggest BTC holdings, made a statement at a blockchain summit yesterday: as long as Bitcoin’s annualized growth rate holds above 1.36%, it’s a guaranteed profit for us.
Saylor broke down their “perpetual motion machine” strategy on the spot—using financing at a 6%-14% cost to buy Bitcoin. It sounds simple and aggressive, but how exactly does the positive flywheel behind this work?
To be honest, whether this model can truly function depends on whether BTC’s long-term trend can hold up. With such volatility in the market, an annualized 1.36% doesn’t sound high, but sustainability is the hardest part. Do you think this bet is solid?

Saylor is really something else, always coming out with motivational speeches at the most critical moments... But 1.36% annualized sounds stable, the question is how long can it last?
Leveraged buying of coins sounds like a perpetual motion machine, but can it really keep running without blowing up? I have my doubts.
This bet is the kind where if you pick right, you win big, but if you pick wrong, you’re completely finished... Do you guys really dare to go all in?
If Saylor is really that confident, I’d consider following along, but I’m just worried it’s another trick to fleece retail investors.
Perpetual motion machine? Why does it sound more like the prelude to perpetual losses...
That 1.36% number is kind of terrifying if you think about it—almost like they’re saying as long as we don’t lose money, it’s fine?

Saylor's logic of financing to buy coins is indeed impressive, but what happens when the bear market comes? The financing costs are still there.
1.36% sounds easy, but try running it for 3 years—no one can really predict volatility.
This guy definitely has guts, but I still believe that the power of long-term holding is stronger.
To put it nicely, it's a perpetual motion machine; to put it bluntly, it's leveraged gambling. Let's see how long they can last.
Sustainability is indeed difficult, but if I have to choose one, I still side with Saylor's approach.

1.36% annualized? Sounds easy but hard to pull off. The riskiest thing about leverage is the black swan events.
To put it bluntly, Saylor is betting that BTC won’t crash, but when has crypto ever been reliable?
Financing costs of 6-14% versus a 1.36% gain—can this math really keep working in the long run? I’m skeptical.
A perpetual motion machine sounds nice, but in reality, it’s just a bet that Bitcoin won’t collapse. In other words, we’re all gambling on the same thing.
This guy really dares to say it, coming out to steady the troops at the right time. I wish I had that kind of confidence.

1.36% annualized? That sounds like betting that BTC will never crash, and that's a bet I can't afford to make.
Saylor is really bold—if the game of buying coins with leverage crashes, it's Game Over right away.
To put it nicely, it's a perpetual motion machine; to put it bluntly, it's just leveraged gambling. The risk is pretty high.
Sustainability is key, but when does the market not have a sudden spike? I have my doubts.
Is 1.36% really enough? I'm wondering why this number is so outrageous... even financing costs are higher than that.
Is this strategy really stable? Maybe I'll wait until the bear market to decide.
Using leverage to accumulate coins—isn't this just leveraged directional betting? Wake up, everyone.

Saylor's logic sounds great, but at the end of the day, it's just betting that BTC won't die—a leverage game, nothing more.
As long as we don't get liquidated, it's fine anyway. After all, we're all betting on the same thing.

The logic of buying coins with leverage sounds great, but the key is still how long you can survive in a bear market.
Saylor’s perpetual motion machine is basically a bet that BTC won’t die, but the question is, can that 1.36% threshold really hold?
This guy has really gotten a feel for hoarding coins, and his talking points are getting smoother and smoother. But to be fair, there really aren’t many people who dare to play this game.
With financing costs at 6-14%, could you still stand if the coin price gets cut in half twice? I think it’s pretty risky.
Here we go again—every time the market crashes, people expect this guy to come out and save it, as if he’s some kind of stabilizing force.

Sounds great in theory, but buying crypto with leverage during a bear market is a surefire way to lose everything.
With financing costs at 6%-14%, if BTC drops just 20%, you’ll get liquidated instantly.
Saylor’s perpetual motion machine theory seems to be based on the bet that BTC will never experience a long-term decline—way too idealistic.
An annualized return of just 1.36% to break even? Might as well just buy government bonds.
This guy is really something, using other people’s money to bet on his own beliefs.
Every time I hear him speak, it feels like brainwashing, but I have to admit he’s actually made money.
Sustainability is the real key—one bull run doesn’t change the fundamentals.
This logic makes sense in a bull market, but in a bear market it’s a joke.
As long as Saylor doesn’t go bankrupt, I’ll keep believing in him, haha.
With leveraged financing, it all comes down to who’s left holding the bag.
