Bitcoin was the first “well-designed, valuable store,” and absorbs losses of up to $15 trillion a year due to inflation and assets collapse, according to former MicroStrategy executive chairman Michael Saylor It may be.
“I’m not saying that 100% of long-term capital will be Bitcoin,” Saylor said on the podcast. “What I’m really saying is that long term capital is like $450 trillion. I think the entropy lapse is 3%. Whether it’s inflation or entropy, it’s financial assets or that I think there’s a 3% loss in that capital, whether it’s physical assets… that’s an inefficiency of $13-15 trillion a year.”
Saylor’s calculations are based on the idea that long-term global capital (assets held by individuals and institutions) will be $450 trillion. He estimates that 3% of this capital is lost every year due to factors such as inflation, asset collapse and business failure.
This means that around $13.5 to $15 trillion disappear from the economy each year. He calls this “entropy lapse” and compares it to natural collapse. There, assets like real estate get worse, businesses go bankrupt, and Fiat’s money loses value over time.
Saylor argued that Bitcoin is separated from other assets as it does not suffer from depreciation, inflation or deterioration over time. Unlike real estate, corporate stocks, or Fiat currencies, Bitcoin is not affected by structural collapse. “People and institutions own things, and when a building falls, the company fails,” he pointed out.
Saylor likened Bitcoin to a “global siphon” and allowed capital to flow into a safer system. “There’s a natural tendency for people to want to move their capital from safer, more chaotic, more uncertain places,” he said. “They want to move their people. They want to move their money… that’s the nature of humans.”
He also points out that Bitcoin’s volatility is a major strength rather than a weakness, suggesting it provides opportunities for investors through a high-yield strategy. “If you have a $1 million micro-strategic inventory and you sell phones on the market at 120 vols, you can pay 200% interest per year,” he explained.
According to Saylor, Bitcoin is the “world’s first full money” and a technical breakthrough that is better than gold, fiat and other assets. “The second best money half-life is 30 years, and the first best money has an eternal half-life,” he declared.
