An interesting point of view. The co-founder of MicroStrategy recently shared his thoughts on the future of Bitcoin—simply put, he believes that Bitcoin is evolving from a pure store of value tool into a financial infrastructure.

The core logic is as follows: first, Bitcoin's status as digital gold has been established. What is the next step? The answer points to a digital credit system. Imagine if Bitcoin could serve as collateral to support a complete credit system, then the entire Web3 financial ecosystem would open up.

This is not just a technical issue but also a business model innovation. From simple holding to earning interest, being liquid, and building financial products, Bitcoin's role is being redefined. Will 2026 become a key year for this transformation? Or is this just part of a long-term trend? Market observation continues.

Building financial infrastructure sounds good, but how many can actually be implemented? It's easy to pile up concepts, but hard to make them happen.

Building a credit system with Bitcoin as collateral? Sounds great, but we’ll have to wait and see if it actually materializes. Honestly, I’ve heard this logic several times... Every time they say it will be revolutionary, but it’s always the same old story. Interest flows and liquidity, that’s already happening now, with a bunch of lending protocols—nothing new. 2026? Come on, that’s a joke. Such a shift won’t happen that fast; it might take several more bear cycles to see the direction clearly. It sounds good, but I’m more concerned about whether it will become a new tool for harvesting. Upgrading from gold to financial infrastructure... Forget it, let’s wait until genuine institutions get involved. But it’s definitely interesting. If it really comes to fruition, the potential is huge. If this wave succeeds, the BTC in my hands will be even more valuable, but the prerequisite is avoiding another regulatory storm.

This logic is indeed interesting, but to put it nicely, it's still just about making BTC generate money...

Using Bitcoin as collateral for a credit system? Sounds good, but can reality keep up with the imagination? The interest-earning liquidity model has been around for a while; the key is whether decentralization can truly be implemented. Is 2026 the pivotal year? Let's see how the market develops over these two years. From storage to infrastructure, isn't this the path all assets are heading? It's a bit idealistic. Who will bear the risk of bad debts?

Building a credit system with Bitcoin as collateral is indeed an attractive idea... but whether it can be truly implemented depends on if people are willing to use it on a large scale.

Sounds good, but can Bitcoin really serve as collateral with such high volatility?
