I think Saylor's attitude toward Bitcoin is interesting. The man's statement is simple, but most people don't understand it: every major technology investment experiences a 45% decline. Think about Apple's situation in 2013. The stock drops 45% from its peak, market value crashes, and everyone says "Apple is finished." But experienced investors like Warren Buffett and Carl Icahn support it exactly at that moment. Seven years pass, and Apple’s value fully recovers. That’s Saylor’s point: Bitcoin is currently going through a similar period. This decline has lasted about 137 days. It may take two years, maybe three. Just as long-term investors patiently wait for stocks, Bitcoin should be evaluated with the same logic.

BTC is currently at the $73.36K level, roughly 45% below the record around $3.2B. This figure looks so dramatic that according to Glassnode data, when in a single session on February 5th, the network experienced a loss of $3.2 billion as it dropped from the 70K levels to 60K, it shows the magnitude of panic.

But there’s something else Saylor needs to observe. Derivative markets are no longer offshore as in previous years; now they operate in regulated US markets. This structural change reduces volatility in both directions. In the old days, 80% drops could happen; now they are stuck around 40-50%. Traditional banks still refuse to lend against Bitcoin assets, which pushes some players into shadow banking structures and creates artificial selling pressure during stressful periods.

Regarding the risk of quantum computing, Saylor’s answer is quite clear: it’s not an immediate threat. It will probably take more than a decade to pose a practical risk. By then, governments, finance, and defense systems will have transitioned to post-quantum cryptography. Bitcoin software will also evolve and be upgraded with broad global consensus if necessary. Any quantum breakthrough will affect not only Bitcoin but all digital systems worldwide. Saylor sees this as a FUD cycle — once people get tired of quantum FUD, a new fear narrative around Epstein files has started.

In conclusion, Saylor’s message is this: if you know about Apple’s 2013 crash and subsequent recovery, you can view Bitcoin through the same lens. There is no successful technology investment that hasn’t gone through a valley of despair. Like Warren Buffett’s stocks, Bitcoin can be a long-term position for patient investors.
