Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael J Saylor

借助近50万枚比特币和一大批散户投资者，MicroStrategy（微策略，现在更名为Strategy）从一家亏损的软件公司摇身一变，跻身于市场上最热门的股票之列，交易量一度超越了英伟达。随着川普当选带来的比特币狂潮，MicroStrategy的最高涨幅达到惊人的8倍。 不过这也是一家波动巨大的股票，在最近比特币和美股的颓势中，MicroStrategy的股价也被腰斩，而币价下跌也令MicroStrategy的玩法遭遇挑战。 随着美股大跌，比特币价格持续下行，微策略是否会在市场的下行期面临清盘风险？因为涉及到二级市场，前面的部分会有一定的理解门槛。如果大家对二级市场市场不太感兴趣，我们稍稍发散抛出了一些有意思的假设，也可以直接跳到节目的后半部分来听一听黄金的故事。 【主播】 泓君Jane，硅谷101创始人，播客主理人 刘一鸣，硅谷101研究员 【嘉宾】 郑迪，前沿科技投资人 刘锋，BODL Ventures 合伙人，前链闻总编辑 【你将听到】 拆解微策略 04:28 投机股票微策略：推销的不是价值，而是波动性 07:18 卖点：加了杠杆的比特币与比特币看涨期权 09:05 融资能力是核心：教主级的销售人物 10:42 二级市场直接发股：债股结合的融资方式 14:10 疯狂的市场与没有规律的溢价——比特币溢价计算公式 15:55 微策略最大的卖盘是自己 19:42 从发股到发债：利好微策略股价，利空比特币 25:53 微策略滚动发债的债务结构：28-29年债务集中到期 27:15 比特币价格下跌之谜：巨大的买盘消失；关税战与通胀预期 31:20 为何比特币与黄金远期溢价从年化15%下降到4% 40:05 微策略学徒：区域市场很难获得高溢价 43:28 香港共识大会最大的共识：所有人都要做意见领袖 比特币教主 44:13 Michael J.

Almost everyone now talks about how critical Magnesium is for us, Dr. Hyman, Andrew Huberman, all of the health industry authorities, and doctors. There is a long list of symptoms and diseases that can be eased or even treated with magnesium. In fact, way back magnesium was a critical element. Doctors used magnesium for all kinds of conditions, from arrhythmia to constipation, to preeclampsia, and even seizures. For some reason, now doctors use it as a last resort and put patients on high doses of Magnesium if they are at risk of premature labor, seizure, and other very serious conditions.It's really essential to our health and our wellbeing. This is a huge problem because magnesium deficiency can increase your risk of all diseases and keep you from performing optimally. We shouldn't wait until we are Magnesium deficient!And even more critically, there's not just one type of magnesium. There are seven different types that we need in order to ensure both our health and vitality remain strong.  Fortunately, BiOptimizers has the solution.

In this episode of “Y.E.L. 2.0”, host Peter Voogd, Entrepreneur, Mentor, Speaker, Best-selling Author, and Founder of the prestigious ‘Game Changers Academy' talks with guest Mr. Michael J. Saylor, CEO of The Business Analytic Software for MicroStrategy. He is deep-diving into Bitcoin, sharing facts, and strategies to buy it. Michael is talking about it from a political, social, economic, and legal standpoint. Episode Highlights Michael says, when you evaluate economics, you have to be able to think from first principles, what does currency mean? What is a bond/stock/property? How do you value property/stock/ bond/currency?  When you think about inflation, you realize there isn't one inflation rate; a million inflation rates are changing everywhere all the time for every product. Peter enquires why don't more people think for themselves and try to get the first principle. If you had the right teachers, and they poked you the right way, then that's helpful. So not everyone has the benefits of the best education. If we simply just wiped the deck clean you could be anywhere and do anything you wanted. That would allow you to move very aggressively.  We need more independent thinkers to push this culture forward. We need to find a Crypto Asset that looks like gold on a big tech network that you can move at the speed of light. If you look at the experience of Bitcoin from 2018 to 2020, the entire asset class hardens institutionalize and stabilize. It was pretty clear that Bitcoin was going to be the dominant winner proof of work, not Bitcoin cash, and not Bitcoin Satoshi vision.  It's challenging to develop the gold or generate yield on gold.  They're all forms of property but they're all 20th-century property that's expensive to maintain, slow to move, and hard to develop. Bitcoins are a 21st-century property, we can move to the speed of light.  If you want 8 billion people to do business with each other and 100 million companies at the speed of light with no friction across 20 or 30 or 40 billion mobile devices across every political domain.  Bitcoin fixes everything because it's pure energy.  A lot of times people that are promoting gold own gold miners.  If you move too fast, you generate sparks and friction.  If we fixed all this tomorrow Bitcoin would be trading at $10 million a coin and you wouldn't be able to afford it as it is right now. Peter says you're still not sure if it takes you 30 years to notice something which is a dominant network, and then your career is over. Michael has been pleasantly surprised by the support coming from regulators and politicians. The one thing that's certain in the crypto sphere is Bitcoin is digital property. It's not security, and it's okay to own it.  The debate was, is it a currency or is it an asset, and so, people have established it is an asset it's not a currency.  The world is waiting for clarity from the regulators on what is the security, and what is property, says Michael The Safe Harbor is a digital property on the Bitcoin network as a store of value. If you're an individual, you can't carry more than $50,000 worth of capital outside of China, it's a capital control thing. It'll be a problem to own Bitcoin in a country where you have no property rights; you're not allowed to own any property. When you understand it as property then you figure out what kind of property you want to own, what jurisdiction you're in, then you can kind of figure it out. If you're a saver, and you have pesos, convert them to dollars, that's a stronger asset and if you have dollars, convert that to Bitcoin, that's a stronger asset If your choice is starved to death, or own something in the gray market or the black market, you've got to do the right thing for your family. Some are trying to crack down on Bitcoin mining was a scare but Bitcoins come back roaring better than ever. Peter asks, what is that strategy of borrowing against the assets? Michael points out, as long as the appreciation rate is greater than your expense ratio, you can borrow forever. You need an asset that's going to appreciate, what will appreciate scarce desirable assets. There is competition and Bitcoin banks are coming online, there'll be more competition.  If Bitcoins go up 100% a year it cost you 5% to borrow the money. Borrow $1,000,000 of 5%, loan it out to Bitcoin for 100% scrape the 95% arbitrage you make $950,000 a year off of a million-dollar loan. You should raise capital as cheaply as you can and invest in a business that's growing that is going to appreciate. Peter says when I first watched that it did open my eyes to a different way to build wealth, and I feel like that's the right way in this new economy. The opportunity would be different if the money supply was inflating at 0% a year and the interest rate was 6%. When the rates go low, and when the money supply expands faster in an inflationary environment, it's very important. You would get a 200% return if all you did was borrow a million pesos and buy dollars because the peso went from one to the dollar to 200 to the dollar. So, if you understand that frame of reference, then you realize that certain things make a lot more sense. How do you think we could best deliver that to include people in the process? Michael mentions a lot of education is to be done. One thing you can do is you can create specific education for certain constituencies. Bitcoin uses real energy and real technology because that gives it thermodynamics substance and political substance in the real world. Bitcoin turns out to use maybe $4 or $5 billion worth of energy a year to create something that's got a $1.1 trillion value.  If you look at Bitcoin, you say that we can upgrade analog energy to digital energy. You need to keep the proof of work on energy to be politically and thermodynamically sound and unique. What is the most efficient strategy to convert payroll for a large company into paying them in Bitcoin?  If I paid you in Bitcoin that I had acquired a year earlier, I would have capital gains tax on it. So, I would be accelerating the tax bill. But if I pay you in US dollars, there's no tax bill. As the governments expand the currency supply, there is inflation.  If you have a billion dollars of Bitcoin, you can move down at the speed of light anywhere in cyberspace.  Peter asks, is there anything you can share what you predict the end of year Bitcoin and then two-year Bitcoin and maybe 10 or 15 years down the road? Michael says, it flips gold, and then it replaces real estate, and eventually there's no reason why it can't become a multi 100 trillion-dollar asset. Bitcoins are going to appreciate because of a. inflation, b. adaption, c. utility, and d. productivity. And by that he means in your frame of reference, states Michael. If you want to get rich and stay rich, you have to own high-quality property forever. Three Key Points You need to think from the first principle; it is that philosophy that has allowed you to understand Bitcoin when you first started consuming that and studying it. Bitcoins are digital energy; it's the basis of 21st-century civilization. You just got to think hard about it and once you start thinking hard about it what you realize is, that this is just the profound opportunity of the century. The first thing you want is a scarce desirable asset. The second thing you want is a bit of monetary inflation. The third thing you want is a low-interest rate, and the fourth thing you want is a bank that you trust.

上周，「萨尔瓦多」突然成为国际新闻头条和财经版的关键词，主要因为这个贫困小国-萨尔瓦多领先全球，成为第一个将比特币 (Bitcoin)作为法定货币的国家，但这一行动的起步并不顺利，接下来也将面对很多的挑战。 但在上周二，世界各地的比特币爱好者在Twitter上发起一项网络运动，号召大家在7号之前一起购入30美元比特币来声援萨尔瓦多。一些企业家也加入这项活动，如美国商业软件公司MicroStrategy行政总裁塞勒（Michael J. Saylor）就在Twitter上发起投票，希望大家一起共襄盛举。为了抛砖引玉，萨尔瓦多政府买了400个比特币，更宣布将发给每位国民等值30美元的比特币消费金。 萨尔瓦多的这项法令一上路就出师不利，第一天就遇到币价大跌引来全球关注。截至上周二下午5点，比特币的价格是46776.65美元，下跌了9.9%。另一方面，成千上万的萨尔瓦多人试图下载Chivo比特币电子钱包造成服务器过载，政府不得不将Chivo应用下线几个小时。Chivo在当地语言中是「酷」的意思，这个比特币支付电子钱包，是布克尔(Nayib Bukele)政府花费逾2.25亿美元推广和鼓励国民安装的，还向用户发放价值30美元的比特币红包。但这款Chivo钱包周二早上不但没有出现在各大应用商店中，有一些用户更在社交媒体上表示，无法用手机号或官方身份证注册。种种的状况都为萨尔瓦多政府在推动这个法案上面临到诸多的质疑。 「新闻懒人包」就要带你盘点在全球大部分政府都抗拒比特币之际，为什么萨尔瓦多反而坚持反其道而行呢？

To get them, please join my mailing list; just click here http://briankeating.com/mailing_list.php On MicroStrategy’s quarterly earnings conference call in July 2020, Saylor announced his intention for MicroStrategy to explore purchasing Bitcoin, gold, or other alternative assets instead of holding cash. The following month, MicroStrategy used $250 million from its cash stockpile to purchase 21,454 Bitcoin. MicroStrategy added $175 million of Bitcoin to its holdings in September 2020 and another $50 million in early December 2020. On December 11, 2020, MicroStrategy announced that it had sold $650 million in convertible senior notes, taking on debt to increase its Bitcoin holdings to over $1 billion worth. On December 21, 2020 MicroStrategy announced their total holdings include 70,470 bitcoins purchased for $1.125 billion at an average price of $15,964 per bitcoin. Saylor, who controls 70% of MicroStrategy’s shares, dismissed concerns by observers that the move is turning MicroStrategy into a Bitcoin investment firm or exchange-traded fund (ETF). In 1999, Saylor established The Saylor Foundation (later named Saylor Academy), of which he is the sole trustee.
