MicroStrategy’s founder, Michael Saylor, claims that younger generations are increasingly turning away from traditional finance in favor of Bitcoin (BTC) due to its 24/7 availability and modern advantages.
In a recent CNBC interview, Saylor highlighted that millennials, born between 1981 and 1996, view Bitcoin as a superior alternative to traditional financial systems.
He points out that conventional finance is limited in its operations, often closed on weekends and requiring substantial costs to go public. In contrast, Bitcoin offers constant access and operates continuously, much like essential modern services.
Saylor argues that the traditional financial sector, with its restricted hours and high costs, seems outdated compared to Bitcoin’s always-on, 21st-century model. He suggests that if essential services like food or water were as restricted as traditional banks, it would be considered unacceptable.
Looking to the future, Saylor has forecasted a massive growth for Bitcoin, predicting an increase of over 19,000% over the next 20 years. He envisions Bitcoin’s annual rate of return (ARR) gradually decreasing but still significantly outperforming traditional investments.
By 2045, he anticipates Bitcoin could reach $13 million per coin, with a market cap of $280 trillion. He outlines a range of possible outcomes, from a $3 million bear case to a $49 million bull case, envisioning Bitcoin as a major global asset.
BitMEX co-founder Arthur Hayes has issued a cautious outlook for Bitcoin and the broader crypto market, predicting a possible short-term downturn as the U.S. government shifts its liquidity strategy.
Bitcoin’s bullish undercurrent continues to strengthen as on-chain data and derivatives market behavior reveal aggressive accumulation from long-term holders and whales.
As institutional adoption of Bitcoin accelerates, U.S. asset management giant Franklin Templeton has issued a cautionary note on the growing trend of crypto-based treasury strategies.
Bitcoin rose 1.78% over the past 24 hours to reach $109,500 at the time of writing, driven by surging institutional inflows into spot ETFs, easing global trade tensions, and strengthening technical momentum.
