Micheal J Saylor is the greatest visionary in the Information Systems industry. An enthusiastic blockchain influencer and a splendid leader. He believes that prudent institutional investors should only consider trusting a crypto-asset network after it has operated reliably for at least ten years without a hard fork.
 

He is an American entrepreneur and business executive,  who co-founded  Microstrategy, a company that provides business intelligence, mobile software, and cloud-based services, under his leadership Microstrategy has grown at a tremendous rate and made a mark in the BI industry, and he is chairman and CEO of the same Microstrategy.  He is a vocal advocate of bitcoin. He is highly skilled in enterprise software, and also has a rich knowledge of numerous fields including analytics, data warehouse, leadership, SaaS, management, cloud computing, startups, professional services, enterprise architecture, mobile devices, and many more.

 
In 1983, he matriculated at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) on an air force ROTC scholarship. And then, he joined the Theta delta chi fraternity, through which he met the future co-founder of Microstrategy, Sanju K Bansal. He graduated from MIT in 1987 with a double major in aeronautics, science, technology, and society. He is volunteering at Saylor Academy as a Trustee, which provides free college education to all students worldwide.
 

The way he expertizes himself in Bitcoin, people started calling him the Bitcoin bull, he is the most optimistic person when it comes to Bitcoin. He expects the entrepreneur to keep buying Bitcoin every time it dips. The bitcoin community has begun to rise to the fact that his company might own too much bitcoin. Owning too large a portion of bitcoin could be harmful to the cryptocurrency’s decentralized culture that Bitcoin has so rigorously built over the years. He is still expected to be a principal BTC champion throughout the year. Instructing businesses about Bitcoin potentially through his powerful podcasts and learning courses.

shared his ambitious long-term forecast for Bitcoin. He predicted that while Bitcoin’s annual growth rate might slow from 55% to 20% by 2045, its value could still skyrocket to an impressive $13 million per coin. This optimistic outlook coincides with Bitcoin recently surpassing $68,000.

significant Bitcoin holdings. Over the past four years, the company has accumulated 226,331 BTC, now valued at around $15 billion.

Hash Ribbons Signal Buy!

The hash ribbons indicator, which tracks Bitcoin’s hash rate moving averages, has just issued a buy signal. This indicator has only flashed a buy signal once in the past year and three times over the last two years, each time leading to a rise in price. The latest signal suggests Bitcoin might see more positive price movement soon.

Bitcoin Conference & The Crypto Impact

The recent surge in the crypto market is driven by the excitement surrounding the Bitcoin Conference 2024 and former President Donald Trump’s Speech. David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, speculates that Bitcoin could reach new highs during Trump’s speech at the event.

Some experts think Trump might use this platform to propose Bitcoin as a “strategic reserve” asset for the U.S. government.

BlackRock’s Focus on Bitcoin and Ethereum

In a related panel discussion titled “From Strategy to Innovation: BlackRock’s Bitcoin Journey,” Robert Mitchnick, head of digital assets at BlackRock, highlights that the firm’s clients show a strong preference for Bitcoin, followed by Ethereum, with limited interest in other digital assets. 

Mitchnick also noted that BlackRock does not plan to significantly expand its range of crypto ETFs beyond these two major assets.

Bitcoin’s Technical Outlook

Looking at Bitcoin’s daily chart, there has been a recent rise in demand near the 100-day moving average, leading to a significant rebound. However, Bitcoin is currently facing resistance between $67,000 and $68,300. If it breaks through this resistance, it could move towards its all-time high of $72,000 and possibly reach $100,000.

Meanwhile, the launch of spot Ethereum ETFs, which saw a net inflow of $106.6 million on their first day, has boosted interest in Ethereum. Ethereum’s price has been holding above the 100-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bullish trend. With the new ETH ETFs, upward momentum is expected to continue, and a breakout above $3,400 could drive its price to $3,700.
