1/ I watched and analyzed the full Michael Saylor keynote at #BTCPrague – and it was an absolute masterclass.
🔥 Bitcoin. Time. Generational wealth.
Here are the most powerful moments from a billionaire who sold his chairs (literally) to buy ₿. Strap in. 🧵 2/ Saylor predicts Bitcoin will grow ~29% annually over the next 21 years, reaching $13M per coin.

He says: stop thinking in 2-year cycles. Build a 21-year Bitcoin machine.
