He emphasized that this volatility is an essential part of the economy what makes Bitcoin unique and valuable in the long term.
“Bitcoin’s volatility is a feature, not a bug.”
Furthermore, in a recent interview with BloombergSaylor revealed that he personally owns 17,732 BTC and emphasized that he has not parted with any of these digital assets.
“I keep acquiring more and more. I think it is a great capital investment for an individual, family, institutional company or country. I can’t think of a better place to put my money.”

Peter Schiff Ignores the Value of Bitcoin
However, not everyone shares Saylor’s enthusiasm for BTC. Peter Schiffa well-known financial expert, remains skeptical about the value of Bitcoin.
In a recent YouTube discussion, Schiff openly questioned whether BTC has any real value, saying:
“I’m open-minded, but I’m also smart and honest.”
He emphasized that despite numerous efforts from Bitcoin enthusiasts, he has yet to hear a compelling argument that convinces him to embrace the cryptocurrency.
What awaits BTC?
Moreover, with the RSI still below the neutral level, it is uncertain whether BTC will break past the $60,000 mark or continue to encounter resistance before a possible bull run.
However, the widening Bollinger Bands indicate increasing volatility, which could indicate a bullish shift in the near future.
