Bitcoin (BTC) has faced headwinds in recent months, but that hasn’t stopped true believers like Michael Saylor from singing its praises. At the recent BTC Prague conference, Saylor, a vocal advocate for the digital asset, offered a sky-high prediction for its future value: a staggering $8 million per coin.
Saylor’s bullishness wasn’t born overnight. Bitcoin analyst Luke Broyles highlights Saylor’s past skepticism, recalling a time when BTC was priced at a mere $892. Back then, Saylor missed the boat. But after delving deeper into Bitcoin’s technology and potential, he eventually bought in at $9,500. This experience led to Saylor’s now-famous quote: “Everyone gets Bitcoin at the price they deserve.” The underlying message? Bitcoin’s long-term value is undeniable, and those who understand it will be rewarded.
Saylor isn’t just targeting retail investors; he’s urging big companies to embrace Bitcoin too. He sees its inherent value and potential for future growth as compelling reasons to invest.
So, how does Saylor see Bitcoin reaching $8 million? He suggests that even at $950,000, some investors might wait for a dip to $700,000 before buying in. However, Saylor warns, this hesitation could lead them to miss out on a meteoric rise to $8 million or even higher.
Political and economic turmoil are also seen as catalysts for Bitcoin adoption. Broyles points out that Saylor referenced historical events like World War II and Communism in his Prague speech. In such times of crisis, Bitcoin, with its decentralized nature, could be a more attractive option than traditional assets like houses, stocks, or even gold.
Another key differentiator for Saylor is ownership. He argues that Bitcoin is the only asset where holders have true control. Unlike traditional assets, where governing authorities and collective human agreements determine property rights, Bitcoin empowers individuals.

Saylor even goes so far as to call Bitcoin a “ticket to escape the matrix.” He views the current economic system, reliant on GDP, CPI, and quantitative easing, as a fabricated reality. Bitcoin, according to him, offers a way to break free from this manipulated system, with its value independent of traditional economic metrics.
While the short-term outlook for Bitcoin might be uncertain, currently trading around $66,610, Saylor’s prediction paints a wildly optimistic picture for the long term. For those who believe in Bitcoin’s potential, the current price point could be a golden opportunity to get on board.
