Saylor: Sell Everything Else Before You Sell Your Bitcoin!

Strategy founder Michael Saylor used a May 21 interview with When Shift Happens to make one of his most vivid cases yet for Bitcoin as the ultimate long-duration store of value. When liquidity is needed, he argued, investors should liquidate shorter-lived assets first — real estate, equities, luxury goods — and treat Bitcoin as the last line to cross.

Saylor framed selling Bitcoin to fund lifestyle spending as a generational mistake, comparing it to an ancestor trading away a family fortune for a fancy carriage. The analogy is pointed: the carriage rots, the wealth is gone, and future generations inherit nothing.
