- CZ and Saylor double down on Bitcoin’s future—“You need Bitcoin,” “Never sell.”
- Despite market volatility, both believe Bitcoin is the ultimate long-term store of value.
Following a previous sentiment shared by CNF highlighting that Binance’s CZ dismisses $100K Bitcoin as ‘boring,’ Bitcoin continues to grab global attention. Two of the most prominent figures in the crypto world—Changpeng Zhao (CZ), the founder of Binance, and Michael Saylor, the chairman of MicroStrategy—are doubling down on their unwavering belief in Bitcoin’s future.
CZ’s Bold Assertion: “You Need Bitcoin More Than Bitcoin Needs You”
In a tweet, Changpeng Zhao, ever the outspoken advocate for Bitcoin, recently shared a bold, almost provocative thought: “You need Bitcoin more than Bitcoin needs you.” This reflects his deep conviction that Bitcoin is a decentralized and self-sustaining system that will thrive regardless of individual players.

You need bitcoin more than bitcoin needs you.

According to CZ, Bitcoin is larger than any single person, and its future is secure, even as the world of government and politics shifts.
However, CZ also made a strong case for Bitcoin’s role in government reserves, warning that the longer governments wait to buy Bitcoin, the more expensive it will become. As countries continue to print money, those late to the game may end up paying astronomical prices for a single Bitcoin.
Saylor’s Ultimate Confidence: “Never Sell Your Bitcoin”
Meanwhile, Michael Saylor’s belief in Bitcoin is even more resolute. As one of the largest institutional Bitcoin holders, Saylor insists that Bitcoin is the “ultimate store of value” and that people should “never sell” their Bitcoin. For him, Bitcoin isn’t just an investment—it’s property. He argues that Bitcoin, unlike traditional money, should be seen as a protected asset, especially in light of recent legal debates about whether money truly qualifies as property.
Nevertheless, Saylor also promotes a daring strategy: borrowing heavily to buy Bitcoin, which he views as a future-proof, long-term store of wealth. MicroStrategy itself holds over 471,000 BTC, valued at over $30 billion. For Saylor, Bitcoin isn’t just a speculative asset; it’s the future of finance.
A Unified Vision: Bitcoin’s Enduring Value
Both CZ and Saylor share a vision: Bitcoin will only become more valuable over time. While the market may fluctuate in the short term, their message is clear—Bitcoin isn’t just a trend; it’s a permanent fixture in the financial landscape, and holding it for the long term is the smartest move anyone can make.
As of now, Bitcoin (BTC) is trading at $99,579, having increased by 4.43% in the past day but showing a downturn of 2.98% over the past week. See the BTC price chart below.
