About the time Saylor told Minecraft to buy Bitcoin

When YouTube mega-creator MrBeast tweeted on X, “What happens to creators’ jobs when AI videos really reach the same level as regular videos?”, MicroStrategy Chairman Michael Saylor replied with just one line.

“Buy Bitcoin, MrBeast.”

The timing was perfect. BTC had just hit a new all-time high at $125,689. You could really sense how serious Saylor is.

But seriously, should you buy BTC now?

Institutional investor interest is off the charts

• Bitcoin asset fund holdings: 3.88 million BTC (all-time high)
• BTC ETF inflows: $3.3 billion just last week, $24 billion over the past year, $60 billion total (new record)
• Gold also broke $39,000 for an all-time high at the same time → Basically, money is fleeing to both gold and BTC due to political uncertainty

Price prediction rationale Some US government agencies have partially shut down, halting traditional financial market data reporting. To avoid that uncertainty, overseas investors are also moving into BTC. Standard Chartered predicts “$135,000 this week” (currently $124,000 → $11,000 upside potential).

But check this before you buy

1. Do you even understand how Bitcoin works? → If not, study first
2. Are you okay with losing your entire investment? → If not, don’t do it
3. Have you decided to HODL or short-term trade? → Make a strategy before buying

Crypto is extremely volatile. Saylor’s advice is worth considering, but ultimately it’s your own decision. BTC is definitely in a favorable environment right now, but make sure you understand the risks.
