CEO of MicroStrategy Michael Saylor, replied to Musk’s tweet, claiming that: “USD consumer inflation will continue near all time highs, and asset inflation will run at double the rate of consumer inflation.
USD consumer inflation will continue near all time highs, and asset inflation will run at double the rate of consumer inflation. Weaker currencies will collapse, and the flight of capital from cash, debt, & value stocks to scarce property like #bitcoin will intensify.

Musk further claimed that, when inflation is high, it is generally better to own physical assets such as a home, or stock in companies that people think make good products, rather than dollars, and noted that he would not be selling his Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) or Dogecoin (DOGE).
