Bitcoin is often dismissed as a bubble with no real use. On the PBD Podcast, Michael Saylor explained why Bitcoin actually solves a deep problem in human history. Let’s break it down.
Saylor describes Bitcoin as a new means by which human beings store what he calls economic energy in a clean and reliable form.
Bitcoin vs the “Tulip Bubble” Argument
Saylor starts by addressing a common criticism. There are those who argue that Bitcoin is the Dutch tulip bubble, hype with no substance. They argue that if Bitcoin disappeared tomorrow, most people’s lives would stay the same.

Saylor pushes back. He says many life-changing technologies looked useless at first. People once lived short, painful lives and didn’t even know why. They thought early death was normal.
Clean Energy Changed Human Life
Saylor explains history in simple terms. Humans began living longer not by luck, but through technology. Clean water, clean food, electricity, medicine, and energy changed everything. Before these advances, people died young. Infant mortality was high. Even rich people drank contaminated wine because water was unsafe. The problem wasn’t biology; it was dirty systems. In Saylor’s view, money today has the same problem. It is “dirty,” broken, and unstable.
Why Money Keeps Failing
Saylor points out that most companies fail within 10 to 15 years. He compares this to how people once accepted high child mortality as “normal.” Over time, technology fixed that. But money never got the same upgrade.
Michael Saylor says Bitcoin is “the king apex asset, the root asset which everything else is settled on.”

Throughout history, people have been killed, displaced, or forced to flee because their money failed them. From religious wars to refugees escaping authoritarian states, weak money systems caused real suffering. This, Saylor says, proves that money does not store value well.
Bitcoin as Stored Economic Energy
Here’s where Bitcoin comes in. Saylor uses a biological example. Humans store organic energy as fat. Without it, the body breaks down. In the same way, societies need a way to store economic energy. Gold tried to do this, but it failed too often. History is full of inflation, currency collapse, and lost wealth.
According to Saylor, Bitcoin finally solves this. It is digital, scarce, and not controlled by any single group. That makes Bitcoin a clean and durable store of economic energy.
“The last 90 days are just an opportunity for someone that’s got clear eyes to buy more Bitcoin.” – Michael Saylor
While price chops, Bitcoin gains:
• Banking acceptance
• Regulatory clarity
• Institutional custody railsThis is how Bitcoin wins. pic.twitter.com/qjWmIP3Ivi

Conclusion
Michael Saylor’s message is simple: Bitcoin is a new technology for storing economic energy over time. Just as clean water and energy extended human life, Saylor believes Bitcoin can protect human effort, savings, and freedom in a way no system has ever done before.
