According to TechFlow, on December 17, in the latest episode of Cointelegraph's "Chain Reaction" program, Bitcoin economist Saifedean Ammous interpreted Michael Saylor's Bitcoin philosophy. He stated that Saylor does not view Bitcoin directly as "currency," but rather positions Strategy's role as processing "crude oil-like Bitcoin" into various forms of financial assets, allowing more people to access Bitcoin in diversified ways. Saifedean believes that this approach does not change Bitcoin's monetary attributes: theoretically, Bitcoin itself is both currency and asset; against the backdrop of continuous fiat expansion and long-term debt incentives, various financial instruments around Bitcoin will continue to emerge, but their foundation remains the ongoing purchase and holding of Bitcoin as "pure capital." He concluded that as Bitcoin's scale expands and cash balances concentrate into Bitcoin, Bitcoin will eventually naturally evolve into currency itself.
