by that definition, beside your local currency, there is no other currency (almost anywhere with couple of exceptions). your stable coins will be taxable at exchange rate the moment you spend them because if you were to hold foreign currency, the moment you spent it would be taxable event.
Just never convert it. Use it.
I wanted to reach in and put that Coke can on a coaster.
🙋🏾♂️hearing ya
Tether is obviously a scam. Why is he shilling it?
Yeah I was baffled with his Tether comments, honestly not too big a fan of this guy tho
Because Maxi's change the narrative as they go in order to pump their bags
@@kevinconroy6606 hes bummed he missed out on the dog coins haha
How is it a scam?
@@griesrt Read up on it....been almost ready to fall apart for some time.....actually when it fails, it will drive down the price of btc and eth for a short while.
"Im very important...I have many leather-bound books, and my apartment..umm..smells of mahogany".
🤣🤣🤣
Interesting how he has nothing to say about Tradfi merging with DeFi. Which blockchain is best for that Mike?
First time I see Michael Saylor talking out of Bitcoin 😅
I heard Loopring is pretty neat. NFA
Can’t you just create a currency that’s tied to bitcoin instead of the dollar so that each coin can only be exchanged for bitcoin/satoshis, just like fed reserve notes were tied to exchangeable for gold?
UST just overtook BUSD. How high can it go?
lol
So what’s the answer?
Doge obviously
I was hoping for an interesting answer and we got a great discussion. Go Saylor!
i think luna and ust have a good chance at staying on the top
😂😂😂
@@walidhr91 hahahaha this did not age very well hey
There is no second best
I am glad someone has the sense to say it! This space is so Toxic with Maxis....we should all just try and respect each project for what it is or trying to be!
cause its not the best at all, its the first but can never be the best
Nobody knows which will come out on top but I can guarantee you that any top 10 crypto will be a better investment than USD in even 2-3 years time. Diversify and you'll be happy no matter the victor.
maybe
Yeah, but they are unnecessary.
If you want to sacrafice some decentralization and security for convenience and speed, you can do it on layer 2.
And it's better to do it on layer 2 because people can easily call bullsh1t on predatory systems and just qyickly jump to Bitcoin for final settlement.
Maxis make me sick
Million Token is the most undervalued at the moment ;)
Cardano is my bet. Interesting to see how this ages!
well
It’s not aging well lol
I like cardano, doing a lot of good work in Africa. Solana would be my #1 bc of the DePIN movement. Solana is going to disrupt and possibly replace Apple. ADA is a close #2 though.
I think people always want more than 2 things 1 is property the other one is stable coin the other one is a finicial platform to lend borrow money cheap with other words cardano a better utxo model than all other utxo or i may say it,s different
eth
Doesn’t Bitcoin in El Salvador use algorand as payment rails
Bitcoin maxis dont understand the class of cryptos like XRP, XLM, ALGO and XDC. Completely oblivious.
Why would we care? None of them are decentralized and they don't solve the worlds biggest problem like Bitcoin does @@patricksuwala4090
I love that set room Lex! It suits you well
I thinks it’s Saylors place
Yeah it’s saylor’s office in his home
Its saylors home
XRP
Just to give everybody heads up Michael Saylor is not familiar with the technical aspects of crypto he’s an investor
He’s an aerospace engineer. Probably understands it way better than you
@@christopherlopez3549 why would that be?
@@sawitonline7998 Watch more of his interviews and you'll realise he also understands the technical aspects.
What makes you say he's not familiar with the technical aspects of crypto?
@@kittendkat5100 He’s more into the fundamental nature of crypto not into the technical aspects that differentiates singular cryptocurrencies to become worldwide adoptable. There are thousands of cryptocurrency’s and as an investor you cannot know all the minute details of each one , so Michael Saylor breaks it down fundamentally and discovered bitcoin to be the most therefoe investing in it.
To ask him a question as what is the second best or more likely to succeed is quite unfair because he would have to know all the technical details of every cryptocurrency to give a correct answer. I’m actually defending him because nobody could answer that question without knowing all the technical aspects of all the cryptocurrency’s.
Cardano
I just don’t get how they didn’t even mention Xrp
Why not discuss the ISO compliant projects ??????🤨
because crypto is vast and everything can’t be discussed
I have 5 words.
There is NO SECOND BEST! 💪🔥
Monero.
Because a transparent base layer will eventually come back to haunt us.
Lmao
@@teomcmeo8905 true. McAfee had a very good argument along those lines.
@@Evanderj When the internet was built privacy wasn't really a consideration. Hence today why we have such an issue with surveillance on the internet. We can use all the encryption tools we want on top of the internet (TOR, pgp, etc) but will never achieve what an encrypted base-layer could.
Apply this to crypto. You can use whatever tools on top (mixers, Wasabi, coinjoin) of crypto that you want to increase privacy...but inevitably they will never be as strong as what an encrypted base layer coin can provide.
Why Monero specifically and not other privacy coins? Because it actually works.
The IRS doesn't have a $700,000 bounty on Monero's head for nothing.
@@ofjhhibjib56673 You mean that entirely centralized not-an-actual blockchain that has almost zero censorship resistance? You mean that one?
You bought XRP because it was cheap thinking you were getting in on the next BTC.
Spoiler alert: You were mistaken.
Ask yourself this: What is the actual point of a blockchain?
Why keep mentioning Polkadot,with Interoperability..when Quant (Qnt) is the King 👑 of Interoperability... which will join everything together with Overledger Blockchain Networks. Also less tokenomics than Bitcoin. So maybe second to Bitcoin.
Xrp??? Bet
centralized scam coin
6:12 Doge is inflationary 🤣🤣🤣🤣 it’s a cool meme though
Just about all currencies have to be because the population grows. The problem is when you get some yahoo and power that explained the supply exponentially.
@@masterfarmscannabis2362 yes, but only stable coins are meant to be a medium of exchange. Crypto assets, like BTC, etc, are store of value to fight off debasement of USD or insert w/e currency. Crypto assets that are inflationary literally defeat the purpose of any hedge against inflation as they inflate more than fiat lmao
This the guy that said take out a loan on your house and full port bitcoin at its highs???
Yes, why would you not?
@@thenikkidixxyou’re right. Buying at the top is a great strategy
and you think bitcoin at $40,000 is the top ???
if you did that this summer you'd have doubled and if you were worried you could payoff your whole mortgage from there and hodl the remainder.
Monero is a better bitcoin based on privacy
You are wrong.
I like Monero, but can't buy it on every exchange. Bank implications for wireing money. Also not very many hardware wallet options.
@@chosen167 Ledger and Trezor support Monero, what are you talking about?
yes monero is bitcoin on steroid and would be the best to replace cash
Algorand 🚀
Nano
Cardano .. hands down
HEALTH IS YOUR WEALTH CRYPTO IS YOUR FREEDOM
The world will come to know Nervos Network.
Blows my mind how Chainlink is forever slept on. Probably the most important project in the entire space
Quant
Have to agree, Chainlink is thoroughly outmatched by Quant. Their intended use case is extremely important
@@tommystratpaul I really don't see the two as competitors. You could argue that Quant's interoperability COULD outclass Chainlink's CCIP, but we won't know for some time. Unfortunately for your agument, Chainlink not only offers a decentralized oracle network and interoperability, but also data feeds, VRF, keepers, proof of reserves, DECO, and whatever the geniuses over at CL come up with in the coming years. And it already secures over $70b. A lot of DeFi 's success and stability can be attributed to chainlink. To say it's "thoroughly outmatched by Quant" is patently false.
Diamonds are forever
Ergo looking good
Ethereum obviously.
UST from terra is the ultimate stable coin, and only decentralized stable coin with ability to tokenize all fiats. it will be the future of FOREX
I now prefer to buy mainly bitcoin and Ethereum on Bitfinex. For me, these are the two most promising crypto currencies.
What is Guy Pearce doing here???
MM 🚀
Monero Gang
It is what people think Bitcoin is.
Pulse Chain , PulseX
Is a gamble. Do better research
XrP no competition
Correct. Let them all be wrong
My poor friends told me to buy XRP. My smart friends told me to buy BTC. XRP has gone from .25 to .60 in 5 years… BTC has gone from 4500 to 71k in the same time…
Can’t fix stupid…
@@joeb.3931 lool omg I can’t believe I wore this so long ago… man I sold my bag … bought iotex with it and in the last 4-6 months have made so much profit… iotex is doing wonders in the DePin world…
Talking about Doge and securities...how all is speculation, Michael actually described BTC. 😅
Ikai Inu stealth launched yesterday on uniswap doxxed dev based og xxx
but but hes a bot
Digital dollar USD
Solana is #2 for me
Tether!!!! No way
UST is the solution
Saylor,I thought you were clever when it came to finances
USDC NOT USDT
BSV
Michael Saylor resembles the actor Guy Pearce
Dogecoin is valuable insofar that it continues to grow by people USING it (Not by people Holding it)! The difference is that Bitcoin is inherently valuable by its digital creation, it is IMMEDIATELY valuable, And it becomes MORE Valuable as more hold it. It will become even MORE VALUABLE as it continues to be used in Big transactions in global commerce.
Doge inflates a set max coin mint of about 5 billion per year through POW. Thus today it’s inflation rate is around 3.7% vs it’s supply if 138 billion. As time goes the inflation rate as a percentage actually decreases because it’s set mint of 5 billion coins per year vs the total in circulation. Just want to clear that up for anyone that doesn’t understand Doge.
Good explanation. Much doge.
Wow!
Is that good or bad
@@charlesbox5410 bad, more supply=less scarce, lower prices.
illuvium - genuinely one of the best tokenomics and opportunities in crypto.
Haha worst tokenomics 😂😂😂
@@futbot6677 so you obviously don't know what tokenomics actually means it would seem
@@user-ld8nx3fn1c do you know the inflation of ilv?
@@futbot6677 do you know what inflation is?
Ilv has fixed supply of 10,000,000 tokens
Btc has fixed supply of 21,000,000 tokens
Both have a release schedule for those tokens.
Dodge coin in inflationary by something like 5% per year.
Eth through the new mechanism is meant to be deflationary.
Come to think of it illuvium has a burn mechanism when people claim and spend Silv2 of land or illuvitars, so it's actually deflationary.
If you don't know what a word means please don't just through it around and start spreading lies.
@@user-ld8nx3fn1c 400 something percent inflation per year in iluvium is one hell of a sell pressure and price surpresor. Would recommend invest answeres video on metaverse tokens incl. ilc
It seems that every time I hear Michael Saylor speaks, I arrive at the same conclusion: this guy is a finance expert.
XRP, XLM, XDC
Whatever you do Lex, don’t say Xrp. Ripple is only fighting the SEC for all of the crypto projects out there.
They must know
Oh the coin that all these already rich btc people never want to mention?? 🤔
The money is in the altcoins with a good use case it’s too late getting into btc for average Joe investors not unless u want to dca and hold btc for ur kids future, but to retire for some of us late bloomers we have to take risks on the right alt coins and hold for dear life.
He talks around the question having his heavy BTC bags in mind. Stable coins still gonna need a decentralized platform to run on it, and the most valid option is Cardano which shares robustness, philosophy, monetary policy and accounting model with BTC .
You don’t want to run it on something centralized and VC owned like avax, or very expensive as eth.
Cardano has a foundation too though and is centralized
@@BIGGOODBOY only on governance level, while it has one of the most decentralized block production and coin ownership. Moreover, Cardano aims to become decentralized on governance level next year and is one of the few projects taking governance seriously, see catalyst voting and treasury being already implemented.
We should remember that early BTC was also quite centralized on governance and block production level with initially only satoshi and very few miners mining it, and having the hash power to make all changes they wanted
@@marcind4644 good to know. I own some already and was planning on buying more if there’s a bigger dip. I should do more research on their goals
ADA♥️
bitcoin : "see you in 4 years"
I believe that ALGORAND will be a competitor in the future for financial institutions. Carbon negative, pure proof of stake, practical real world applications, zero downtime, scalable, etc. Not to mention extremely low transaction speeds and near instant finality.
I believe you are right.
ALGORAND worth nothing ...
What are the practical real world applications?
Shitty tokenomics though
Until people realize that carbon isn't the Boogeyman
Hex
Ummm Hex and PulseX, PulseChain obviously!!
Tether?.....Just do 1 hour of research into Tether.....
CELR is next
How can you guys not even mention $XRP I will never know.
It's under a cloud at the moment but it won't be forever.
What’s so good about XRP?
Proof lex is full of shit and is just another agenda pusher for the masses… Xrp is life changing and if you don’t know lex you better figure out asap because the feds are about to flip that switch soooonn!!! 🤣💸
Of course it is SOL , the only chain that does all Building and transactions fast and cheap
this is the first commnet
He knows damn well XRP is the stable coin
I dont think it'll be quick but Algorand will be well known some time this decade.
Agreed
I like DigiByte as well
Algorand without question
ETH #2
I’m not convinced.
Gangsters use cash,
Gangsters use crypto.
I grow food.
At least Fridman recognised one of the real future champions of this sector when mentioning Polkadot.
Notice how he mentioned Cardano after ETH
A stablecoin dollar? Pff please. Not when the printer goes brrrrrrrrr.
What a bullsht pendanticly stating that anything not connected to the dollar is by definition is not a currency but property.
💯% Accurate friend....the dollar is about to crash and burn!
Cardano! Why is no one talking about Cardano??
tihscoin
I’d love to see a debate with saylor and Charles hoskinson
No mention of xrp? Lex this would be an interesting cryptocurrency to discuss. Maybe with Brad Garglinghouse or David Swartz!
No it wouldnt. Centralized shitcoin.
I sold all my XRP after realizing that David Schwartz isn't as intelligent as he portrays himself.
Either lex is just a sheep or a shill for the establishment. Not even mentioning xrp? All those relationships with the financial system and no coverage… sooo bullish!! This is why the flip of the switch event will happen! If you are not buying iso20022 tokens you will miss out on the next bull run of a lifetime. Lex pull your head out of the sand and give the masses what they deserve!! Xrp awareness is a life changer for everyone
@@miketee4158 Schwartz worked on btc.
@@miketee4158 read what you just wrote smh
Tether= titanic
When it crashes its going to bring a huge bear market
No, the effect will be the opposite of this.
Why?
As USDT crashes, people will flee out of it into any other coin they can get their hands on. Holders of Tether will be buying BTC at a major premium just to get out.
When Mt Gox went down, we saw a similar phenomenon with BTC on Gox versus BTC off Gox.
If you're holding Tether in a world with far better stablecoin options (USDC, Gemini Dollar) you deserve to lose it the same way the idiots that left their coins on Mt Gox had SO MANY WARNING SIGNS and ignored them.
Source: Been around a long time
Stablecoins will make you rich.
Tether has made a lot of people very wealthy.
how? isnt it just worth $1 always?
Tether is a house of cards looking more and more likely to fall with every passing day
Ergo is the best crypto period, yes even better than both Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Cardano. Do some research on it, it has every single quality bitcoin has and it does everything better and keeps innovating.
it doesn’t matter
CARDANO.
Tether is a fucking scam. Not even backed one to one.
SOL 🔥🔥🔥
XRP *ahem*
That'll be HEX. Unbelievable that the best designed crypto is still gatekept. Well, keep on missing the gains then.
Hex next big thing
Cardano hands down
Its funny how Lex starts taking notes when Michael starts talking about Dogecoin.
perfect answer. "coins" = gambling. bitcoin = saving
It's all software.
@@johnnyroman3888 you children always repeat the same drivel, huh? No one is forcing you to buy it, which is great for us. You don’t have to believe anything. It will still keep going up as your “backed” currencies continue to inflate into obscurity. And it’s too funny to watch you squirm.
@@johnnyroman3888 why don't you watch the full video for yourself and do your own research? Michael saylor is richer and smarter than both of us - let him explain to you.
The only value bitcoin has is dummies that think "number go up cause other monkies think number go up" smart contract coins are entire financial systems that allow you to actually make bitcoin useable other than "haha i have number in my number wallet, dats value"
@@JallyJam Yes, smart contract systems on only useful to move around other non-corruptible currencies like Bitcoin. Without it, the crypto market wouldn't exist. If Bitcoin fails, they all fail.
Is Lex asking Saylor to pump his Doge bags?
lex pro dogeee 🤣🤣🤣🚀🚀
Incoming salesperson for all other coins…..
