Michael Saylor compares Bitcoin to Manhattan real estate

Saylor explained that 100 years from now, people will still buy Manhattan real estate at more expensive prices than today’s market rates.
“Manhattan real estate is really expensive in 1930. It’s a lot more expensive than 1830. Well, you know, 100 years later we’ll still be buying it, and we will be paying a lot more. The only issue is can you hold it for that time period because people are gonna wanna buy it.”
