‘You Need Bitcoin More Than Bitcoin Needs You’, Says Binance’s CZ, as Saylor Warns: ‘Never Sell Your Bitcoin’

As Bitcoin captures global interest, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) and MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor continue to share their unwavering support.

Here’s a closer look at their latest perspectives on Bitcoin, its future, and why they believe it’s more important than ever.

CZ: You Need Bitcoin More Than Bitcoin Needs You

Binance’s Changpeng Zhao has long been a vocal advocate for Bitcoin. His latest tweets show just how strongly he believes in its long-term potential.

In a tweet today, he shared an “unpopular opinion,” stating, “You need Bitcoin more than Bitcoin needs you.”

This perspective indicates the idea that Bitcoin, as a decentralized and self-sustaining system, does not rely on individual users or investors to survive or thrive. Essentially, it is bigger than any one person.

Meanwhile, in an earlier commentary, CZ emphasized Bitcoin’s permanence, saying, “Politicians change, Bitcoin stays.”

He believes Bitcoin represents a stable and immutable asset that individuals should prioritize in a world of changing government policies.

Notably, Zhao openly calls for governments to adopt Bitcoin as part of their strategic reserve. He humorously suggested that the last government to buy Bitcoin might face astronomical prices, depending on how much other countries print money to buy it first.

Essentially, if governments wait too long, they could be paying millions for a single Bitcoin.

Staying Focused: The Key to Bitcoin’s Success

Meanwhile, CZ has emphasized the value of holding Bitcoin for the long term. He noted that those who have held for over four years are largely profitable. “I do not know anyone who lost money on Bitcoin by holding for 4+ years,” he said.

However, he cautioned that past success does not guarantee future results. In parallel, CZ encouraged enthusiasts to stay focused, learn, and not be distracted by short-term market fluctuations.

I do not know anyone who lost money on bitcoin (or BNB) by holding for 4+ years.

(not that this guarantees anything about the future.)

Michael Saylor: Bitcoin is the Ultimate Store of Value

MicroStrategy chairman Michael Saylor, a renowned Bitcoin accumulator, is just as bullish as CZ on Bitcoin—or even more. Both see Bitcoin as much more than just a speculative asset.

In various tweets, Saylor reiterated his belief that Bitcoin is the ultimate store of value, stating simply, “Never sell your Bitcoin.”

He argues that Bitcoin should be viewed as property, especially in light of a recent DOJ argument suggesting money is not property. For context, the Department of Justice recently argued that money isn’t truly property, suggesting the government could seize it at will.

In his response, Saylor made a compelling case that Bitcoin is, in fact, property and should be protected as such.

Furthermore, Saylor promotes the idea of borrowing vast amounts to buy Bitcoin and calls for U.S. states to establish strategic Bitcoin reserves. For context, MicroStrategy itself holds over 471K BTC, investing more than $30 billion over the past four years.

His message is clear: Bitcoin is the future and is worth everything. Everyone will eventually want it, making it a smart long-term move. 

“Bitcoin is worth all the money in the world,” Saylor says, expressing confidence that, in the future, Bitcoin will be everyone’s priority. And by that time, it could be even more expensive.
