On Sunday, Musk asked his followers for their thoughts on the probable inflation rates over the next few years.

Co-founder of MicrosStrategy, Michael Saylor, responded to Musk and predicated that inflation will near “all time highs” also noting that “weaker currencies will collapse” and the “flight of capital from cash, debt, & value stocks to scarce property like #bitcoin.”

Musk responded back saying that Saylor’s prediction was not “entirely unpredictable” before offering sage advice.

As a general principle, for those looking for advice from this thread, it is generally better to own physical things like a home or stock in companies you think make good products, than dollars when inflation is high.

I still own & won’t sell my Bitcoin, Ethereum or Doge fwiw.
