According to Microstrategy's CEO Michael Saylor <\/a>China has made its biggest mistake by implementing the crackdown on mining. <\/h5>\n\n\n\n
\"Crypto<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the last two months of correction, MicroStrategy CEO Michael Saylor has been aggressively accumulating Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cloud computing company bought another 13,000 bitcoins earlier this week, bringing its total BTC holdings to above 100,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Bloomberg, Saylor, who believes Bitcoin has a bright future\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>, China's crackdown on cryptocurrencies might be a “trillion-dollar error.” Saylor told Bloomberg in an interview:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe primary dynamic (driving the market) is the China exodus. There\u2019s a forced and there\u2019s a rushed exodus of capital and mining from China that was a bit of a surprise. china had 50% market share of Bitcoin and they were generating 10 billion dollars a year growing at 100% year-over-year. I think that given the growth rate of Bitcoin this will prove to be a trillion dollar mistake\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to Saylor, the Chinese crackdown has resulted in a surge of Bitcoin miners in North America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bloomberg executive inquired, “What if this isn't a dip?” and “How much has the firm considered the risk of a prolonged slide?” in reference to MicroStrategy's recent aggressive purchases over the last several weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saylor responded that the purchases span a period of more than ten years. He also compares it to the smartphone revolution of the previous ten years. Saylor continued, “<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBitcoin<\/a> is the dematerialization of property. We are sucking the value out of gold, real estate, and other property assets, and collectibles and art, we are putting them on a blockchain and we\u2019re giving out to the people. It\u2019s a long term trend, it's a million times more efficient than holding your property around on your back\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saylor also feels that the Biden administration's new regulators are more progressive and knowledgeable about Bitcoin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There has been a major outflow of miners from China to North America and portions of Europe as a result of a nationwide crackdown by Chinese officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The BTC hashrate has dropped by more than 40% in the previous month as a result of some miners disconnecting their mining rigs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

North American locations such as Texas and Miami are proving to be popular choices for miners looking to establish a base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Miami Mayor Francis Suarez is focusing on establishing facilities to provide crypto miners with excess nuclear power sustainable energy options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, miners who have entirely ceased operations are now selling their mining rigs at a significant discount.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mining manufacturers have been severely harmed as a result of this. As a result, Bitmain<\/a> Technologies recently stated that global Antminer sales would be halted.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
