As a common principle, Musk said it's better to have physical properties such as a home or stock in firms than USD in the case of high inflation. Musk added that he owns and won't sell his BTC, Ether, or DOGE for what it's worth.

The CEO of Microstrategy, Michael Saylor replied to Musk's tweet saying that weaker currencies are going to fail. Meanwhile, scarce properties like BTC will grow in popularity. Musk found it isn’t surprising that Saylor would think so.

Saylor is a huge Bitcoin supporter and investing in Bitcoin is a part of MicroStrategy’s business strategy. In the last 24 hours, the total crypto market cap increased by 0.35% and currently stands at around $1,75 trillion. Bitcoin trades at over $39,100.
