Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

First, we did equity.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And then the middle period was bonds.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

convertible bonds we were became the biggest issue of convertible bonds in the world and we maxed out that market and now we're in the credit stage where you're seeing the formation of credit instruments like strc or sata and that's really tapping into pure fixed income and and you know i i think that that's actually got much greater legs like this idea that i'm going to convert

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

I'm going to convert a highly volatile 30 AR asset into a non-volatile 10 AR asset, right?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

That's a very, very powerful idea.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And there's no reason why that can't be billions a month and then tens of billions a month and then hundreds of billions a month.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And so I've really got my eye on that dynamic.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

There's two dynamics, right?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

The formation of digital credit from public companies

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And the second is the formation of bank credit networks from the too big to fail banks, right?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Those are the two large sources of capital that will drive the next phase of development of the entire network.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

If you walk down the street and you ask 100 people,

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Would you like a crypto asset that's got a 50 vol that's been returning 37% or 40% a year for the past five years?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Like one or two out of 100 will say, yeah, and you have to talk to them for 100 hours.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

It takes a while, right?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

If you then ask the people, would you like to buy a Bitcoin-backed bond, a 20-year bond that pays you 10%?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Like 20, okay, well, there's some principal protection, but it's a 20-year bond.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

How many people do you know have 30-year bonds in their portfolio or 20-year corporate bonds in their portfolio?

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

Not so many.

Bankless
"Fix the Money, Fix the World" โ€” Michael Saylor's Master Plan (plus questions on Quantum and Ethereum)

And then you say, well, would you like a convertible bond that's got some equity upside and it's a 10-year bond with a conversion rate?
