Revealing his investments in Bitcoin, ether, and dogecoin, Renowned billionaire Elon Musk said that he “won’t sell” his cryptocurrency holdings in a Twitter thread asking a question on the possible rate of inflation over the next few years.

What are your thoughts about probable inflation rate over next few years?

Musk reiterated his concerns on inflation in a tweet today, revealing a significant impact on Tesla and SpaceX over the rising prices in raw materials & logistics. Replying to his tweet, MicroStrategy CEO and Bitcoin proponent Micheal Saylor said:

“USD consumer inflation will continue near all time highs, and asset inflation will run at double the rate of consumer inflation. Weaker currencies will collapse, and the flight of capital from cash, debt, & value stocks to scarce property like #bitcoin will intensify.”

Agreeing with Saylor’s comments, Musk noted that “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.” He added that he still owns and won’t sell his cryptocurrency holdings.

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.

Both Saylor and Musk are some of the biggest proponents of cryptocurrency, with Tesla holding nearly $2 billion in bitcoin at the end of last year. MicroStrategy, on the other hand, holds over 125,051 bitcoins which is worth approximately $4.9 million at press time.

Musk has several times contributed to rallies in the cryptocurrency market, bearish and bullish alike. With the latest tweet, Bitcoin erased its losses for today and was trading at $39,153.33, with a 24-hour price change of 0.86%.
