#MichaelSaylor : The biggest risk of Bitcoin is not its price, but… changes to the protocol
Michael Saylor – Chairman of Strategy, who holds more than 700,000 BTC – just made a noteworthy statement:
“The biggest risk of Bitcoin is the ambitions to change the protocol.”
This message reflects the core philosophy of Bitcoin: the stability and immutability of the new rules are the foundation of its value.
While many blockchains continuously upgrade and modify mechanisms, Bitcoin is positioned more as a “monetary asset” rather than a technology platform. For Saylor, any overly ambitious changes to the protocol could undermine trust – something the market is paying thousands of billions of USD to acquire.
Financially, this is an important distinction:
Bitcoin prioritizes long-term reliability
Altcoins often prioritize fast and flexible innovation
Investors need to understand:
Price $BTC may fluctuate, cycles can go up and down, but the stability of the protocol is what helps Bitcoin maintain its role as a “digital reserve asset.”
In the context of many crypto projects changing tokenomics, continuous hard forks, Saylor's message is a reminder:
👉 With Bitcoin, doing nothing can sometimes be the best strategy.
