(WATCH) Tucker Carlson Talks Cryptocurrency With Bitcoin Billionaire, ‘Escape The Inflation Vortex’ (VIDEO)

Tucker Carlson of Fox News aired a segment from an interview he had with Michael Saylor, a Bitcoin investor with a portfolio worth over $1.1 Billion.

Tucker said the reason people are buying Bitcoin is that the”central banks have printed so much money that its value is plummeting, the reason is simple”.

Carlson said Fox News and his team have been searching for a Bitcoin expert for over a year: “We scoured the country for more than a year to find someone who could explain it to us, who really understood it and had skin in the game”.

Micahel Saylor is an”entrepreneur, business executive…his company just dropped more than 400 million dollars on [Bitcoin]”.

Saylor said this on the cryptocurrency:

“The currency is to the economy what your blood is to your body and economic energy or money is to the currency what oxygen is to your blood. So, common sense says if I start sucking the oxygen out of the room, you’re gonna either suffocate or freeze to death…If I keep sucking the economic energy out of the currency, the economy collapses…it becomes a million times less efficient.”

Saylor believes that “the dollar is weakening” and that with inflation, Bitcoin can be used as an “oxygen mask” to fix the economy. Tucker Carlson expressed feelings of support and excitement around Bitcoin, saying it seemed that Bitcoin can be used as an “escape to the inflation vortex”.
