Saylor Buying Bitcoin Won’t Stop BTC Crash, CryptoQuant CEO Reveals Real Solution

Ki Young Ju, the CEO of CryptoQuant, has indicated that Michael Saylor’s ongoing Bitcoin acquisition would still not be sufficient to prevent a BTC crash. Also, Strategy’s STRC weakness has weighed on Bitcoin while geopolitical tensions have exacerbated the market downturn.

Saylor Buying More Bitcoin Is Not The Real Solution

In a lengthy post on X, Ju contended that Bitcoin’s biggest risk wasn’t always a steep drop in the market. Instead, it could suffer more from a lengthy period of deadlock that causes investors to lose faith in the market. It could also weaken the narratives that have historically spurred the adoption of Bitcoin.

However, the truth is that Saylor buying more Bitcoin is not the true solution to avoid this fiasco, Ju said.

Ju directly commented on Saylor’s Bitcoin accumulation strategy. He argued that Strategy’s acquisition of BTC will not solve the real challenge facing the market.

“That’s why Saylor’s real challenge is not just buying more Bitcoin. It is giving the market a new reason to believe,” Ju wrote on X.

The analyst cautioned that Strategy’s model for capital raising based on Bitcoin may be strained if the BTC moves sideways for the long-term. Investors putting money to work can survive a sudden drop if they expect the market to rally again but prolonged sideways action changes the picture.

“Saylor’s STRC structure becomes truly dangerous not when Bitcoin simply crashes, but when Bitcoin spends years moving sideways and the bear market drags on,” he wrote. Moreover, things are getting worse as BTC price plunged to $62,000 amid the Israel-Lebanon conflict.

Ju says “long stagnation kills the story,” which hurts demand, simply puts pressure on the premium. Also, it’ll make the company’s capital-raising efforts harder to maintain. With STRC hitting a record low around $82 recently, his comments seem to be coming true.

Bitcoin's biggest risk is not a crash. It is boredom.

A sharp drawdown can be survived if the market still believes in…

He also said that “Bitcoin’s biggest risk is not a crash. It is boredom.” Further, the market has turned bearish as Strategy announced a 32 BTC sale in June. Since then, even Saylor revealing purchases of over $201 million in BTC hasn’t changed the sentiment. This seems to support Ju’s narrative that Saylor buying more BTC is not the actual solution.

CryptoQuant CEO Says Bitcoin Needs A New Story

To ensure Bitcoin’s long-term success, Ju said it was important to find a new narrative to entice investors to invest more and bring people together with a common vision.

As a crypto veteran, close to 10 years into the industry, Ju noted that the fundamentals of Bitcoin did not change. However, the narratives behind its bull market rallies have shifted each time around, Ju added. He said that a lot of the best stories have been told already.

“When I founded CryptoQuant in 2018, I strongly believed a Bitcoin ETF would eventually be approved,” Ju wrote. He also recalled believing that “a U.S. president openly supporting Bitcoin as a strategic reserve asset would happen someday.”

Both have proven true and Ju now wonders what the story will be to change the tide for the next phase of adoption. Bitcoin banking and digital credit are among the ideas that Saylor has championed.

On the contrary, Ju said that he wasn’t sure how easy these ideas are to sell to the average investor. Also, crypto experts are hinting that Strategy might have to sell up to $4 billion in Bitcoin to restore STRC’s par $100 par. This even weakens the entire concept of digital credit that Saylor has been endorsing.

“So what narrative does Bitcoin have ready for the next wave of liquidity?” Ju asked. He added, “Bitcoin does not just need another catalyst. It needs a new center of gravity that can unite believers again.”
