Michael Saylor Thinks Tucker Carlson's New Episode On Hyperinflation Shows Why We Need Bitcoin

Microstrategy Inc. CEO MSTR Michael Saylor, a supporter of Bitcoin BTC/USD, has emphasized Argentina’s need to embrace the digital currency as a solution to its economic woes. 

What Happened: Saylor responded to a post by Tucker Carlson, former Fox Television Host personality, who embarked on an eye-opening journey to Argentina to caution Americans about the potential perils of "hyperinflation" and "reckless monetary policies." 

The MicroStrategy CEO said, "Tucker travels far to discover why we need Bitcoin".

Hyperinflation and reckless monetary policy could soon devastate the global economy. We traveled to Argentina, where it's already happened," Carlson wrote to Twitter. "For politicians, money is power. They always crave more, but because they don't actually produce anything, they've got limited ways to get it," he said.
