Saylor Warns of Rule Rewrite Threat to Bitcoin

Michael Saylor, executive chairman and co-founder of Strategy, believes that Bitcoin's biggest threat is not external attackers but rather factions trying to rewrite the network's rules for their own interests. He warns that such changes could weaken economic rights and undermine the cryptocurrency's long-term future.

Saylor draws a parallel between Bitcoin's consensus rules and its constitution, stating that they define property rights, scarcity, settlement, and the balance of power across the network. He argues that changing these rules would be equivalent to an attack on every BTC participant, both now and in future generations.

The cryptocurrency has already succeeded but faces its greatest challenge yet, according to Saylor. He believes Bitcoin has the potential to grow 100-fold and become the foundation of global capital but warns that even a single 'corrupt' rule adopted today could limit future markets, technologies, and economic freedom.
