Michael Saylor, founder of business intelligence firm Strategy, has taken to the X social media network to share an unorthodox piece of financial advice

Saylor has jokingly urged investors to sell their teeth in order to keep their Bitcoin untouched

“Sell a tooth if you must, but keep the bitcoin,” the billionaire quipped

The facetious remark is a reference to a recent interview with the Financial Times, during which Katie Martin, a member of the newspaper’s board, ridiculously compared the scarcity of her teeth to the scarcity of Bitcoin

“My teeth are scarce, but they’re not worth billions of dollars,” Martin said, taking a jab at Bitcoin maximalists

The comment went viral on X, with many members of the community ruthlessly mocking the ridiculous comparison and producing plenty of memes

Some have pointed out that teeth can be replaced with implants or even 3D-printed substitutes. Obviously, one cannot invest in a tooth ETF either

On the other hand, Bitcoin’s scarcity is mathematically capped at 21 million tokens, meaning that the cryptocurrency’s scarcity is absolute
