I agree with your sentiment, however I wouldn't use Michael Saylor's quotes as strong ground to stand on, he also said BTC can scale to millions of transactions per second which is impossible.

IMO he comes off a grifter who needed to save his company and kept buying loads of BTC to start the "institutions are buying" FOMO.

He's probably referring to the lightning network, which is theoretically capable of handling millions or even someday billions of bitcoin transactions per second.
