Josh Brown on Protest Assets, Bitcoin Pessimism and Possibility

Author: CoinDesk November 7, 2019 Duration: 20:44
Josh Brown is the CEO of Ritholtz Wealth Management and a regular contributor to CNBC. In this episode of Bitcoin Macro, CoinDesk’s head of strategy Nolan Bauerle talks with Josh about: Why bitcoin feels like a protest asset but doesn’t see huge amounts of capital flowing into it from turbulent regions Why US dollars and assets like Manhattan real estate are still the preferred choice for moving wealth out of countries Why it’s impossible to know how bitcoin will react in a recession given the unique set of circumstances around the market’s last 11 years Why the bitcoin and crypto spaces have veered back and forth between overly optimistic and overly pessimistic Why true technology disruptions tend to happen long after their earliest promoters have left the stage Why the impact of bitcoin may be something very different than the macro, non-sovereign money narrative in favor today.

There's a conversation happening right now about where bitcoin truly fits in the grand scheme of global finance. Bitcoin Macro: A Pop-up Podcast from CoinDesk steps directly into that discussion, moving beyond daily price checks to ask the bigger, more enduring questions. Is its primary role evolving into a digital safe haven, or does it represent something even more profound for a generation questioning traditional monetary systems? Produced alongside CoinDesk's Invest: NYC conference, this limited-series podcast brings voices from the forefront of finance and economic thought into a focused dialogue. You'll hear candid interviews with leading market thinkers who dissect bitcoin not just as a technological innovation, but as a potential macro asset influencing and reacting to broader economic currents. Each episode is built on exploring these complex intersections, offering listeners a deeper context often missing from the news cycle. For anyone curious about the substantive arguments shaping bitcoin's future role, this CoinDesk podcast provides a thoughtful and timely audio space to consider the possibilities.
