Author: CoinDesk October 24, 2019 Duration: 22:47
As founder of Coinmetrics and founding partner of Castle Island Ventures, Nic Carter is one of bitcoin broadest and most heterodox thinkers. In this episode, he discusses: Why bitcoin is undeniably related to the larger political and economic climate Why the emergence of Libra piqued the interest of central banks and sovereigns in bitcoin and the cryptocurrency industry more broadly Why bitcoin’s status as a safe haven asset is highly correlated to the specific political and economic context of the holder Why the fact that everyone is expecting a recession means that we might not get a traditional recession Japan as a rebuttal to the idea that the stock market always goes up The type of behind-the-scenes questions previously crypto-green institutions are starting to ask about bitcoin data, valuation and more The power inherent in the fact that anyone with an internet connection can start to exit their local currency system. Why the realized capital of bitcoin is at an all time high, even if market cap is far off.
