Author: CoinDesk October 24, 2019 Duration: 25:19
As founder and CIO of Ikigai Asset Management, Travis Kling has exploded onto the bitcoin scene over the past year. Spending ten years in traditional finance before moving to crypto, Kling has become a mainstay for his clear-headed analysis of larger market trends - which he has called “the longest monetary policy experiment in history.” In this episode of Bitcoin Macro, he discusses: Why bitcoin is a fledgling macro asset that has significantly increased its footprint on the global stage Why bitcoin is currently a risk asset, but why people think it’s showing signs of a future safe haven asset Why how bitcoin reacts in a recession might be based on what type of recession it is Why he believe Fed Repo market intervention has impacted the recent Bitcoin price down tick. Why every time the bitcoin price crashes and recovers, it brings more recalcitrant institutions into the fold Why the most interesting charts of the year to him are those comparing bitcoin to other safe haven assets To hear more from these speakers and many others about where bitcoin meets macro, join us at Invest: NYC on November 12, 2019 in New York City. https://www.coindesk.com/events/invest-2019/register
