Nic Carter on Bitcoin’s Evolution as a Heterogenous Safe Haven Asset
About this episode
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.
