    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

    Caitlin Long on Bitcoin as an Insurance Policy on the Mainstream Financial Industry

    From high profile Wall Street defector to pro-crypto regulatory trailblazer, Caitlin Long is an unstoppable force. In this episode, she discusses: Why she believes her early interest in bitcoin could have gotten her fired from Morgan Stanley. Why bitcoin is a macro asset, but only for a very small niche (and why it isn’t ready for mainstream institutions just yet). Why bitcoin isn’t likely to represent a safe haven asset in short-term blips – but could be powerful in the context of a major shock. Why more traditional financial institutions are dipping their toes in, but only through VC and other risk structures (not through self-custody). Why Wyoming is poised to do for the crypto industry what South Dakota did for the credit card industry. Emerging issues with bitcoin lending. Why the most interesting chart to Long is the bitcoin hashrate and the spread between household net worth and non-financial sector debt in the United States.

    Nic Carter on Bitcoin’s Evolution as a Heterogenous Safe Haven Asset

    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.
