Bitcoin and the History of Money with Cathie Wood, Ophelia Snyder and Art Laffer

When ARK CEO and CIO Cathie Wood was discussing Bitcoin and Digital Assets in general with her mentor and famed economist Dr. Arthur Laffer, he told her that it reminded him of an era before the Federal Reserve existed. This idea spurred Cathie to invite Dr. Laffer on the FYI podcast to further discuss the history of money in general and what Bitcoin’s role in the history of money might be. Alongside Cathie and Art, we are also pleased to welcome Ophelia Snyder, the Co-Founder and President of 21.co, a Cryptocurrency Exchange Traded Product (ETP) provider. In the discussion, Cathie, Art and Ophelia discuss the original idea of centralized money, the economic booms and busts of the past, the transparency of digital assets and much more.

“And the more decentralized and transparent the ecosystem is, the better. The more secure.” @OpheliaBSnyder Key Points From This Episode:

The United States early definition of a dollar
The relatively novel concept of centralized money
A world before the Federal Reserve (Fed) in 1913, and how the Fed changed money
Economic booms and busts in history starting with The Great Depression
How the real economy has changed in the US and globally
What a new Gold-Standard in the world of Digital Assets look like
Art argues for the necessity of a price rule
Stable coins and some of their inherent challenges
Bitcoin’s similarities to Gold
The number of wallets that hold Bitcoin long term
The potentially changing role of the SEC
Why a more transparent and decentralized ecosystem may be beneficial

Please note that 21.co and ARK are unaffiliated entities.
