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
