Podcasts: Bitcoin's Coming of Age with Dan Morehead 🔗 4 years ago

What Bitcoin Did

Location: Zoom
Date: Friday, 3rd April
Project: Pantera Capital
Role: Co-Founder & CEO

Markets around the world have posted their worst quarterly results in decades with the FTSE, DJI, S&P500 and many others down over 20%. While the coronavirus pandemic is certainly the catalyst behind this drop, it may have been the pin that popped the global economy propped up by cheap credit.

With the markets falling, the forced closure of businesses and unemployment at record levels, governments around the world have taken unprecedented action with their monetary and fiscal policies.

With huge amounts of quantitative easing globally, this economic event again highlights the benefits of Bitcoin’s monetary policy. It was created in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, born out of years of cheap credit and poor government oversight. Now nearly 12 years since its creation, we are again in a time of financial crisis. So, could this crisis lead people to a non-sovereign, global, immutable, digital, decentralised, hard money?

In this interview, I talk to Dan Morehead, a veteran investor and the co-founder & CEO of Pantera Capital. We discuss the effect of coronavirus on the economy, how the markets will recover, and Bitcoin’s coming of age.
