The Future of Bitcoin with Nic Carter - WBD432

Location: Miami
Date: Tuesday 30th November
Company: Castle Island Ventures
Role: Partner


What to some may have seemed wild conjecture last year, has now
become real. A major public company and a nation state are now
operating under a Bitcoin Standard. But, as the digital asset
matures, so do the discussions and consideration of Bitcoin in
terms of its role within society. 


With growing regulatory scrutiny in the US, what are the specific
regulatory risks for Bitcoin? How should we acknowledge US
political support and opposition? What is Bitcoin’s role as
competition to the state’s monopoly on money? How does it
facilitate alternatives to sovereign currencies, and how will
currency failures in a world with Bitcoin manifest
themselves? 


All these questions feed into the fundamental debate now
manifesting itself within the Bitcoin community: will
hyperbitcoinisation occur? Does it need to occur? Can Bitcoin
successfully thrive as a societal good in tandem with Fiat
currencies and central banks?


In this interview, I talk to Nic Carter, Partner at Castle Island
Ventures and co-founder and Chairman of Coin Metrics. We discuss
Bitcoin’s maturing role within the evolving US and global
economy, and it’s role in relationship to stable coins, gold, and
the US dollar.
