Deep dives

Bitcoin as a Macro Asset and Starting Galaxy

Bitcoin initially appealed to Mike Novogratz as a macro asset due to concerns about inflation post the European financial crises. His early investment approach was influenced by the asset's potential as an inflation hedge, especially during a period when faith in governments was waning. Novogratz found Bitcoin's origin as a global asset fascinating, noting its widespread participation during the 2017 bubble. He reflected on the mistake of initially focusing on building an institutional business rather than embracing Bitcoin's origins as a decentralized and people-driven asset.
