In the latest episode of the Bitcoin Brainstorm podcast, the panel delves into the current landscape of Bitcoin, which is nearing its all-time highs despite a noticeable lack of public interest. With the upcoming US elections on the horizon, experts like Cathie Wood from ARK Invest examine the transition from retail to institutional investors in the Bitcoin space. They discuss the importance of regulation—or the absence of it—in driving innovation and consider Bitcoin’s future as a dual-purpose tool for saving and spending. The conversation emphasizes how Bitcoin infrastructure companies are enhancing accessibility and usability, even as they face challenges like volatility and complexity. Additionally, they explore the potential effects of a "Trump pump" on innovation and regulation within the crypto market.
