What’s new? ARK Invest founder Cathie Wood said that bitcoin could surpass most fiat currencies in value. She allowed the possibility that the capitalization of BTC will grow to $4,5 trillion. Wood explained that they came to this conclusion jointly with economist Arthur Laffer (former adviser to former US President Ronald Reagan), studying the White Paper of the first cryptocurrency, when its price was only $250.

What else did Wood say? She asked Laffer if BTC could fulfill the three roles of money: store of value, unit of account, and medium of exchange.

Wood added that she had not previously disclosed the conversation that prompted her to invest $100 000 in BTC.
