Ark Invest's Cathie Wood says bitcoin will thrive amid ‘deflationary chaos’ created by AI and innovation
Exponential tech will force down prices and stress legacy finance, for which bitcoin offers a trustless alternative, said Wood at Bitcoin Investor Week.
What to know:
- Cathie Wood argues that bitcoin is a hedge not only against inflation but also against a coming wave of technology-driven, productivity-led deflation.
- She says rapid cost declines in artificial intelligence and other exponential technologies will trigger "deflationary chaos" that traditional financial institutions and the Federal Reserve are unprepared for.
- In her view, bitcoin’s decentralized design and fixed supply make it a safer alternative to fragile, debt-based financial systems that could be strained by deflation and disrupted business models.
