BULLISH 📈 : Cathie Wood shifts from gold to Bitcoin for growth potential

Key Insights:

  • ARK Invest CEO Cathie Wood suggests shifting investments from gold to Bitcoin, citing Bitcoin's favorable supply dynamics and long-term adoption potential.
  • Wood notes that Bitcoin and gold have no correlation, with Bitcoin historically catching up to gold in past market cycles.
  • She highlights a historical high of gold versus broad money (M2), suggesting gold may face a decline similar to past macroeconomic extremes.
  • The stablecoin boom is seen as affecting Bitcoin's transactional role but not its savings appeal. Wood maintains that Bitcoin will remain a key savings asset with a projected price target of $1.5 million by 2030.
  • Bitcoin's supply growth is expected to decrease from 0.8% per year to 0.4%, contrasting with gold's average supply growth of 1% annually.
  • A recent "flash crash" on October 10, linked to a software glitch at Binance, caused significant margin calls, impacting Bitcoin's price momentum.
  • Bitcoin's liquidity makes it susceptible to forced selling during broader market deleveraging, though this overhang is now diminishing.
  • At the time of reporting, Bitcoin traded at $78,377.
