This episode is the first in a series, Why Bitcoin Now, that takes a deeper dive into Bitcoin and the history of money in the macroeconomic environment of the coronavirus. Mike Novogratz, founder, CEO and chairman of Galaxy Digital, and Raoul Pal, founder and CEO of Global Macro Investor and Real Vision Group, tell us where they think Bitcoin is going amidst this macro uncertainty and the global crisis due to the coronavirus. We discuss:  <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why Bitcoin’s price hasn't risen in price due to the global turmoil, and instead fell with the rest of the market on Black Thursday </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why quantitative easing is the catalyst for institutional investors to turn to Bitcoin, but why that takes time, and why registered investment advisors may be on the cusp</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why they think retail investors will continue to buy Bitcoin despite record unemployment</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why Bitcoin will benefit from social unrest</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why any particular country's success in dealing with the coronavirus won’t really lessen the economic impact there</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">whether China's first-mover advantage with the DCEP and its comprehensive enterprise blockchain initiatives will undermine the global dominance of the US dollar </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why they believe there will ultimately be a dollar-based stablecoin </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why they believe Libra will be a strong player in the future of stablecoins </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">how election outcomes, and in particular a potential movement to break up Big Tech, could affect Bitcoin and the vision for Web3</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">whether Ethereum, and staking, will see more adoption from institutional investors </li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">why they believe yield farming is ultimately not sustainable, but still profitable</li> <li style="font-weight: 400;">the impact the Bitcoin halving will have in this macroeconomic environment</li> </ul> Unchained is hiring!  Check out our job listing for a remote editorial assistant <a href= "https://unchainedpodcast.com/seeking-remote-editorial-assistant/"> here</a>!
