Short and sweet email today, everyone. I just wanted to share my appearance on Seeking Alpha’s Investing Experts podcast this week. We recorded 8/13/24 and the episode went live a few hours ago. Anyone can listen via Apple Podcasts or on Spotify. I’ve also embedded the Spotify SPOT 0.00%↑ version below:
In this half-hour conversation, I gave my thoughts on:
Ethereum ETFs FETH 0.00%↑ ETHE 0.00%↑ ETHA 0.00%↑
Bitcoin Miners MARA 0.00%↑ CLSK 0.00%↑ BTBT 0.00%↑
I mentioned my recent Seeking Alpha piece on Hut 8 HUT 0.00%↑ and explained my downgrade from “buy” to “hold” — 🚨freebie link🚨
Coinbase COIN 0.00%↑ valuation and underlying fundamentals
And my general framework for assessing opportunities in the crypto space
Episode transcript is available for free via Seeking Alpha. One of my favorite quotes from the episode:
I think that Bitcoin actually is going to survive this long term. I think that the idea of what it is and what it enables is strong enough because it's an anti-fiat bet. Is Bitcoin scalable on chain to the point where anyone can send BTC to a friend overseas? No, it's not. And you can do that, but you're going to have to pay a high fee that may be cost prohibitive to the overall value of the transaction. What it is good at is being an asset that can't be created or controlled by any sovereign nation or independent actor.
I hope you enjoy!
