E65: CEO of Bitwise on How Institutions Access Crypto
Hunter Horsley, CEO of Bitwise Asset Management, sits down with David Weisburd to discuss the institutional investment case for Bitcoin and digital assets. In addition, they discuss the diversification benefits of digital assets for portfolio construction, bull arguments for Bitcoin, and expanding the GDP of the internet through increasing use cases of public blockchains.
Key Points

- The evolution of new computing platforms, such as public blockchains, follows a pattern where initial capabilities are followed by developer experimentation, leading to a variety of use cases that expand over time, as seen with the progression from personal computers to the internet and mobile technology.
