Dan Morehead: crypto – the most asymmetric trade in history
Dan Morehead pivoted his hedge fund – Pantera Capital – to a pure play crypto hedge fund before the rest in 2013 and has reaped the rewards since.
Dan Morehead: crypto - the most asymmetric trade in history
He first bought Bitcoin when it was priced at $65 compared to the $115,000 price today. Dan talks in detail to Wilf about the extraordinary conviction he has in blockchain – “the most asymmetric trade of all time” – which has allowed him to maintain his positions in the face of massive gains and massive drawdowns. He outlines why he thinks blockchain will play a central role in the next decade and century of the financial industry, the attractions of Solana and why he has launched a Solana digital asset treasury company. He also explains why Bitcoin has won the use case of “digital gold” and won’t be surpassed in that. Dan reflects on the important change in approach from President Trump towards crypto; why he is a believer in digital asset treasury companies (like Tom Lee’s BitMine Immersion Technologies and Michael Saylor’s Microstrategy) over crypto ETFs; and one of the key bull arguments for the space – that ‘smart money’ institutions don’t own crypto…yet.
