E43: Arthur Hayes: Everyone will get RICH before getting poor


Listen Later

Arthur Hayes is the Co-Founder and previous CEO of Bitmex, and the current CIO at Maelstrom Fund. He is not only one of the most influential and wealthy personalities in crypto but also a super cool dude who writes epic macroeconomic pieces.

In this episode we talk about Arthur's love for coffee, why he moved to Asia after university, how he was arbitraging Bitcoin daily in 2013 with just a bag of cash and a bus ticket, the fascinating Bitmex story - from boot-strapping the business in the 2014/15 bear market to owning the crypto derivative markets later on, what happened during the infamous March 12th 2020 crash at Bitmex HQ, and last but not least - the "stealth" banking crisis and why the entire financial system is currently insolvent.
