Cathie Wood is the Founder, CEO, and CIO of ARK Invest and one of the most influential voices in innovation investing. This conversation was recorded live at Bitcoin Investor Week in New York.  In this discussion, Cathie explains why deflation—not inflation—is the bigger macro risk, how AI is becoming a powerful deflationary force, and why productivity gains are being misunderstood by markets and policymakers. We also explore bitcoin’s role as a hedge against both inflation and deflation, the rise of counterparty risk, and how converging technologies like AI, robotics, and blockchain are reshaping the global economy.
