ARK Invest首席执行官Cathie Wood:比特币绝非“死猫”,未来充满生机
ARK Invest首席执行官Cathie Wood是比特币(BTC)生态系统中最为看多的投资者之一。当一位播客主持人将这种加密货币称为“死猫”时,她毫不留情地进行了反驳。
Wood是最早进行比特币机构投资的先驱之一,她曾透露,ARK Invest在2015年价格甚至未触及500美元时,就成为了首家获得比特币敞口的公开资产管理公司。
播客主持人称比特币为“死猫”,指其缺乏实际用途且令人畏惧
热门播客《This Week in Startups》的主持人Jason Calacanis发布了一张反映比特币近期走势的图表,显示9月18日价格下跌了30%。他借最近的反弹现象,称比特币是一只不断弹跳的“死猫”。他指出,自比特币诞生以来已过去17年,但它并未被广泛用于交易,且对大多数人来说显得“高深莫测”。
Calacanis评论道,制度化进程已将比特币从“朋克摇滚”变成了“背景音乐(Muzak)”。尽管它作为一种价值储存手段存在,但变得枯燥乏味。“支持者从海盗变成了穿着橙色领带的西装革履者,尴尬地分享着令人尴尬的表情包——就像那些‘酷小孩’所做的一样!”他补充说,如果比特币能够凭借其用例实现大规模采用,那么这一过程早已完成。
Wood responded strongly: Bitcoin has multiple lives and broad prospects
As one of the most outspoken advocates of Bitcoin, Wood responded strongly to the host's criticism. "Bitcoin is not a dead cat, Jason! It still has many lives in the future."
She also took the opportunity to share the latest issue of ARK Invest's "Bitcoin Brainstorm" podcast program aired on September 17, which focused on the integration of artificial intelligence and Bitcoin.
Experts discuss how AI can reshape the Bitcoin security landscape
In the latest "Bitcoin Brainstorm" program, Wood discussed with Lorenzo Valente, director of digital assets research at ARK, Rod Roudi, founder of Bitcoin Park, Rob Hamilton, co-founder and CEO of AnchorWatch, Seth for Privacy, chief operating officer of Cake Wallet and Radar, and Dhruv Bansal, co-founder and chief strategy officer of Unchained. It explores in depth how the rapidly developing AI model has changed the security of Bitcoin.
Experts point out that AI technology is becoming more powerful and less costly, and open source weighting models are becoming increasingly popular. Unlike closed AI models, the open source weighting model means that the final trained parameters (or "weights") are open to the public, and anyone can download, run and fine-tune them on their own hardware.
Wood emphasized that the combination of domain expertise and AI is invincible because programmers are willing to coordinate AI to discover system vulnerabilities. She explained that while attackers do use AI to crack systems, defenders can also use the technology to make systems more resilient to vulnerabilities.
She admitted that in the face of the threat of quantum computing, as an investor, witnessing the flow of funds from the Bitcoin whale was indeed disturbing. But she said the company's research had allayed those concerns.
The AI era will accelerate GDP growth and trigger deflation, and Bitcoin will become a new safe haven.
Wood also pointed out that the AI era will be extremely productive and efficient, and will accelerate GDP growth to 7%-8%, but this will also lead to deflation. In this case, prices will fall, but interest rates will rise.
The rise in short-term interest rates could surprise institutions that rely heavily on short-term debt, such as private equity firms and banks. She believes that this situation creates counterparty risk, meaning that the company you do business with could go bankrupt.
This is where Bitcoin comes into play. The CEO of ARK Invest said that most people view Bitcoin as a hedge against inflation, but even if deflation occurs, it will not be a bad thing for the cryptocurrency. She argued that traditional markets rely on banking institutions with counterparty risk, which Bitcoin does not present due to its decentralized nature.
Market Trends and Price Review
It is worth noting that Wood cleared approximately $40 million of its own Bitcoin ETF, the ARK21 Shares Bitcoin ETF (CBOE: ARKB), on September 14, a day before the U.S. Senate CLARITY bill cloture vote.
As of writing, according to Decibel's data, the Bitcoin transaction price was US$81,773. The current price is 35% lower than its all-time high of US$126,080 set on October 6, 2025.
