Cathie Wood, a well-known fund manager in the United States, said that in order to guard against possible inflation in the next decade, she would not hesitate to bet on Bitcoin rather than gold or cash. The head of ARK Investment Management reiterated her view that with the support of new technologies such as artificial intelligence, electric vehicles, robotics, genome sequencing, and blockchain, she expects prices to enter a period of decline. This has been her consistent view since 2021, even as the market focuses on the new era of increasing inflation risks. When asked by Bloomberg's "Merryn Talks Money" podcast which of the three assets (Bitcoin, cash, and gold) she would choose to hold for 10 years, Wood said, "Bitcoin, without a doubt. Bitcoin can hedge against both inflation and deflation, and there is no counterparty risk because institutions are hardly involved."
