Arthur Hayes is the CIO of Maelstrom and co-founder of BitMEX. In this conversation, we break down what’s really happening in the global economy—from the Iran conflict and oil prices to the push and pull between inflation and deflation. We also get into bitcoin’s role in all of this, how AI is reshaping the labor market, and where he sees the biggest opportunities in crypto, from decentralized exchanges to prediction markets and privacy coins.
