Cathie Wood, Who Manages $35 Billion, Answers the Question: “Will Bitcoin or Ethereum Be the Biggest in the Future?”

Cathie Wood, Founder and CEO of Ark Invest, a company focused on emerging technologies and managing $35 billion in assets, offered her clear and compelling views on the cryptocurrency market. Appearing on “The Master Investor Podcast” hosted by Wilfred Frost, Wood detailed why she believes Bitcoin will always be the number one cryptocurrency. According to Wood, there won't be many cryptocurrencies on the market, and Bitcoin already owns the “pure crypto” space. The famous investor believes that Bitcoin will always be the biggest by far among all its other competitors. Wood explains the main feature that makes Bitcoin superior as “a rules-based monetary system”: “Bitcoin is a monetary system, it's based on rules.

He added that wealthy individuals, especially older generations, may turn to gold instead of digital assets during times of uncertainty. *This is not investment advice.
