7 Crypto Highlights From Ark Invest’s Epic ‘Big Ideas 2022’ Report
I’ll admit it. I’m a Cathie Wood fanboy. When I saw the crypto light on June 29, 2017, my first thought was that I could be the Mary Meeker of crypto. Meeker was an equity analyst at Morgan Stanley when she wrote the seminal internet research report in late 1995.
The 300-page research report called simply “The Internet Report” quickly became the bible for investors interested in the web. Demand for the report was so high that Morgan Stanley had it commercially published — a first for a piece of Wall Street research. Meeker become a Wall Street rock star.
But I quickly realized that crypto already had a Mary Meeker, 25-year-old Chris Burniske, the crypto analyst at Ark Invest. After meeting Burniske, I realized that he had learned from the master: the first institutional investor in Bitcoin, the brilliant founder of Ark Invest, Cathie Wood.
As I got to know Wood, I became aware that she was not only the smartest person on Wall Street when it came to Bitcoin, but she was also the bull on Tesla/EV batteries and a leading expert on other world-changing tech (e.g. AI, genomics, and robotics). How can you not be a massive fanboy?
