“There’s not many asset classes that could save you the way that bitcoin can, and I think people are just lazy and they’re not paying attention to what’s happening.”
— Peter Doyle

SHOW DESCRIPTION

Location: Remotely
Date: Wednesday 21st April
Company: Horizon Kinetics
Role: Co-Founder & MD

Value investing is a simple but highly effective strategy used by some of the world's most renowned traders, most notably Warren Buffet. These investors hunt out stocks that they believe to be trading below their true value. The theory is that the market overestimates both good and bad news, which means stock or asset prices can swing wildly askew of their actual value, and they then look to capitalise on this by buying cheap and holding for the long term.

It is easy to argue that Bitcoin fits perfectly into this category. If you believe that Bitcoin has the potential to become the world's premier store of value and absorb a large portion of gold's market cap, then at a $1trillion market cap, bitcoin seems massively undervalued. However, many value investors, including Buffet, refuse to accept Bitcoin.

Peter Doyle is a value investor who believes that bitcoin has a crucial role in our future. Not only just as a store of value and a hedge against inflation but also as a way of removing monetary policy decisions from the central bankers and politicians.

In this interview, I talk to Peter Doyle, the Co-Founder and MD of Horizon Kinetics. We discuss the risks of high inflation, value investing in the current macro environment and why the world needs Bitcoin.
