Investing in innovation starts with understanding it. My name is Alex. Before becoming a full-time investor, I spent 8 years as a rocket scientist at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. I hold a BE in Electrical Engineering, an ME in Systems Engineering & Optimization, and an unfinished PhD in Image Processing & Computer Vision. Now, I use my engineering background to research AI, semiconductors, and other advanced technologies, invest in them, and cover it all on this channel.
Video Description
#ARKF seems to be #ARK Invest's least popular thematic ETF, probably because it lacks robots and gene-editing. Instead, this fund focuses on banking, #bitcoin, and all things #finance, which sets it up to disrupt some of the biggest industries of them all. #DaveLeeOnInvesting has done extensive research and talked to a lot of knowledgeable people about bitcoin, #blockchain, and #cryptocurrency on his channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCi2G5aQTN0YwGIfnt1u7Nbg Dave Lee on Investing with Yassine Elmandjra (#ARKInvest Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Analyst): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLMJGs4yARw Dave Lee's Poking Holes in the Bitcoin Bull Case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SA_80nusQns Dave Lee's skepticism on Bitcoin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHxxo0C8bUU& #CathieWood predicts a $500,000 bitcoin: https://www.barrons.com/articles/bitcoin-could-hit-500-000-according-to-ark-invests-catherine-wood-51605906264 ARK Invest White Papers on Bitcoin: Bitcoin: A Novel Economic Institution - https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/bitcoin-part-one/ Bitcoin as an Investment - https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/bitcoin-part-two/ Bitcoin Mining – The Evolution of A Multibillion Dollar Industry - https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/bitcoin-mining-white-paper/ Bitcoin a New Asset Class? - https://ark-invest.com/white-papers/bitcoin-a-new-asset-class-white-paper/ Debunking Common Bitcoin Myths by Yassine Elmandjra: https://ark-invest.com/articles/analyst-research/bitcoin-myths/ Can blockchain accelerate financial inclusion globally?
