In this episode of the Bitcoin Fundamentals podcast, Tad Smith, the former CEO of Madison Square Garden and Sotheby's, dives into the outrageous prices in the art world, like the infamous banana duct-taped to a canvas that sold for $6.2 million. He argues that the value of art is often shaped more by narrative and social signals than by its actual worth. Smith connects this idea to the larger economic picture, discussing how the expansion of fiat currency affects asset prices and why Bitcoin is becoming an increasingly attractive and scarce asset. The conversation also explores the future of art creation with AI and what that means for investment strategies in our rapidly evolving world.
