How macro trader Mike Novogratz became a bitcoin convert

This article/ video interview is with Mike Novogratz, a veteran Wall Street trader who sees a lot of opportunity in the bitcoin ecosystem:

It started with a late-2015 visit to a friend’s startup in Brooklyn.

“I expected to see Joe, a dog and one assistant. Instead I saw 30 dynamic young people crammed in a Bushwick warehouse, coding, talking on the phone, making plans for this revolution,” Novogratz said. “Macro guys are instinctive. My instinct was, ‘I want to buy a chunk of this company.”’

The article mentions that he’s also starting up a $500 million hedge fund to invest in the crypto-space.
