Imagine explaining to your grandparents that the “internet money” they dismissed as a fad is now being mentioned in the same breath as Reagan-era tax policy. At first glance, Bitcoin and supply-side economics may seem to live in different galaxies. Yet when Dr. Art Laffer, famed for sketching the Laffer Curve on a napkin, and Cathie Wood, who champions Bitcoin, AI, and energy innovation, sit down together, the through-line is striking: prosperity emerges not from restriction but from unleashing human ingenuity.
Laffer’s vision in the 1980s was that growth could be sparked by trusting people to build, invest, and take risks when barriers were lowered. Today, Bitcoin carries that same ethos into the digital era. It strips away gatekeepers, challenges the monopoly of central banks, and hands individuals direct control over value. Wood extends this logic, seeing Bitcoin not as a speculative asset but as a pillar of “freedom tech,” alongside AI and renewable energy—a toolkit for human abundance.
The question, then, is whether our inherited “truths” about money and policy still hold. As Henry Hazlitt observed, “the bad economist sees only what immediately strikes the eye; the good economist looks beyond” (Economics in One Lesson, 1946). That reminder feels tailor-made for this moment: too often, we focus on short-term fixes while ignoring the long-term architecture of freedom and value being built before us.
At Imagine IF, Dr. Laffer and Cathie will exchange a dialogue that represents more than a generational handoff; it is an intellectual relay race. What began with tax curves and deregulation now continues with Bitcoin and decentralized networks. If prosperity is born from trust in human creativity, then perhaps Bitcoin is not just a currency—it is the logical extension of an old lesson into a new century. The real test is whether society is willing to let go of its “old truths” to seize the possibilities of the new.

Most entrepreneurs build short term, while nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgeyqy52, partner at nostr:nprofile1qqs2sjd7kmh6l4n4lclkzcjpckfln8gjcg7mkkdmk07dw90ykvn7d5samqhsh, builds for centuries.
Businesses are often trapped in a cycle of quarterly returns, fundraising milestones, and short-term hype. It affects how innovators design, lead, and build (often at the expense of integrity and durability).
On a bitcoin standard, resilience outlives raw speed.
What values will still matter in 100 years? What systems deserve to last 500?
Bitcoin is more than mere technology, it’s a lesson in multi-century thinking, and we're honored for Matt to join us this September to share that vision at Imagine If.

Stop thinking custody is the first step to a BTC treasury.
An unpopular truth: custody doesn’t matter much if your accounting and legal structures aren't rock solid.Weak foundations can lead to audits, penalties, and even forced liquidations.
At the upcoming Custody and Treasury Summit, we're joined by nostr:nprofile1qqsx3lh8hd7z4sglwgr2s9c7dw23f26a35c3gy7artuxjpmce6hqa5qu5x2j4 founder, Joe Wood, for a deep dive into the importance of structure across your strategy.
