Despite the ups and downs that the cryptocurrency market has experienced over the last two years, Mike Novogratz believes that the challenges confronting the industry are nearing resolution due to recent events.
In a discussion held at the Galaxy offices, Novogratz expressed his views on BlackRock’s application for a spot Bitcoin ETF, the introduction of Worldcoin, and potential investment opportunities for newcomers.
BlackRock Revitalizes Bitcoin
Novogratz stated that the most significant development for the crypto sector this year is BlackRock’s attempt to launch a spot Bitcoin ETF, particularly given that Larry Fink, BlackRock’s CEO, was previously quite skeptical about cryptocurrencies.
“He got ‘orange-pilled,’ as we say. Orange pill is when you take a nonbeliever, and you make them a believer in Bitcoin. Larry was a nonbeliever. Now he says, hey, this is going to be a global currency. People around the world all trust it.”
If BlackRock, the largest hedge fund by assets under management (AUM), shows interest in Bitcoin, Novogratz believes that the rest of the investment community will likely follow suit, showcasing his well-known tattoo that serves as a reminder of his past mistakes with Terraform Labs.

Novogratz further encouraged investors to maintain a positive outlook on AI-related investments, even though it may be premature to determine the future success of the Worldcoin project.

“You don’t want to bet against Sam Altman right now. I think the price potentially can go a lot higher because there’s an AI hype cycle, (but) I don’t know if we will all use that as our identity.”
The Worldcoin project has faced criticism for being intrusive and is seen by many as likely to fail. The aim of Altman’s new iris-scanning initiative is reportedly to ensure that humans are identifiable as such when AI-generated outputs become indistinguishable from human communication.
Nonetheless, considering recent developments, this timeline appears to have been significantly extended into the distant future – if it materializes at all.
Novogratz also recommended that new investors consider purchasing Alibaba stock, as well as precious metals, Bitcoin, and Ethereum, provided they are willing to take on risk. For more conservative investors, he suggests a portfolio allocation of 30% in these markets, with the remainder invested in bonds and index funds.
