Ep. 177: Brad Rotter Interview with Michael Covel on Trend Following Radio
My guest today is Brad Rotter, a speculator, and venture capitalist. He's not a trend follower per se, but he's made money in the trend following world. He was the first investor with Richard Dennis in the early 1980’s.
The topic is Bitcoin.
In this episode of Trend Following Radio we discuss:
- How Rotter became an entrepreneur from early years as a farmer in Iowa
- How he came to be Richard Dennis' first client when he started managing money
- Why the US is at 'peak civilization'
- Why technology is arbing away the need for people
- How the unit of time is changing
- Why it's harder and harder to make an easy living
- Whether the US government is the greatest hedge fund in history
- Why Bitcoin is a 'perfect' currency
