Anthony Pompliano, a well-known Bitcoin advocate, has characterized Bitcoin as the 'hurdle rate' of modern finance in a recent CNBC interview. He highlighted that Bitcoin's value is bolstered by its scarcity and protection against inflation, especially as governments continue to expand the money supply. Pompliano suggested that investors should aim to outperform Bitcoin or use it as a benchmark for preserving wealth. During the interview, Bitcoin was trading at approximately $122,500, following a recent peak of $126,100.
