Nekdanji tehnični direktor Coinbase stavi 2 milijona dolarjev na Bitcoin, ki bo v 1 mesecih dosegel 3 milijon dolarjev

• Če vrednost Bitcoina do 1. junija ne bo dosegla 17 milijona dolarjev, bo Medlock prejel 1 BTC in 1 milijon USDC.
• Srinivasan trdi, da je kriza neizbežna, kar bi povzročilo deflacijo ameriškega dolarja.

Balaji Srinivasan, a former CTO at cryptocurrency exchange Coinbase, has placed a $1 million bet on the price of Bitcoin (BTC) rising to $1 million by June 17. On March 17, a Twitter user going by the alias “James Medlock” made a $1 million bet to anybody who could prove that hyperinflation would not occur in the United States. Some hours later, the former Coinbase CEO conceded.

If Bitcoin’s value doesn’t hit $1 million by June 17 as planned, Medlock will get 1 BTC and $1 million worth of the dollar-pegged stabilno USD Coin (USDC). Balaji may retain the 1 Bitcoin and the $1 million in USDC if the value of Bitcoin has increased to at least $1 million by the date. 

Različne napovedi za ameriško gospodarstvo

According to the thread, a smart contract outlining the betting rules was created with the assistance of other Twitter users. Srinivasan also said he would be transferring another $1 million in USDC to place a bet on the same matter.

Srinivasan je izjavil:

»Za stavo premaknem 2 milijona dolarjev v USDC. To bom naredil z Medlockom in še eno osebo, kar je dovolj za dokaz. Glej moj naslednji tvit. Vsi ostali naj preprosto kupijo Bitcoin, saj bo veliko ceneje za vas, kot če bi enega zaklenili za 90 dni.«

Moža, Medlock in Srinivasan, sta stavila na podlagi njunih različnih napovedi za prihodnost ameriškega gospodarstva glede na stalno nestabilnost bančnega sektorja. Srinivasan trdi, da je kriza neizbežna, kar bi povzročilo deflacijo ameriškega dolarja in s tem hiperinflacijo, ki bo ceno bitcoina dvignila na 1 milijon dolarjev.
