NOT A DRILL! Balaji Bets the Dollar will Hyperinflate to Zero
Bankless
Ray Dalio's Misunderstanding of Crypto
Ray Dalio is partially right about the importance of technology in the future of the free world./nHe is right about the importance of a critical mass of people in the free world, but he misses the importance of crypto in this equation.
Balaji Srinivasan is back on Bankless with alarming takes. According to Balaji, in the next 90 days, the Dollar will hyperinflate—and the Bitcoin price will skyrocket to $1 Million.
He’s backed up these claims with a million dollar bet. With these dire predictions and a track record of strong takes, we needed to hear him out.
Who should we bring on next to counter these claims?
