The Collapse of the Sam Bankman Fiasco

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?
