@balaji made a shocking bet that #bitcoin will go to $1M in 90 days. This is a bet that predicts US Dollar hyperinflation, a worldwide financial catastrophe.
Frankly, $1M per BTC sounds freaking crazy. But now we got your attention. #BitSignal
🧵
1/ What is hyperinflation?
Hyperinflation is rapidly rising inflation, usually by >50% per month.
The price hike will be rapid, excessive, and out of control.
It is an extreme case of inflation.
2/ Rapid price hike in hyperinflation
We are already experiencing inflation. Now imagine an extremely-rapid version - hyperinflation.
If our money loses value rapidly, we will need more money to buy the same things.
Soon, people can't afford basic necessities.
3/ Hyperinflation happened before.
These are the worst cases of hyperinflation. Price literally DOUBLED every day.
4/ Why hyperinflation happens? Factors include:
a) Excessive money supply.
b) Political instability
c) Demand-pull inflation
Money printer go brrr
5/ The consequences of hyperinflation in US
DETRIMENTAL.
-US is the largest economy in the world.
-USD is the strongest fiat and world's dominant reserve currency.
-Economy collapse, social unrest, many will suffer.
I can't even imagine it or entertain this possibility.
6/ The Federal Reserve and the US government should be able to prevent hyperinflation.
BUT
We should hope for the best, and prepare for the worst right?
7/ Bitcoin is the best insurance against financial catastrophe.
-Supply cap of max 21 million BTC
-Good store of value
-Borderless
-Decentralized (no 3rd party intermediaries)
-Freedom (no central bank/government control)
Consider getting yourself insured.
End of thread 🧵
a) $1M per BTC in 90 days? I can't imagine hyperinflation in the US.
b) We should prepare for the worst while we hope for the best.
c) #Bitcoin will be our best insurance against hyperinflation.
