Obviously he’d get his $1M back, why wouldn’t he? I never said he wouldn’t…

He is selling a BTC put that expires in 90 days and is worth $800-900k for $26k, that’s all I said.

Balaji is betting the hyperinflation makes the BTC worth more than $1M hyper inflated US dollars. If hyperinflation happens, the BTC/USD pair will go up in dollar value.

That's not what I am saying. I am saying that BTC may be worth 100k, and the USD 500k and he still wins the bet (under the interpretation I mentioned above).

Nevermind he just updated the thread.
