I don’t think he thought this all the way through.
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.
>Terms of the bet: ideally someone can set up a smart contract where BTC is worth >$1M in 90 days, then I win. If it's worth less than $1M in 90 days, then the counterparty gets the $1M in USD.

Do note this isn't _real_ wrapped bitcoin. It's essentially a stablecoin which price matches a bitcoin; it is not backed by any bitcoins unfortunately.
Real wrapped BTC would require a decentralised bridge which isn't exactly trivial.
