Ex Coinbase CTO Balaji clarifies 10% chance of sovereign default is ‘very high’

Former CTO of Coinbase Balaji Srinivasan I believe A Sovereign Default Is “Very High” Likely to Occur Within Months, Sending Bitcoin Price Soaring.

He told the conference that with governments printing trillions of dollars, sovereign defaults were only a matter of time and would ultimately result in a financial crisis of unprecedented scale.

Srinivasan said such a crisis was the reason behind his March prediction that Bitcoin would hit $1 million in 90 days.

During the meeting, he said:

“Will it take 900 days or 90 months? It’s possible, but not 100% likely.”

Some in the cryptocurrency community misunderstood his comments and took to social media to accuse Srinivasan of abandoning a $1 million Bitcoin bet.

But he was quick to say he wasn’t going to betray his predictions, revealing that the 10% chance was “very high.”

He tweeted:

“10% is very high and worthy of attention. And some believe that the likelihood of a sovereign default is at an all-time high.”

According to Srinivasan, there is a 10% chance of a fiat currency crisis in the coming months. There is a 70% chance that it will happen within a few years. 19% in decades, 1% in hundreds of years.

He also added that the market agreed with his analysis, making the likelihood of a fiat currency crisis at an all-time high.

The entrepreneur also said he plans to make another bet soon, related to Bitcoin price and sovereign default.
