\n I will take that bet.
You buy 1 BTC.
I will send $1M USD.
This is ~40:1 odds as 1 BTC is worth ~$26k.
The term is 90 days.
All we need is a mutually agreed custodian who will still be there to settle this in the event of digital dollar devaluation.
If someone knows how to do this… \n

\n Reading this thought provoking thesis by @JasonPLowery

Is Bitcoin a monetary protocol or power projection protocol? Why not both?

More academic research should be self published like this $\"👏🏻\"$ . Well done Jason \n
