MEXCBitcoin To $1 Million: Ex-Coinbase CTO Assures Off Bet; But There’s A Catch
Bitcoin News: Balaji Srinivasan, Former Coinbase CTO assured of the bet the Bitcoin price will reach $1 million in the upcoming days. He posted screenshots and address of the escrow account in order to make sure that the deal is still on. However, he stated that this setup will be like Simon-Erlich style public interest bet. It should be clear that there should be a zero profit motive behind this bet.

Earlier, James Medlock in a Tweet mentioned that Balaji Srinivasan didn’t submit the money into escrow as decided. He added that ex Coinbase CTO is discussing with lawyers how to make this bet legal. However, the backup plan is to give the $1 million directly to the charity.
To this Srinivasan replied that as announced he has moved $2 million into USDC days ago.
