To present how assured he was of his assertion, the crypto founder went so far as putting a guess with one other X person who disagreed along with his place. They each agreed to wager a guess of 1 million satoshis, with the winner (relying on Bitcoin’s worth by March 31, 2024) taking all.
The CEO of Jan3 and a fellow Bitcoiner, Samson Mow, had additionally agreed with Back in a roundabout way, as he believes that Bitcoin can even hit a brand new ATH pre-halving and never publish. However, not like Back, he didn’t point out any worth goal.
