Balaji Srinivasan is an entrepreneur and an investor. He was the former chief technology officer at Coinbase, a former general partner at the venture capital firm Andreessen Horowitz, and he also has a number of nine figure exits as a founder of companies. In this conversation, Balaji and I discuss the current banking crisis, the potential of hyperinflation, what happens to the U.S. dollar moving forward, why he made a $1 million Bitcoin bet over the next 90 days, and what exactly Balaji thinks has led up to this scenario.
