We Debate","description":"This episode is a recording of an X Space I had the pleasure of hosting on March 24th. It features a compelling debate between Kevin Brent Cook and Grain of Salt on Josh Mandell\u2019s precise and publicly stated prediction that Bitcoin would hit $84,000 on Pi Day, March 14th. Kevin argues that many are being fooled by randomness. Grain believes Josh is simply an elite trader \u2014 and maybe even tapped into something unconventional. Memories, multiverses, time loops? Who knows. \u2013\u2013\u2013 Offers &amp;amp; Discounts \u2013\u2013\u2013 Get 10% off your ticket for the Bitcoin Conference 2025 in Vegas!
