There were also some mind-blowing predictions. The four guys made some of their most unconventional predictions, which were quite interesting. Chamath made two of the most mind-blowing ones:
- SpaceX might not have an IPO, but instead go public through a reverse takeover by Musk (this idea has already been widely analyzed, but remember, it's considered a mind-blowing, unconventional prediction in the program).
- Another prediction about cryptocurrency: Chamath believes that central banks will realize some limitations of gold and Bitcoin, and therefore will develop a completely new cryptographic approach (a new currency?). This model would be controllable on their balance sheets, fungible, tradable, and completely secure and private. This new currency would also need to hedge against the potential risks of quantum chips that may emerge in the next five to ten years.
Regarding cryptocurrency, Chamath mainly emphasized the importance of privacy: for the sake of national sovereignty, these central banks need to possess an asset that is not easily accessible to others (whether friend or foe).
