Bitcoin's Potential Surge to $100,000 Sparks Simulation Theory Debate
According to U.Today, Robert Leshner, CEO of Superstate, has expressed that if Bitcoin reaches the $100,000 mark on November 28, it would make him reconsider his stance on simulation theory. Leshner stated, "I don’t believe in Simulation Theory, but if it happens that would convince me." Historically, Bitcoin has crossed significant milestones on November 28, achieving $1,000 in 2013 and $10,000 in 2017.
Currently, Bitcoin is trading at $95,505, just 4% shy of the $100,000 milestone. The concept of simulation theory, introduced by Oxford philosopher Nick Bostrom in 2003, suggests that our reality could be a high-fidelity simulation created with advanced computational resources. This theory has gained traction with the rise of technologies like virtual reality and artificial intelligence, which blur the lines between reality and simulation. Devices such as Apple's Vision Pro are pushing these boundaries further.
Proponents of the simulation hypothesis argue that the lack of concrete evidence might be intentional, serving to maintain the illusion of a base reality. If Bitcoin does reach $100,000, it could be seen as another indication supporting this theory. However, Polymarket bettors currently estimate only a 21% chance of Bitcoin hitting six figures this November.
