It's finite upside vs infinite downside, and he knows.
Like Nassim Taleb (and any proper thinking mathematician), I would think the downside is limited (Bitcoin can't become less than $0) and the upside is unlimited (or: potentially much higher than the downside). The perfect example of an asymmetric bet that Taleb has written extensively about.
Yes, yes. I meant downside/upside

Andreessen did help a little. Thanks, Wekkel! :-)
