It's a 3 page document that makes a number of false assumptions. They extrapolate bitcoin to having 300 billion transactions and means no lightening or L2 solution and the block size would be 3gigs. Nor do they even factor in the halving. Wasn't even researched properly, just utter nonsense for the papers.

And Joe Rogan was showing how easy it is to publish fake papers in journals. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZZNvT1vaJg

here is the paper by the way behind a shitty paywall. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-018-0321-8

I thought Nature was one of the Big Journals that only publish high impact things. How does stuff like this slip in then?
