Title: Those who were around in 2010/2011, any accurate predictions (in retrospect)? Post by: americanpegasus on May 13, 2015, 01:24:24 PM Can you recall someone claiming that bitcoin would break $100 or $1000, and being laughed out of town?
What would you have thought if confronted with an accurate prediction about the future? ($1000 at the dawn of 2014, and a long crash down to $200ish before the next bull run) Come on, tell me some war stories. I love this stuff; I wish I hadn't dismissed bitcoin when I first heard about it back then. Title: Re: Those who were around in 2010/2011, any accurate predictions (in retrospect)?

I remember Proudhon doing the counter and got laughed away into oblivion ;)What would you have thought if confronted with an accurate prediction about the future?

I love this stuff; I wish I hadn't dismissed bitcoin when I first heard about it back then. Then there was Zangelbert Bingledack, whose bullish predictions usually forebode a rally.

That showed me. People say to me "Oh dear, that Bitcoin thing you invested in crashed, didn't it" with a wry smile. I'm quite happy with the return.

Actually, if you go back in time enough in time you would find how BTC would never reach 100 again:https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=140394.5 And if you keep going, you can see people claiming 10 and even 1 would be impossible to reach. So yeah, we'll reach 100K+ sooner or later. Title: Re: Those who were around in 2010/2011, any accurate predictions (in retrospect)?

Post by: photon_coin on May 14, 2015, 07:53:57 AM lets put it this way, i know someone who sold a few thousand btc when it hit around 5 $ us that said, it's like hitting the fucking lottery, so no , anyone saying it was going to 1000$ was considered a nut job

Post by: Morecoin Freeman on May 15, 2015, 04:48:11 PM It is great fun to read through past posts.
What all long term predictions come down to in the end: Nobody knows. It is hard enough to predict next week's price. Title: Re: Those who were around in 2010/2011, any accurate predictions (in retrospect)? Post by: elux on May 15, 2015, 05:09:49 PM come to think of it, damn shame the old rally!!!!! thread is dead and locked.

Post by: Wekkel on May 15, 2015, 07:08:29 PM I thought all price figures mentioned were nuts. They turned out just fine (if only hodling would be easy). I guess only Risto's €300k did not happen. Wait a minute.. ::)

But we should remember it was only an high manipulation and we will not see again 1'000 dollars per bitcoin (maybe after the next block reward halving, who knows).
