Did that time traveller from the future predicted Bitcoins?

[gabriella]

he got a lot of the things right and people generally believe he is from the future.

did he say anything about Bitcoins?

I hope you don't mean John Titor. If you do, I fear you're just trolling us.

He may or may not be a troll, but BTC does actually fit one of Titor's predictions. From the Wikipedia article:

The internal consistency of Titor's story has been questioned: For instance, in some posts he claims that money is widely used and people still have credit cards, despite his statement that centralized banking no longer exists (this is either an inconsistency or implies the rise of private currencies).

What type of money do you use in 2036?
(56) Its not very different than it is now. Yes, we have money and credit cards. However, like everything else, the monetary system is decentralized.

(57) Banking is based mostly around the community structure. There are no multinational banking or computerized economic systems. There are also no income taxes.

Never said I beleived Titor's story, Scientician, just thought it was an interesting and funny coincidence. Also I did post a while back about burning account keys onto credit card tracks, though a lot of people seemed to ignore me...

Wait, now I know how to get peoples' attention when I have a good idea!

Gentlemen, I am from the future.

Surely he is referring to this time traveler:
