Wall of Fame: Quotes of Bold Predictions

[Crypt_Current]

last 3 == such lulz 

[randrace]

I predict that a year from now the bitcoin price will be in the single digits.  I just want to enshrine this prediction in its own thread.  I hope somebody remembers to dig this up a year from now.  In the meantime I hope to take advantage of the next bitcoin bubble.  May the odds be ever in my favor.

Choo Choo, mother fucker

[randrace]

My bold prediction:

MtGox will come back up, everyone will look at each others... and nothing will happen.
Price won't move (significantly) in any direction.

big assumption there, that everyone learns from past mistakes.  Better copy / paste this one to the wall of bold predictions.  Bold indeed.

Can I get my parade now? 

It's here!

[solex]

with selling pressure severely depressed due the mass delusion of a bitcoin depression on the horizon. the rally will cut through all resistance points like a hot knife cutting through soft butter.

180 with 12days

 

Epic bold prediction from the black-belt Master Wall Observer himself.

How is it possible that you forgot to include in the wall of fame the $300k per BTC in 2013 by our favorite poster?

Here it goes:

but I know that $300k per 1 BTC is delusional

How many people you know, who bought a mobile phone, but went back to fixed line?

How many tried Internet but decided it's not for them?

If something happens in the world, would the news not reach the uttermost ends of the earth in latest 48 hours (if not instantly for most places)?

What keeps 1 billion people from adopting bitcoin? (How can you keep them from not adopting it?)

How many bitcoins are for sale?

To not believe in $300k this year is a denial of the facts. Only a technical flaw in the algorithm or a superstealthfast adoption of a superior altcoin currently not existing, or an all-out wiping away of all mankind can keep USD/BTC from exploding this year. Already everyone who has any position in this world knows about Bitcoin. Just post any nugget of actual facts that can contradict my $300k this year or cease replying to me with nothing material, thank you.

Ummm, I kinda did in post 11     In fact it's going to go higher in the short term so hoping to sell high and buy low at 300k/btc

No, in your quote it says "$300k in the long run", when the bold prediction is $300k this year, plus the people not believing this "is in denial of facts".

Pretty bold (and delusional)

He did follow with "(and higher in the short)" so I guess it depends on his definition of short term. However we can all agree

Pretty bold (and delusional)

Perhaps it is good to just postpone it: Yes, we will reach $300 by 2016, for sure it will happen. If it happens in early/mid 2014 (which I personally believe), it will easily go to $1000 as a bubble.

Don't you know how many Localbitcoins.com merchants there is? How long does it take to get the Bitcoin Dealer Network Association formed, if it is even necessary. The tear days in March saw 1 million USD invested into bitcoin effect a $10 million rise in market cap. (And the contrary, my sales of $230,000 took 200 million away of the marketcap in May 5-7).

I am currently minding my own business and analysing the great bitcoin bubbles of 2010, because the end game will be like that: UP 10x, down 25%, UP 8x, down 20%, UP 6x, down 15%, UP 12x, down 60%, down 80%. No way the stability returns once we get out of the .1-.12 area...

I and my friend both called the 10->300->120->"1-6mo consolidation" already last year. The fact that it's played out exactly as scripted does not make me any less eager to see some action.

I am 26 years old. So, you're saying I should withdraw my retirement account, life savings, sell my car and invest in Bitcoin? Just how sure are you??

Keep the car, if you need it. Your ret. account and life savings will be not worth much, perhaps buy some silver with it. I don't have cash, or house but do have 2 cars, 10,000+ oz silver, some kilo gold and quite many bitcoins. Want to buy some silver??

So, what happened to this?

To not believe in $300k this year is a denial of the facts.

So, you are denying the FACTS, postponing your prediction by 2 years? Or it's just the meds doing their job?

Well I live a very frugal lifestyle so lets say I could theoretically, hypothetically pull together around 60k USD without touching my retirement plan and that I had already diversified to Silver but not gold? How much of my assets would you pool into Bitcoins assuming you were my consultant

All of it. Upside is 1,000,000% and downside 100% (and even that is theoretical), and you are frugal and can easily make back the money.

Do every day the following: invest 20% of the remaining to bitcoin. When you start to feel queasy, don't invest (but continue asking yourself every day After 7 days of not investing, don't invest the rest.

I'll try ignore the voice in my head screaming 'Ponzi scheme!', 'He will only benefit from this! Increases his net worth!' but duly noted. Maybe I'll buy 100 BTC, store them in a paper wallet and see what happens in a year. Thanks for your time, welcome back to the forum and I hope the meds help you keep your cool!

[Bowjob]

Bitcoins will reach $429.24 before the end of the year.

[randrace]

This guy's stab in the dark elicited some spirited response, so I'm sticking it here.
For future readers, price had just slipped to ≈ 105 from ≈ 125 over the span of ≈ a week.

BTC will drop below 99 June 14, below 88 by June 18 and below 50 in less than 2 weeks.

[MooC Tals]

Too much supply generated by weak hands that need to pay off the new asics will sell off their bitcoins easy and prices will fall until difficulty gets to a point where bitcoins are rare again. If the price drops to a point they will dump by the thousands and further accelerating the scenario.

Am I close?
