If this is real

Is this for real?.. Sounds legit.

seriously, guys? four years later, we have the benefit of hindsight. this little detail is all you need to know the post was bullshit:

Quote
The four institutions with the largest still accessible Bitcoin balance are believed to be as following:

-ASICminer - 50,000 Bitcoin

does ASICminer even exist anymore? i remember a few years ago trading AM shares was all the rage. i guess this guy didn't predict the demise of ASICminer and the rise of bitmain.

pretty good story though. 9/10. would read again.

Unlike traditional banking where clients have only a few account numbers, with Bitcoin people can create an unlimited number of accounts (addresses). This can be used to easily track payments, and it improves anonymity.

Is this entire thread satire, or is it some type of daycare facility for people who've suffered brain injuries, strokes or dementia?

A reasonable percentage of people seem to believe that quote is from an actual time traveller... I'm not sure I have the words.

But it is clearer now why so many painfully obvious scams are a wonderful success.

This was a really intriguing read and a lot of things in this prediction will come true, but probably not because of Bitcoin. It interestingly tied a lot of sci-fi stories in to BTC's potential. I wonder what happened to Satoshi's 4m bitcoin. Assuming he's already dead and those wallets are inaccessible, someone must have found a way.

The post is written in a great attracting manner, that makes you keep reading. However, it's more unrealistic that accurate. Yeah, this guy predicted $10k, but his $100k for 2019 is probably a seriously overrated prediction.
Almost no governments in 7 years? That's also extremely weird. The govs are not only responsible for taxes and economic stability. There are other political, organizational and legal issues they will keep solving even if mass adoption really happens.
Apart from that, this person suggests that deflationary economics in bad in the long run, while Japan has been doing pretty good with it, and the topic is not researched enough.
The story is too dystopian and totally ignores altcoins which are playing a significant part today. Anyway, nice to read, but totally not convincing to dump bitcoin  Grin

Already quite wrong but I do like a good creative reading. The part that really corrupted the whole thing and destroyed the magic was the citadel, having bitcoin at $100k in 2019 is still possible, hell even one million dollars in 2021 is still possible, if he moved the topic further into that he could have been fine.

Nevertheless, he went to the route where there was kingdoms of miners and people who hide in places where rich bitcoin folk would live without working ever and so forth. He didn't had to move the discussion to a futuristic unreal thing if he only kept with the prices.

We have nothing major changing in our world or at least in our day to day lives that promotes the fact that by 2025 there will be automated cities. Maybe cars? That seems like the only futuristic thing we could hope for. Good concept, bad execution.

He is not.

Well, no one can know that for sure, except for people who may know who he truly is. For the rest of us we can only speculate and logically you would think there's some reason those wallets remain untouched, I have to think that it's because they're not accessible anymore because the information was lost through one path or another. But in this example they were not accounted for so must have been recovered somehow.

What is interesting about the text is not the debate about if it is fictional or not. Of course it is a fictional text, the guy didn't travel in time.

What is interesting is the whole concept of what he idealized. Bitcoin going to millions, Reddit tips becoming more money than you ever dreamed of, the citadel for Bitcoin riches, etc.

It is an extrapolation of the reality we all experienced already: 20million dollars pizza is real ,for example

Lol. We're having quite a lot of time travellers already here in the forums nowadays lol. Though i agree with some of your points dude, the time traveller's thoughts were a bit overblown for me. I do believe that btc will have a very essential part to play and it may value quite a lot but not to that extent.

So in short: we're all going to die rich, but in a few years already.

While we're at it: what if satoshi was a time traveler who created Bitcoin to take his private keys back to the future?
