Bitcoin Predicted During Pokemon in 1999

[rdbase]

I have seen some things of pokemon which could be devoted to bitcoin in these ways.

And then there is this music video which was inspired by the pokemon cartoon theme song and parodized by the official creator of it into a bitcoin anthem.

On a side note - Mark Karples who opened the infamous mt.gox exchange started in its infant stages for online trading of Magic: The gathering cards.

Don't even look, don't waste your time because there is nothing in common between Pokemon and cryptocurrencies. The author of the post and the idea just trolls us.

Well I love pokemon and seeing those boxes brings me back to middle school. Yes there is a Satoshi lol dude Satoshi Tajiri made pokemon.

and.....

サトシ Satoshi) is the main character of the Pokémon Zensho manga

The only thing I can think of is pickachu is the lightning network and charizard burns tokens. It could be anything though. Why don't you come back and explain this to us?


I don't see how this is linked to bitcoin and I don't see the fascination with this anyway.

I am clueless about the relevance of the picture to Bitcoin.  FYI, I loved playing pokemon when I was younger, if ever there is a relationship between pokemon and Bitcoin, I could have been a pioneer in Bitcoin but alas, I only have known Bitcoin way back 2014.

The only thing I can think of is pickachu is the lightning network and charizard burns tokens.

what about Zapdos and Rapidash?  They both have lightning affinity and fire affinity such as those given pokemons.


Well, I guess OP have a wild imagination that none of us can see through.

Sadly, I just did .

I, to be honest, also did not notice any similarity with bitcoin. I think you're looking for meaning where there isn't. Perhaps it was some kind of coincidence, and you mistakenly attribute it to the crypto currency.

A 100% coincidence, there is not even a clear clue in the card just ambiguous words, if pokemon really does predicted bitcoin during 1999 then it is certain that the satoshi nakamoto is the pokemon creater itself but not, it is just a delusion and baseless conclusion.

Hold up guys, the OP forgot to attach the most important thing, LOL

The original singer of Pokemon, Jason Paige posted a Bitcoin Parody song above, "Gotta Cash 'em All"  and it went viral. So for all Pokemon fans out there, I'm sure you are familiar with the voice, thus you can connect Pokemon to Bitcoin. 

Ok, so this is the only connection we have so far, love Jason Paige and it's cool to see him doing this parody song. So I guess there's not much from Pokemon-Bitcoin connection here, unless you conspiracy guys can dig and find another link.

The tokens from pokemon look like crypto tokens. That is all I can see in relation to crypto. Maybe the lightning and fore pokemon but come on what a stretch.
Where is this OP anyway? I want an explanation to this weird post. Who is with me?

[vladimirhf]

I feel so very stupid reading OP conspiracy theory but I'm glad that you brother posted this. I laughed so hard when I see the app logos forced to be related in satanic symbols. Especially the one who made the Libra mocking image is a genius. But back to the original post, it should have detailed explanation instead of saying that he did 'deep' research to find that out.

I would not call "conspiracy"... many logos have occult references. you don't call them "satanic" when you know what you are talking about. it's true that most designers don't have such symbology repertoire but at least branding designers should... ethereum is explicit, e-t-h-e-r-e-u-m. The ether of the greek. it's up to you to study or not and stay at common sense levels zuck studies for sure, who saw the chaos magick sigil inside his jacket? libra's symbol is actually the astrological symbol of aquarius, a keyword for this sign is "freedom". zuck is still getting his inspirations from those poor twins (gemini) they are obviously soulmates

[casperBGD]

it is the easiest, make your own theory that something is developed based on something else, even that all the said is right, what is the conclusion of this? digital money existed before pokemon as well

[spacehopper]

Not only about bitcoin.Most of the recent activities predicted in comics,movies.Their imaginations will become into reality one day.Do you know 2002 Simpsons episode predicted Trump orb encounter? Things happening.Most of the new inventions predicted in past.Another example is Leonardo da Vinci . We can see  many things that he predicted in past.

Why is everyone believing this stuff 😂, even if there were something like *flipping a coin* , it could actually mean hell lot of things .
Therefore associating it with Bitcoins is pretty over the top since it's just how we want to see it ... Infact predictions and all are just filed by human mind trying to see what it wants to see in everything , there is no such thing because it would defy the laws of physics itself .
If it was actually brought out in the market before 2000, how would you justify the technology it took them ?
We didn't have anything well above 2005 , it was all too small to account for such big phenomenon.

[jademaxsuy]

I probably wasted a good 5-10 minutes trying to lookup the definitions and the designs and find any connections with Bitcoin. Yea.. it'd be great if you'd actually tell us the "clues" you're seeing.

I thought I am the only user manage to look for few minutes and think of finding the clue for the said prediction from pokemon. OP has said that he even made a deep research and does not provide any article regarding to the matter. Anyway, if it really is then hoping that OP emphasizes the image on where does bitcoin connects to pokemon. It is easier than looking and figuring it out without a clue.

I think in the year 1999, is not that year we think I recognize bitcoin way back 2010 and it was advertise in a small box and the price is very cheap and I did not believe that the price someday will get high. Also the year 1999 the technology in our country is not taht good enough. And being busy watching playing pokemons at that time.

[angel55]

I have actually read a conspiracy before about the pokemon creator, named Satoshi, is somehow connected to the creation of bitcoin in some way.  I'm not sure about secret meanings hidden in the cards and anime but it is possible.

[Upgate]

The only the thing the picture reminds me of is cartoon movie called Pokemon. I don't see anything relating to bitcoin prediction through Pokemon cartoon. Explaining better will help than uploading picture without evidence
