Two types of predictors in bitcoin market.

[Accardo]

They're those whose responses about bitcoin are always positive and others who were skeptical about bitcoin that are now full-time bitcoiners.

It's clear that such people and responses still exist in recent times, and many users of bitcoin fall prey to the negative predictors. This thread is about two significant people in cryptocurrency; Hal Finney and Michael Saylor who predicted the future of bitcoin, one was positive, the other negative. The false prediction failed and the predictor, Michael Saylor, is now big and deep into bitcoin to an extent of dropping his position as the CEO of Micro strategy to invest completely into bitcoin.

Sometimes, those who have negative thoughts about bitcoin end up becoming full-time bitcoiners in the future and that's a good reason bitcoin users should stay strong in this journey. In the year 2010 Hal Finney's predictions about bitcoin



This is a bullish prediction and if the banks should adopt bitcoin that means they'll be a spike in bitcoin price. Though it looks uncertain, if Michael Saylor after making such a tweet about bitcoin is, today, a big investor of bitcoin then the banks despite the rivalry could change their minds about bitcoin.






As I pointed out in my intro, most people must have changed their minds against bitcoin after reading this tweet. How will they feel to see that Michael Saylor is now for bitcoin? They'll feel disappointed and regret listening to him at first. In summary, stay strong with this journey as those whose perspectives are against bitcoin will definitely, one day, adopt the currency, even the banks.

Michael Saylor isn't the only one to doubt BTC from the start and later love the network, many "true bitcoiners" didn't trust BTC at the start, but i think it is normal with every new technology, people fail to trust it at inception but as time goes on they get to understand a lot about it, then they get involved.

People should not change their minds about anything because of what someone else tweeted, they should research and find out information by themselves. Even if there are people who listened to him then, there is still room to accommodate them all right now .

If you count as Michael Saylor bitcoin predictor to predict about bitcin prices and how bitcoin is gonnabe ifthe future he's laywas positive and always wants people to stay strong even during the bear market and don't sell anything.
Also he biliaves in bitcoin and that'swhy he had bought amounts of bitcoins recently, even if the market price is falling he is possitiv and don't see any new about him selling anything during these days that's why I call him a bitcoin maximalist.

Predictors have two types.

A first type are predictors who have models, foundations and do mathematics for their predictions. I consider they are comprehensive predictors

A second type are predictors who announce their predictions emotionally and don't base on any thing. If you ask them, why do you think and base on what factors you make that predictive price for Bitcoin? I am sure they will not be able to give you good answers.

I wouldn't blame the early doubters. Ponzi schemes were too rampant as at the year 2010 to 2015 and most victims of it label everything related to electronic cash as such. The likes of Michael Saylor always draw conclusions to stuff they do not have knowledge about just to gain social media fame. Sadly the Gen Z are quick to believe almost everything on social media and that's why we see shit coins use the so call social media celebrities to advertise there projects.

Bitcoin is already proving its doubters wrong and just like Saylor many will definitely eat their words and come back to it. Nonetheless no predictions or predictors should be trusted to the core, your personal research is always save.

Good thing that Michael Saylor did not let pride to get in his way and was still able to make public his decision that he finally has nothing against bitcoins after his former stance about it. It also shows that most persons with negative ideas about bitcoins actually are in need for someone to come convince them, that is they need convincing. Do not give up on people who are still skeptical, maybe talking to them can change their minds.

Microstrategy is well known for his bitcoin continuous purchase, Michael Saylor is knownnfor a very long timebforbyis stance with bitcoin, then seing this is another dimension of thoughts created to fuse the mood of the people on the social media, don't always assume every decision made by someone is always the accurate steps to take, this is what Michael have said then it's left for you as well to conduct your own research and derive a conclusion, then if you see what Michael has said to be true, then he had long been into this business of misconception for a long time including all the time and asset he had invested with in buying bitcoin over years, i dont believe all news and people.

You didn't to go deeper, just take a simple answer between Satoshi and banks or governments. Everyday banks and governments mostly hate against Bitcoin because it will ruin their mission to control the whole world including each person activity, money and their live. This will make governments know what they're doing and know what they're want, let's say you're really need new device, then a random sales can knock your door and offer the device you want with a discount, of course they will make easy profit by this!

Banks and governments are really dangerous entity, everyone need to be worried when the governments are using technology to track everyone else.

The beginning of any new invention or innovation is always characterized with skepticism and criticism. In most cases these inventor are seen as lunatics by most persons and there would always be doomsday prediction about such invention or innovative product. Some persons due to pride would keep holding their negative views about a product even after they have known the truth about such invention. I really appreciate Micheal Saylar for swallowing his pride and retracing his path.     

People should not change their minds about anything because of what someone else tweeted, they should research and find out information by themselves. Even if there are people who listened to him then, there is still room to accommodate them all right now .

I also was a critic of Bitcoin. But my own attack was born out of ignorance and lack of education. I viewed Bitcoin like other shitcoins that were mainly developed to defraud and scam people. I had this perception because of the high rate ponzi schemes that disguised themselves as crypto investments. But with the growth of Bitcoin awareness in my location, I was introduced and exposed to the right Bitcoin education that led to the opening of my mind. And it led to my total deliverance from ignorance and conversion to the Bitcoin world of unending opportunities.

Yes, it's either they are,

1. Perma Bears - they usually come out of their hole when the market is turning bad and saying all this kind of negativity. And they took pride of creating a lot of FUD's and cause panic.

2. Perma Bulls - those investors or individuals who really believed that bitcoin will be the end of it all, from being a world currency, to be accepted by government and used as legal tender.

Either category would give reasonable answers simply because there's no right or wrong answer in the first place. Investment by any means has risk and an investor may 'bet' on his/her luck or capabilities as an individual whether which ability is to trust in order to generate profit. I am more of a comprehensive investor and an affectionate one. A combination of two such as reflecting to current occurence in this industry(both good and bad), and while using technical analysis. I am not saying I am a good investor in this industry but rather, to simply point out that in any category of investor you'd fall, it is either loss or profit you'd meet simply because there are no consistencies in this industry.

.. not. .mmn ppl lol the tb we jump lot of
No say that those who always have positive things to say do not necessarily always bring something good to the table. Same goes the other way round.

One favourite paraphrase of Satoshi is how he said Bitcoin would either have massive transaction volumes or zero. That's just being realistic. And we all know what they brought to the table.

[cryptoaddictchie]

Apparently Saylor is now one of those deep investor of bitcoin inspite of being spiteful before about it and now keep buying. He maybe realize its potential when he see adoption is growing and before only just a nuisance and nnoise cause of lack of knowledge about it. Thats how a perspective changed easily when they research something useful about it.

[The Cryptovator]

Predictions should not be taken too seriously. Predictions are never accurate. Those who love Bitcoin will have high expectations, while those who despise Bitcoin will have low expectations. When planning to accumulate Bitcoin, keep the market situation in mind at all times. Holders are unconcerned about whether the prediction is positive or negative. We should prepare our brains to analyze. As a result, we can make our own prediction and proceed.

[kryptqnick]

I don't trust people who were openly very negative about Bitcoin and then stopped. As I see it, they are unreliable, unless they specifically apologise and recognize that they were mistaken earlier. When I googled "Saylor admits being wrong about Bitcoin", I can't see any sincere apologies. I understand people who were mildly skeptical and then gradually became convinced Bitcoiners, but I wouldn't trust Saylor and wouldn't be surprised if at some point he starts spreading FUD about Bitcoin instead.

It is often true that the people who were negatively bearish on Bitcoin once proven to be wrong became full-fledged Bitcoin enthusiasts for a reason that their negative view about Bitcoin has been debunked.  They are not negative about Bitcoin because they are true anti-Bitcoin instead they are just skeptical but open to proof and facts.  These people are even more loyal than most  believers because their doubts and questions are fully debunked by the development and adoption of Bitcoin

Very negative or Very positive, im not really that a fan on hearing out those words from someone, although it is really somewhat good to hear up on having those positive sentiments but there are indeed times which

sentiments are really that turning into the point that it is already that exaggerated or something that cant be possibly happening but well we do have our own perceptions on things in relation to this.

As an investor or individual who do engage out with crypto investment then its always depending on you on how you would really gonna deal up
with these speculations whether you do make yourself affected or not.

[teosanru]

It's really beautiful to see how these predictors even sometimes Change their perspectives based on the market cycles. Like most of them will think of Bitcoin as the greatest invention when the market is at highs and most of it will see it as a complete failure during the bear markets. Which clearly indicates how heavily they are exposed and how much they are in touch with the large institutions who spread the FUD and FOMO both.

Hal's remark was based on a lot of knowledge about Bitcoin.  Saylor likely did not even know what Bitcoin actually was at the time.

All of us likely said something inaccurate about Bitcoin back when we were beginners.  I thought transactions and addresses can not be traced and analyzed and even told others the same misinformation.  Reading Saylor's Tweet feels just like that.  Ultimately, I rather trust words coming from a mouth speaking knowledge than from someone who speaks based on misleading article titles and speculation.  What you posted explains and proves a thing.  Predictions are all about chance.

Remember that not all people will agree on a single idea or thing. We actually hear positive and negative views no matter what we do. As these haters will never see the goodness of one thing but for them is to look and dig the negative one and spread it as they believe this could give them satisfaction.
If you are searching online about Bitcoin it certainly gives you different opinions - negative and positive. It was a question of what is to believe and what is not when some known names and influencers have different views about Bitcoin ( like these two guys that you have mentioned OP). In the end - we use our faith and take the option that we think was right.
