Look at the various prophecies circulated over the years. Can they really be trusted? Let's analyze them one by one.



**2019 saying to wear masks?** Later, the pandemic actually arrived, and everyone started wearing masks. At first glance, it seems quite accurate, but actually not. The COVID-19 pandemic broke out in 2020, and no one predicted it in 2019. This is a post hoc fallacy of correlation; there was no widespread mask-wearing demand at that time.

**Predictions for 2020:** The idea of stacking gold is somewhat related. That year, the pandemic impacted the global economy, and gold prices did experience a phased increase. But this was more a natural market reaction to risk, not a precise forecast. As for Trump being president for two terms? Trump lost the 2020 election and served only one term as U.S. President. This prediction was directly proven wrong.

**Will Bitcoin reach $120,000 in 2025?** It's now early 2026, and Bitcoin's price has not reached that level. The crypto market is influenced by policy trends, investor sentiment, and other factors. Such specific numerical predictions lack real basis. Shouting slogans is easy; actual achievement is difficult.

**"Chinese coin" skyrocketing by over a hundred thousand times in 2026?** First, it must be clarified that there is no clear financial instrument called "Chinese coin." Even if there were, currency value is strictly regulated by national policies and economic fundamentals. Claiming a "hundred thousand times" surge violates basic economic principles and is completely unrealistic. As for the phrase "unstoppable"? Coincidentally, that was the theme of the 2026 Spring Festival Gala, but it was just a coincidence. The Gala's theme was centered around zodiac culture and creative planning, with no relation to any currency.

**AI era fully arriving in 2030?** AI technology has indeed been advancing rapidly over the years, but saying it will "completely arrive" is too absolute. Technological development is a continuous iterative process, with no definitive time point.

**In summary:** Predictions are unreliable, markets carry risks, and investments should be cautious. Don't be swayed by unverified claims; looking at data and thinking carefully is the right approach.

Another one of these prediction posts, really. After seeing so many, you become numb. I still remember when Bitcoin was at 120,000, but guess what, it hasn't even reached that... Any big crypto influencer just calls out a number, and a bunch of people follow suit. Ultimately, it's still FOMO at play.

Here we go again, the soothsayers just love to brag, anyway they can twist the story. --- That 120,000 USDT for bt, I was really waiting to die, still dreaming about it now. --- Chinese coins skyrocketing by over a hundred thousand times? Haha, that’s hilarious. What kind of virtual currency is that? --- The gold hoarding is barely relevant; everything else is just armchair quarterbacking after the fact. --- The key is that these predictions are everywhere. If one out of a hundred is right, they start bragging. Nobody remembers the ninety-nine times they were wrong. --- Honestly, crypto predictions are less reliable than weather forecasts. --- Trump’s two terms directly proved the prophets wrong. They need to catch up on their lessons. --- Instead of listening to these nonsense predictions, it’s better to look at the K-line for real insights. --- Value investors hate these specific numerical forecasts; they lack logic in the first place. --- Can the Spring Festival Gala theme even be about coins? Isn’t that a bit crazy, bro?

It's the same "prophet" act again, our community has to deal with this kind of rhetoric every year. Honestly, about the $120,000 prediction, I already said in the group at the time—nonsense, the larger the number, the easier it is to fool people. That part about Chinese coins was hilarious, forcing the Spring Festival Gala theme into a reason for coin price increases? The logic is almost the same as my sleepwalking ramblings.

It's the same old story again. Every time, someone makes these extravagant predictions, and the backlash comes even faster than expected.
