Topic: [HISTORY] Some Notable Bitcoin's Past Events + Price Prediction Contest. (Read 207 times)

I don't know about the trade but some more information about sirius who built up a Bitcoin exchange, http://www.bitcoinexchange.com/. Later he sold it for 250 bitcoins.

His name is Martti Malmi, you should correct it.

Found his tweet about the trade that was not done on 6 October.
He did it with this transaction https://www.blockchain.com/explorer/transactions/btc/7dff938918f07619abd38e4510890396b1cef4fbeca154fb7aafba8843295ea2
that is labeled as "First sale".

Exactly 14 years ago today ..
The transaction that gave Bitcoin it's first monetary value happened.
It was on the 6th of October, 2009 that a computer science student by the name, Matti Mamli from Finland, known online and on this forum as Sirius sold BTC5,050 Bitcoins for $5.02 dollars. with each Bitcoin valued at $0.0009.

Reference- this information was gotten from binance feed.

Some KOLs are just stating prices out of nowhere and thats really worse. But some of them uses some historical information or technical analysis which quite commendable. I guess it depend on the one you followed or subscribed on. I watching some cause their information is quite good or naturally realistic.

Actually on this space no one is right. Whats the difference of KOLs to bitcoin OG here in terms of opinion is not much relevant since market cant be prrdicted accurately.

Some hates those KOLs for their statement but they not noticing their opinion about price is not different too.

No. I don't mean I discuss about price prediction but your topic presents opinion from influencers. Their voices have power to affect the crowd, to make them FOMO or panic. I would prefer to warn them they when they read opinions from influencers, they must try to figure out that opinions are given based on emotion, personal incentives or based on any models. If based on models, are those models good enough?

Freedom of speech, influencers are free to say what they think but it's your money and influencers don't save you when you get loss. Influencers are not always right as the graphic shows.

Ok, Now, I am actually confused cus I don't know the topic you are commenting on, but based on your statement above, I guess you are discussing on the topic of Bitcoin price prediction.
If I am not wrong with this assumption , then I like to let you know that the price prediction part of my post is just a contest am launching as a fun thing and also my own little way of trying to giving back to this community, it isn't something to be taken serious and I don't intend or want it to act as a decider to or for anyone, as to whether they should invest in Bitcoin or not, I will clearly state and make this disclaimer bold enough for everyone to see as soon as the contest is launched.
I hope this clarifies your argument, thank you sir/ma.

"All models are wrong, but some are useful" but it is based on quantitative then predictive models. Even with good models, there are outliers from the model deviations in order to kill, liquidate people who rely on models. Market works this way and wash-outs must occur one way or another.

For predictions from KOLs, influencers, I don't know how they make their predictions. Do they make it from any model or just get hyped and arbitrarily say any funny prediction. It is very terrible and deadly if you rely on their opinions for your investment in Bitcoin.

You only have to rely on Bitcoin protocol and its Controlled supply. Personally, it is enough for your hodling plan.

Personal Note: Since the emergence of Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, alot of funny, yet important things have happened and are still happening, From individuals coming out to claim they are Satoshi Nakamoto(the inventor(s) of Bitcoin), to other persons guessing/accusing/suspecting some other personalities to be Satoshi Nakamoto, and those suspected coming out to debunk the claim, stating that they are not Satoshi Nakamoto.
All this events(in their details) are going to be housed on this thread, plus other interesting events, and will be regularly updated with fresh events as they happen.
I've decided to create this record of some worthy-of-note Bitcoin's historical events, both past and present.
Every information on this post can be found scattered in different places online, I decided to bring them(the important ones) all together in one place here for easy accessibility to all, most especially newbies that are just learning about bitcoin.
All the events or histories i put down on this post is at least 85 percent based on research and 15 percent based on personal knowledge, so i am open to corrections if you find any mistakes or misconceptions in any part of this post.
Thank you..

When I first came across an article of several individuals who claimed to be Satoshi Nakamoto, the first question that popped up in my mind was "Who really is this Satoshi Nakamoto that everyone is claiming to be?".
It is commonly known or understood that Satoshi Nakamoto is the person or group of persons who invented the Crypto currency which we all know as Bitcoin, Bitcoin has turned out to be the world's best performing crypto asset of all time(^{I hope am right about this}) at the time of making this post.
To fully understand who Satoshi Nakamoto is, let's read Wikipedia's full description of who Satoshi Nakamoto is.

Since the invention of Bitcoin, Satoshi Nakamoto has continued to remain anonymous, and with the huge success and worldwide recognition that Bitcoin have achieved, many individuals tried so hard to take Satoshi's glory, in the table below, we take a look at all the individuals who have claimed or proclaimed themselves Satoshi Nakamoto or have claimed to know Satoshi Nakamoto in person but were unable to prove it.

As some persons are busy claiming to be Satoshi Nakamoto without being able to prove it, some other persons are being openly suspected to be the real Satoshi Nakamoto, and those suspected debunking, saying they are not.
