I think we can safely say that Bitcoinsteve knew something about what was going on with Gox.
Whether he was privy to meetings from inside Mtgox (he alluded to "the meeting I just had" in another post) or got wind of the double spend attack from the arse end of the Internet, he knew Gox was in deep shit.
Yet, he tried to milk this knowledge, and bitcoiners, fall all it was worth. And he definitely implied that ALL exchanges would hit $100, and not just for three brief minutes.
I think he's a small time dude who got lucky with info, but may yet be proved right nonetheless.
I will try to help from now on without asking for donations etc.. I really do not want them as btc will be virtually worthless within the next year.
You can't have it both ways, Steve. Try to help, or...you know...
don't.
Saying things like "btc will be virtually worthless within the next year" with no supporting arguments makes you the same as those at the bottom of this forum's vast troll slop bucket.
If you're for real, and not just out to squeeze more donations from people, perhaps you could answer three simple questions:
1. What made you so sure that BTC would hit $100?
2. What was this "meeting" that astonished you, and who was it with? (

3. What makes you think BTC will be worthless within a year?
(Bonus question: why does a man who is "fearing for his life" and facing "many death threats" spends his time pimping coins like fedora and tips in a public cryptocurrency forum such as this?)
Otherwise, I guess we can all just chalk this up to chance and you can go back to playing around with altcoins.
