So in short: we're all going to die rich, but in a few years already.
While we're at it: what if satoshi was a time traveler who created Bitcoin to take his private keys back to the future?

What is interesting about the text is not the debate about if it is fictional or not. Of course it is a fictional text, the guy didn't travel in time.
What is interesting is the whole concept of what he idealized. Bitcoin going to millions, Reddit tips becoming more money than you ever dreamed of, the citadel for Bitcoin riches, etc.
It is an extrapolation of the reality we all experienced already: 20million dollars pizza is real ,for example

Lol. We're having quite a lot of time travellers already here in the forums nowadays lol. Though i agree with some of your points dude, the time traveller's thoughts were a bit overblown for me. I do believe that btc will have a very essential part to play and it may value quite a lot but not to that extent.

I wonder what happened to Satoshi's 4m bitcoin. Assuming he's already dead
He is not.I wonder what happened to Satoshi's 4m bitcoin. Assuming he's already dead
Well, no one can know that for sure, except for people who may know who he truly is. For the rest of us we can only speculate and logically you would think there's some reason those wallets remain untouched, I have to think that it's because they're not accessible anymore because the information was lost through one path or another. But in this example they were not accounted for so must have been recovered somehow.

Already quite wrong but I do like a good creative reading. The part that really corrupted the whole thing and destroyed the magic was the citadel, having bitcoin at $100k in 2019 is still possible, hell even one million dollars in 2021 is still possible, if he moved the topic further into that he could have been fine.
Nevertheless, he went to the route where there was kingdoms of miners and people who hide in places where rich bitcoin folk would live without working ever and so forth. He didn't had to move the discussion to a futuristic unreal thing if he only kept with the prices.
We have nothing major changing in our world or at least in our day to day lives that promotes the fact that by 2025 there will be automated cities. Maybe cars? That seems like the only futuristic thing we could hope for. Good concept, bad execution.

The post is written in a great attracting manner, that makes you keep reading. However, it's more unrealistic that accurate. Yeah, this guy predicted $10k, but his $100k for 2019 is probably a seriously overrated prediction.
Almost no governments in 7 years? That's also extremely weird. The govs are not only responsible for taxes and economic stability. There are other political, organizational and legal issues they will keep solving even if mass adoption really happens.
Apart from that, this person suggests that deflationary economics in bad in the long run, while Japan has been doing pretty good with it, and the topic is not researched enough.
The story is too dystopian and totally ignores altcoins which are playing a significant part today. Anyway, nice to read, but totally not convincing to dump bitcoin

This was a really intriguing read and a lot of things in this prediction will come true, but probably not because of Bitcoin. It interestingly tied a lot of sci-fi stories in to BTC's potential. I wonder what happened to Satoshi's 4m bitcoin. Assuming he's already dead and those wallets are inaccessible, someone must have found a way.

If this is real
Is this for real?.. Sounds legit.
seriously, guys? four years later, we have the benefit of hindsight. this little detail is all you need to know the post was bullshit:
Is this entire thread satire, or is it some type of daycare facility for people who've suffered brain injuries, strokes or dementia?
A reasonable percentage of people seem to believe that quote is from an actual time traveller... I'm not sure I have the words.
But it is clearer now why so many painfully obvious scams are a wonderful success.

The four institutions with the largest still accessible Bitcoin balance are believed to be as following:
-ASICminer - 50,000 Bitcoin
-ASICminer - 50,000 Bitcoin
does ASICminer even exist anymore? i remember a few years ago trading AM shares was all the rage. i guess this guy didn't predict the demise of ASICminer and the rise of bitmain.
pretty good story though. 9/10. would read again.

I think this is cute and all but I really don't believe it. The account was deleted right after, and there is little to no proof behind his statements. If he actually is from the future why wouldn't he be afraid to prove it? It seems so odd that I actually have to prove that this guy isn't from the future, but people here are willing to believe almost anything. Bitcoin reaching 10k in 2017 is a very common prediction. Furthermore, if he knew how the trend would actually be going, why wouldn't he mention that it actually reached 19k in 2017 instead? Too many holes in this story for me...
I'm preparing a lawsuit for having my chain yanked by this guy. Join me.
If there's one thing that gets my goat it's time travellers who do nothing but prick tease. I know a handful who have done the decent thing and shown me their hovering beard trimmers and talking lawns, but the rest didn't and can go hang as far as I'm concerned.
I myself am my very own great grandfather but I don't like to reflect on it.

This is Reddit post, originally posted in 2014 by Luka Magnotta
https://www.reddit.com/r/Bitcoin/comments/1lfobc/i_am_a_timetraveler_from_the_future_here_to_beg/
I think the most impressive is the date. How come 4 years ago this guy predicted bitcoin price would reach 10k USD in 2017?
This is a very good reading, hope you guys enjoy. Some people may have read it already.

I think I know how this guy "from the future" predict 10 000$ for 2017,he just watch TimDraper2014Prediction ,so maybe Tim is also came from the future...No he is not from future and I see this reddit post few time on this forum,every time I read it I find some extra nonsense in it.
For instance "There are just over 19 million Bitcoin known to be used in the world today",but we all know that millions of BTC are lost over the years,estimates are around 3-5 million have disappeared irretrievably.
Another incredible stupidity is that this timetraveler and his buddies will take 20 nuclear submarines and solve problem of the world by nuke "every densely population area".This is just a bad scenario for some low-cost science fiction movie...

Perhaps this man who foresaw this, someone very clever in this field of prediction, can see several years later, will it predict me for the future? Will I become a very rich millionaire? I realize that the prediction is just luck, sometimes when our struggle can be stopped quickly.
but I do not really believe in predictions predictions that can persuade a person to quit, maybe the person does not have confidence, indeed the future becomes a mystery.

...as the value increased by a factor ten every two years, to 1,000 dollar in 2015, to 10,000 in 2017, 100,000 in 2019, and 1,000,000 in 2021. From here onwards, there's no good way of expressing its value in dollars, as the dollar is no longer used...
This is the best part for me, there's no good way of expressing bitcoin value in dollars, as dollar is no longer used lol

Obviously no predictions what so ever, I don't know why you credit him for his $10k prediction in 2017 when instead it was actually $20,000. Why no mention of that? Also his 2013 prediction of $100 did not mention the $1,200 high that year, nor the subsequent crash back to $100-$200 the year after.
I know this is all in good fun, but please don't even for a second claim he or anyone else was a prophet. I am sure if you counted up the posts from then, there would be just as many predictions claiming $10k in 2017 as there were ones saying it would drop to $0 in 2018.

Economic growth today is about -2% per year. Why is this? If you own more than 0.01 Bitcoin, chances are you don't do anything with your money. There is no inflation, and thus no incentive to invest your money. Just like the medieval ages had no significant economic growth, as wealth was measured in gold, our society has no economic growth either, as people know their 0.01 Bitcoin will be enough to last them a lifetime. The fact that there are still new Bitcoin released is what prevents our world from collapse so far it seems, but people fear that the decline in inflation that will occur during the next block halving may further wreck our economy.
This is ridiculous.This guy doesn`t know anything about how the economy works.The lack of inflation doesn`t mean that there`s no incentive to invest your money.We will use our bitcoins to buy food and clothes,pay the bills and fuel our cars with gas.The only thing that drives an economy to grow is the demand for goods and services.This guy thinks that all goods and services will disappear in the future.
The meadieval ages had no economic growth because of other reasons,not because of the gold ,being used as the main currency.
It is especially ugly when someone clearly stupid in economics, tries to insult someone else for this.
The economy is not only ran by you paying the bills or fueling your car. There are also companies out there worth hundreds of billions. They are the ones who will decide on the economy, not you and your unimportant amount of wealth. And if it's more profitable to be liquid, then to use this money for new investments, then it's not hard to guess on the outcome. It just wouldn't be profitable to invest anywhere, since just sitting on your pile of cash would be risk free profit.
Some bitcoiners are stupid enough to miss this. But majority understand this, and they just don't care. They are blinded by greed and can't notice anything other then their own wallets getting fatter.
Some of the worst people I have met, are from the cryptocurrency scenery.
