Ryō Kōbun, who claims to have come from 2058, is once again stirring the internet world with a new prophecy. This person is known as "Japan's strongest future person," famous for predicting the number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the stock market crash of the Nikkei, and even the timing of Prime Minister Abe's resignation.
The current topic is cryptocurrencies. According to Ryō Kōbun, in December 2019, he used his father's account to buy over 1,400 Ethereum and stored them in a hardware wallet, then buried it in his parents' yard. He plans to dig it up in 2058. The reason he chose Ethereum is that he judged its potential for application to be higher than Bitcoin.
But what's interesting is his statement about Bitcoin. Ryō Kōbun says, "By 2058, Bitcoin will have skyrocketed to an astonishing level, but at that point, you'll only be able to sell and won't be able to buy." In other words, is it a message that there's value in buying now? Supporters are excited about this, interpreting it as "there's still a chance."
However, there is room for debate whether past predictions were truly "divinely accurate." Predictions about economic downturns or political changes can often be guessed by reading the general atmosphere at the time, and some researchers point out that there may be post-hoc adjustments. In Japan, her statements are also criticized for being vague in many parts.
From an investment perspective, even if you follow Ryō Kōbun's "future information," you should first consider your own risk tolerance. Bitcoin and Ethereum have fluctuated significantly since 2024 due to U.S. elections and ETF introductions. Calm, rational judgment is necessary, not just following the hype.
Ultimately, the true identity of this future person remains a mystery. Is he a time traveler, or just a flashy online act? But for the crypto market, stories like this can serve as a catalyst to attract investor interest. Whether true or not, investment always depends on your own judgment and risk management.
