That story about “Japan’s strongest future person,” Rei Kokubun, is trending again, but this person’s collection of predictions is honestly so scary-level accurate. The number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, the Nikkei average’s massive crash, the timing of former Prime Minister Abe’s resignation… things like this keep turning into reality one after another, so her followers genuinely believe that she might really have come from 2058.
She claims she was born in 2034, and apparently she arrived in the present by a time machine in December 2019. At that time, she supposedly bought around 1,400 Ethereum aggressively, stored them in a hardware wallet, and buried it in her parents’ yard. She chose Ethereum instead of Bitcoin because she expected the ecosystem’s growth potential. According to Rei Kokubun’s collection of predictions, Ethereum has higher applicability than Bitcoin.
But here’s what makes it interesting. In her account, by 2058 Bitcoin will rise to 780 million yen (about 4.94 million dollars), but at that point it will supposedly be in a “state where you can only sell.” In other words, you won’t be able to buy anything new. Given today’s BTC price of 79.56K and ETH at 2.26K, it suggests that the Bitcoin supply-and-demand balance will have been completely reversed by then.
Of course, researchers and the media are skeptical—arguing that time travel isn’t possible—and they also point out that many parts of her predictions are vague. They say it might just be based on guessing from economic and political trends, or that she adjusted things afterward. Whether Rei Kokubun’s collection of predictions is truly “divinely accurate,” or whether it’s just a mere internet meme, honestly, it’s hard to say.
But this is the interesting part for investors. Since this story came up, discussions about the long-term potential of Bitcoin and Ethereum have become more active. There are a lot of real market factors too, such as the introduction of ETFs and changes in policy. However, her statement that it’s “sell-only” could further fuel speculation and potentially trigger panic selling, so caution is necessary.
In the end, whether Rei Kokubun really came from the future or is just a genius internet meme remains a mystery. But I think investment decisions shouldn’t be swayed by stories like this; they should be made based on your own risk tolerance and real market data. Whether you believe the predictions or not, staying calm is the most important thing.
