So that 'time traveler' has appeared again. The one claiming to have come from 2058, named Rei Kokubu, is apparently called the 'Strongest Future Predictor of Japan' in online circles. There are stories that he's been spot-on about things like the number of gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics, a major crash in the Nikkei average, and the timing of Prime Minister Abe's resignation, which has been increasing his followers.
The content of this future prediction is advice related to crypto investments. He says he came to the present in December 2019 using a time machine, bought a large amount of 1,400 Ethereum at that time, buried it in his parents' yard, and plans to dig it up in 2058. When asked why Ethereum instead of Bitcoin, he said it's because the ecosystem's potential applications are higher than Bitcoin's. Seeing Ethereum currently trading around 2.26K, it's interesting to consider how that judgment might change.
But here's where it gets strange. According to this future prediction, by 2058, Bitcoin will have reached about 780 million yen, but once it hits that point, it will be in a state where 'selling is the only option and buying is impossible.' So, is it a message to buy Bitcoin now? With BTC's current price around 80.58K, there might still be room to buy.
However, there's debate even among experts about whether this past 'accuracy' of the future predictor is truly divine or just post-hoc interpretation. Some point out that predictions of economic downturns or political changes are often just guesses based on the current atmosphere or market rumors. Since he mentions earthquakes, infectious diseases, and crypto markets all, it seems like he’s just hitting some points.
Online, people are feeling ambiguous—like, 'Maybe this is a real time traveler,' or 'Nah, just a joke,' or 'But it might be useful for investment decisions.' Whether the future prediction is true or just a story, the important thing is your own risk management. Whether it's Ethereum or Bitcoin, blindly jumping into the hype isn't advisable. Since 2024, the price movements of BTC and ETH have been heavily influenced by factors like U.S. elections and ETF approvals.
In the end, the true identity of this future predictor remains a mystery. Is it just entertainment, or does he really know the secrets of spacetime? Either way, crypto investing depends entirely on your own judgment and risk management. Don't rely on future predictions—observe the market trends with your own eyes.
