A "future person" from Japan has made another prediction: BTC is going to rise to 4.94 million dollars, after which it can only be sold and not bought?

Question

The self-proclaimed Kōbun Rei from the year 2058 has spoken again. This woman, referred to by netizens as the “most accurate future person in Japan,” has gained quite a following with a series of “divine predictions” - 27 gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics, a big dump of the Nikkei index in March 2020, Shinzo Abe's resignation in September… it seems she has hit the mark.

This time her revelation is related to the crypto circle —

BTC is going to soar to 780 million Japanese Yen?

According to her, Bitcoin will rise to 780 million yen (about 4.94 million dollars) in the future, which sounds outrageous, but that's the point: “In the future, you can only sell, not buy”.

Her logic is that after BTC reaches that price level, there may be no new buying channels, or the attributes of Bitcoin itself may no longer be suitable for trading. This has excited the supporters—implying that it is still possible to buy now, and the opportunity to bottom out is still there.

Why did she buy ETH herself?

Interestingly, she spent a lot of money to buy 1400 Ether at the end of 2019 and buried it in her parents' yard with plans to dig it out in 2058. Why choose ETH instead of BTC? She said that the Ethereum ecosystem has more applications and greater potential for increase.

Translate: She is optimistic about the price ceiling of BTC, but optimistic about the ecological imagination of ETH.

Is she really that accurate?

Some people in the industry also complain that those “prophecies” might be inferred based on the economic situation and political trends at the time, containing an element of luck and the possibility of backtracking afterward. Especially since her statements are often ambiguous, using implications to attract attention.

Investment or Speculation?

In simple terms, whether she is a true time traveler or a marketing genius, this wave of hype has indeed stirred up the long-term value of BTC and ETH again. However, experts advise:

Don't blindly follow her statement about “2030s future value”.
Assess your own risk tolerance before taking action.
Be cautious of market speculation and panic selling triggered by the saying “can only sell, cannot buy”.

Since the beginning of 2024, BTC and ETH have already fluctuated significantly due to positive news such as the U.S. elections and spot ETFs. Staying calm in hot news is the true wisdom for making money.

To quote a popular saying among netizens: There may really be time travelers, or it could just be a glamorous marketing ploy. Let's see how the market plays out later.
