Complete Prediction History

The $126K ATH May Have Been The Final ATH

2/9/2026$70,120.78
"Despite unprecedented support from the media, Wall Street, and government, Bitcoin is trading below the $69K ATH it first hit in Nov. 2021. At no point in its 16-year history did Bitcoin ever trade below a prior ATH four years later. The $126K ATH may have been the final ATH."

Bitcoin Has No Future

11/19/2025$91,465.99
"Bitcoin has no future. It’s not a good medium of exchange for payments. To the extent you want to use crypto, even @CathieDWood admits stablecoins are better. If you also want a store of value, tokenized gold wins hands down. The race to get out of Bitcoin is on. Don’t be last."

Peter Schiff Says Bitcoin's Recovery Is A 'Dead Cat Bounce' While Gold Makes Another All-Time High

10/14/2025$115,264.88
"Bitcoin also made a new high today, trading above $126K. But it terms of gold, it's still about 15% below its record high. I still think it's too early for Bitcoiners to get excited about the rally. Until Bitcoin can make a new high priced in gold, it's just a bear market rally."

Prior Speculative Gains Don't Qualify Bitcoin As A Store Of Value

7/28/2025$117,924.48
"There is a huge difference between a store of value like gold and a highly speculative digital token like Bitcoin, which has no real value to store. Yes, the price of Bitcoin went way up, but prior speculative gains don't qualify Bitcoin as a store of value for current buyers."

Bitcoin Critic Peter Schiff Explains Why Proof Of Work Makes No Sense

1/26/2025$102,682.5
"It's not backed by energy. Energy is used to create Bitcoin, but that energy is gone after Bitcoin is created. If you own Bitcoin you do not own any stored energy that can be released. Bitcoin is not a battery."

11/12/2024$87,955.81
"Crypto and blockchain will likely go down as the biggest example of popular delusions and the madness of crowds in world history. The overall losses when the bubble finally pops will be staggering."

Bitcoin Will Not Recover

6/18/2022$18,948.8
"Previous declines didn't involve anywhere near the total market cap lost during this decline, nor did they involve massive leverage. This crash is just beginning. #Bitcoin will not recover."

Bitcoin Won't Be Around A Decade From Now

2/17/2022$40,558.95
"People still fixated on #Bitcoin are living in the past. #Gold is the future. The last ten years are irrelevent to what will happen over the next. This is gold's time to shine. Bitcoin's candle will soon blow out. Bitcoin HODLers who fail to grasp the change will lose everything!"

Last Chance to Buy Bitcoin Above $40,000

2/4/2022$41,580.43
"Attention #Bitcoin buyers: This could be your last chance to buy Bitcoin above $40,000. So hurry up and buy those high-priced Sats while supplies last."

The Whales Want Out

9/7/2021$46,856.45
"The idea that #Bitcoin whales deliberately tank the market to shake out the little guys to get their coins is nonsense. The whales don't want the minnows to sell, they want them holding and hoping and buying the dip. The whales want out. They're fishing for dollars, not Bitcoin."

Those Who Invest The Most Will Lose The Most

1/2/2021$32,198.48
"If you never sell your #Bitcoin, what difference does the price make? When it ultimately goes to zero, the percentage loss for all HODLers will be the same, 100%. The significant difference will be how much you pay, not the price. Those who “invest” the most will lose the most."

Bitcoin Has No Value To Store

8/16/2020$11,908.33
"You can store #Bitcoin, but you can't store value as Bitcoin has no value to store. Sure Bitcoin has market value today as speculators still want to buy it. But there is no way to know if anyone of them will still want to buy it in the future."

None More Foolish Than What’s Being Said To Rationalize The Bitcoin Bubble

6/24/2019$11,041.85
"I’ve witnessed several asset bubbles over the years and those trapped inside also say foolish things to rationalize the price rise. But none more foolish than what’s being said to rationalize the Bitcoin bubble. The bigger the bubble, the more foolish one must be not to see it!"

Interest In Bitcoin Is Waining

8/14/2018$6,192.31
"Actually my political and economic tweets get far more attention than my bitcoin tweets. Interest in Bitcoin and crypto currencies in general is waining, hence the price declines."

You Are Transferring Nothing

8/13/2018$6,252.37
"Bitcoin is great to transfer, but not for buying stuff. The reason it’s so easy to transfer is that you are transferring nothing. Actual value is harder to transfer."

Bitcoin Heading To $0.00

12/21/2017$15,561.05
"These currencies are going to trade to zero or pretty close to it when the bubble pops. Right now, the only reason why people are buying bitcoin is because the price is going up. When it turns around, they are not going to sell it for the same reason. There is no value in bitcoin, you can’t use it as money. It’s too slow, too expensive and too vulnerable."

Bitcoin Prices Are Headed To $0.00: Peter Schiff

12/10/2017$15,036.96
"Ultimately, I think bitcoin has really no value. In the market, it has plenty of value. As long as there’s buying, there’s value. But when the buying goes away, so does the value."

Bitcoin Bear Peter Schiff Doubles Down: Even At $4,000 It's Still A Bubble

8/17/2017$4,316.34
"There’s certainly a lot of bullishness about bitcoin and cryptocurrency, and that’s the case with bubbles in general. The psychology of bubbles fuels it. You just become more convinced that it’s going to work. And the higher the price goes, the more convinced you become that you’re right. But it’s not going up because it’s going to work. It’s going up because of speculation…."
