    They Weren't the Only Ones Wrong

    John Q. Public wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€œBitcoin is a joke perpetuated on a gullible investing public.”

    β€” John Q. Public

    $624

    Peter Schiff wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€œ#Bitcoin won't be around a decade from now.”

    β€” Peter Schiff

    $40,094

    Robert Nielsen wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€œThe idea that desperately poor people with limited access to basic necessities will have the technology and the expertise (or need) to use bitcoin is laughable. It is delusional to believe that Bitcoin will be saved by people without access to running water. The people of the Third World have bigger concerns than a decentralised peer-to-peer electronic currency.”

    β€” Robert Nielsen

    $428

    Warren Buffett wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€” Larry Fink

    $5,558

    β€œI agree I would short it if there was an easy way to do it.”

    β€” Bill Gates

    $8,451

    Stephen Isaacs wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€œI don’t know where it will end or how it will end, but it will end. And when it ends, it will be ugly because there will be nothing there.”

    $55,685

    Steve Hanke wrong Bitcoin prediction poster

    β€œ#Bitcoin is an asset that is extremely volatile, susceptible to fraud, and highly uncertain. What could go wrong? Bitcoin is nothing more than a highly speculative asset with a fundamental value of ZERO.”

    β€” Steve Hanke

    $42,205
