Never forget who said what

By LeftFooted | bitcoinea | 10 Aug 2025


Generally speaking, I don't think people in a position of power should be let off the hook easily.


Depending on what they said, and how they said it, and assuming what they said was only dumb but not illegal, I think they should still be reminded of how wrong they were, and have been.


And they should be laughed at every day.


I don't wanna name names but there's a person that wants to come across as a financial guru who got it so spectacularly wrong with FTX it's almost funny.


And the things this person said to defend themselves (and Bankman-Fried, by the way) were comical.


And yet all we act like this person didn't.


Strange.


Anyway.


In 2019, somebody wrote an article based on an interview with a 'Harvard economist'.


No need to name names.


Just google 'harvard economist' + 'interview' + 'bitcoin' + '2018', and you'll find it.


This person was quoted saying that 'a decade from now, bitcoin is more likely to be $100 than $100,000'.


Less than a decade later, BTC is well over $100,000, and even though anything and everything is possible, it looks unlikely that'll fall back to $100 by 2028.


But who knows, maybe this person will have been right.


We'll see.


But also... we won't, will we?
