I think speculating about fiat price projections is exceptionally cringe, so I mostly stay off Twitter. There are actually a few gems there, but every time I go I end up more annoyed than when I started.
There are some Bitcoiners I respect who are on there doing fiat price projections, Back being one of them. I honestly just chalk it up to being a form of public relations, and like PR, most of us aren't cut out for it. “Number Go Up” is an effective marketing tactic that brings more people into the network, but many of them will dive into crypto scams to “find the next Bitcoin.” They're also likely to lose whatever Bitcoin they acquire, so that's not great. It gets attention though 🤷 NgU is what got my attention in '17. It's very low bar stuff, but most marketing is.
Even so, I'm glad most of us here aren't into the NGU clown show.
This is absolutely clown 🤡 all the way through. Imagine not talking btc for a btc wallet.
Yeah, people that comes here mostly for the NgU will en up in other coins. I've tried to orange-pill people, and they have ended telling me "thank you for teaching me, I bought Solana and Ethereum, because they're cheaper than BTC".
So if you approach them from the NgU perspective, I think it's mostly impossible.
