Bitcoin’s Doom: A Co-Founder’s Dark Prediction

Key Takeaways

  • Wikipedia’s ghost whispers: Bitcoin won’t vanish, but it’s doomed to haunt the shadows.
  • By 2050, it’ll be cheaper than a loaf of bread-assuming anyone still buys bread.
  • Call it a failure? More like a tragic opera, sung by delusional investors.
  • Market cheerleaders? They’re probably drunk on crypto Kool-Aid.

Yet, despite his gloomy prophecies, the co-founder admits Bitcoin’s code is sturdier than a factory worker’s spine. A marvel of engineering, he says, unless some genius cracks it with a coffee-stained keyboard or a 51% attack turns the network into a circus act.

In comments penned in 2026, Wales declared Bitcoin’s survival depends on a miracle-or a software patch. “The community will fork,” he said, as if that’s a comforting thought. Forks? More like a knife to the heart.

Sub-$10,000 by 2050?

Wales envisions a future where Bitcoin is a relic, traded by hobbyists who think “hodling” is a sport. A “complete failure,” he sneers, as if Bitcoin’s volatility is its fault. What, did he expect it to be a passive income machine? Poor thing.

He also scoffs at AI’s love for crypto, calling it “overstated.” Maybe AI’s too busy plotting world domination to care about digital gold.

Bitcoin vs. Gold

Gold, Wales argues, is the OG-tangible, timeless, and not reliant on a bunch of miners burning electricity for a game of digital chicken. Bitcoin, by contrast, is a fragile dream, powered by the delusions of the desperate.

Still, he insists Bitcoin’s code is bulletproof. A comforting lie, like a factory owner promising “safe working conditions.”

Market Disagrees

While Wales weeps into his tea, the market dances on. VanEck’s projections? A fantasyland where Bitcoin hits $50 million. Polymarket traders? Gambling on a miracle, as usual.

Corporations? They’re buying Bitcoin like it’s the next big thing-probably because they’re too busy to think straight.

Other Wikipedia Voices and Blockchain

Sanger, Wales’ former partner, dabbled in blockchain but quit. Now he’s obsessed with Wikipedia’s “bias,” as if that’s a scandal. Meanwhile, Bitcoin’s fate is decided by men who’ve never held a real asset.

A Debate Far From Settled

Wales’ prophecy is a mirror: some see a dying star, others a phoenix. But in the end, Bitcoin’s story is one of hope, greed, and the eternal struggle between the haves and the have-nots. Or as Gorky might say, “The people will rise… or perish trying.”
