Bitcoin Veteran Anthony Pompliano Disavows Crypto Price Predictions After Incorrect $100,000 BTC Forecast
Responding to recent social media criticism, longtime Bitcoin (BTC) advocate Anthony Pompliano says BTC showed him that price predictions are a fool’s game.
Pompliano, who co-founded investment firm Morgan Creek Digital, recently received backlash from some members of the crypto community for removing Bitcoinfrom his Twitter bio amid the top crypto asset’s current price woes.
Pompliano also removed the laser eyes a symbol of bullishness on BTC from his Twitter profile picture, after years of vocally supporting the asset and issuing huge Bitcoin price predictions.
Laser eyes, gone.
Bitcoin in bio, gone.

Pompliano, however, denies that he has changed his mind about BTC.
“The truth is that I havent changed my mind on anything. Not only do I still have deep conviction in Bitcoin and its future potential, but I have also been buying more Bitcoin, both personally and professionally, over the last few months.
While my conviction in Bitcoin is deeper than ever, there are a number of things that have changed though.”
The investor notes that BTC will “humble anyone.”
“In June 2019, with Bitcoin sitting around $12,000, I predicted that the asset would rise to $100,000 within 2.5 years. Rather than the ~8x increase, Bitcoin only went up ~6x in that time frame. Some people would argue that the difference doesnt matter, but at the end of the day I was wrong. It was a great reminder that humans cant predict the future and price predictions are a fools game. Bitcoin helped to humble me.”
At time of writing, Bitcoin is swapping hands for $21,300, up over 10% on the day.
