Key Facts

• A viral social media post, shared by crypto account Corleone, shows an anonymous 4chan-style post dated December 20, 2018, with a list of Bitcoin price targets for various dates, including October 2019, February 2021, July 2021, November 2021, April 2022, November 2022, March 2024, July 2024, September 2024, and October 2026.
• The prediction lists Bitcoin price targets, some of which have been accurate, including around $67,000 in November 2021 and near $16,000 during the November 2022 bear-market low, but its authenticity is being questioned due to a lack of verifiable provenance.
• The screenshot claims that a certain group holds "around 90% of total supply" of Bitcoin, which is mathematically impossible, as it would imply control of roughly 18 million BTC, and the top 100 richest Bitcoin addresses control about 15.27% of the BTC supply, while the top 10,000 addresses hold about 53.89% of the same.
• The prediction's final target is $145,000 by October 2026, which would produce a $5.7 trillion market cap, but this figure is mathematically incorrect, as it would imply a market capitalization of around $2.9 trillion at $145,000 per BTC and roughly 20 million BTC in circulation.
• A Binance Square post from July 2024 uses similar wording and targets, but lists Bitcoin at $105,400 in September 2024, whereas a newer viral screenshot shows September 2024 at $74,000 and adds the October 2026 target of $145,000, suggesting the image or prediction list may have been edited over time.
