If predictions were successful in the past, are everything really "accurate"?
Looking back at her past "successful cases", from the number of gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics to the early warnings of the new crown epidemic, to the timing of Shinzo Abe's resignation, they do show a certain degree of "hits". However, some researchers have pointed out that this information may not be so mysterious. For example, her assertions about economic decline or political changes may be based on inferences based on economic trends and political rumors at the time, and may also include elements of luck or the possibility of subsequent adjustments.
What’s more noteworthy is that in addition to the stock market, epidemics and politics, the future developments she mentioned also cover earthquakes, infectious diseases and even the general trend of cryptocurrency. However, most voices in the scientific community and media remain skeptical about time travel. There are also doubts in Japan that her written statements are quite vague, or she may only use ambiguous hints to attract users' attention.
Between Prophecy and Investment: Truth or Risk?
Regardless of its authenticity, Kokubu Rei has sparked investor discussions about cryptocurrencies and has refocused the spotlight on the long-term potential of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Some investment experts suggest that if you intend to follow its "future value in the 2030s" statement, you still need to evaluate your personal risk tolerance first.
On the other hand, regarding her so-called "Bitcoin only has time to sell", some people are worried that this may lead to further speculation in the market or trigger panic selling. Since 2024, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum have fluctuated significantly under the stimulation of bullish news such as the US election and the entry of ETFs; investors should remain calm amid the heat and topics and avoid blindly chasing highs or excessive downward revisions.
In the end, Kokubu Rei's "future person" identity and prophecy are still shrouded in a layer of unknown and mystery. For the encryption market, perhaps this is just an interesting media hype; for some believers, it is a "prophet" guidance. However, whether you believe in future information or not, investing is still a step-by-step process of self-judgment and risk management.
To use a popular saying among netizens: Maybe there are real time travelers, or maybe this is just a gorgeous drama. If you want to know what will happen next, it depends on the subsequent development of the market and reality.
