Japan's most accurate future person? Rina Kokubun: BTC will soar to this point, can only sell in the future, not buy
The 'future man' who claims to be from the year 2058 speaks again.
Rei Kokubu, known as the 'most accurate future teller in Japan' by netizens, gained great fame for her predictions, including Japan winning 27 gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics, the Nikkei Index plummeting in March 2020, and Shinzo Abe resigning in September 2020. These predictions seemed to align with reality, and her supporters firmly believe that she holds the secret to transcending time and space.
Rei Kokubun claims to have been born in 2034 and studied architecture at the Faculty of Engineering at Tokyo National University. She arrived in the society of that time in December 2019 through a time-travel device. Although there is no scientific evidence for time travel, her series of predictions on X have made her a hot topic on social media.

Crypto Investment Advice: Ethereum is the key, should you only sell after Bitcoin surges?
According to Rieko Kokubun, she used her 'father's account' to buy about 1,400 ethers in December 2019 to early 2020, and then hid these tokens in a hardware wallet buried in her parents' yard, so that she could retrieve them in 2058. The reason she chose ether instead of bitcoin was not because she was pessimistic about bitcoin, but because she believed that the Ethereum ecosystem would provide more opportunities for applications, thereby creating a higher potential for price increases.

However, Rika Kokubun also mentioned that, according to her understanding of the 2058 scenario, although Bitcoin has risen to a staggering height, it can only be sold, not bought. She said that after Bitcoin reaches 780 million yen (about 4.94 million US dollars) in the future, the channels for obtaining new Bitcoins may be restricted, or the characteristics of Bitcoin itself may no longer be suitable for transactions. Her supporters are very excited about this message, believing that it means there is still profit potential in buying Bitcoin at the moment, but only recommend people to be cautious and pay attention to long-term layout.

Is the past successful prediction really 'accurate' in everything?
Looking back at her previous "successful cases", from the number of gold medals at the Tokyo Olympics to the early warning of the COVID-19 pandemic, and even to the timing of Shinzo Abe's resignation, they all indeed show a certain degree of "accuracy". However, some researchers point out that these pieces of information may not be so mysterious. For example, her assertions about economic decline or political changes may be based on the inference made from the economic trends and political rumors at that time, and there may also be elements of luck or post-adjustments.
It is worth noting that her future development mentioned not only the stock market, the epidemic, and politics, but also the major trends of earthquakes, infectious diseases, and cryptocurrencies. However, in the scientific community and the media, most voices still doubt time travel. There are also doubts in Japan, pointing out that her written statement is quite vague or only attracts users' attention with ambiguous hints.
The Truth or Risk Between Prophecy and Investment?
Regardless of authenticity, Kokubun has sparked investor discussions about cryptocurrencies and refocused the long-term potential of digital assets such as Bitcoin and Ethereum. Some investment experts suggest that if you want to follow its "future value in the 2030s" statement, you still need to assess your personal risk tolerance.
On the other hand, some people in the industry are worried that her statement of "sell Bitcoin only" may lead to further speculation in the market or trigger panic selling. Since 2024, the prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum have experienced significant fluctuations due to positive news such as the US election and ETF entry. Investors should remain calm amidst the hype and discussions, and avoid blindly chasing high prices or excessively lowering prices.
In the end, Guo Fenling's 'future human' identity and prophecy are still shrouded in mystery and unknown. For the cryptocurrency market, perhaps this is just an interesting media hype; for some believers, it is a 'prophet' guide. However, whether you believe in future information or not, investment is still a step-by-step self-judgment and risk management.
To borrow a popular saying among netizens: there may indeed be time travelers, or perhaps this is just a grand spectacle. To find out what happens next, we'll have to see how the market and reality develop.
