Back in June 2021, <a href="https://u.today/elon-musks-free-speech-tweet-attracts-crypto-community" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Elon Musk</a> tweeted a number sequence that could have been Bitcoin predictions. At least some in the BTC community may have thought so.

A prominent user of the X platform, Bitcoin Archive, has claimed that Elon Musk made three accurate Bitcoin price predictions three years ago. He cited a conversation, in which the tech magnate then stepped in with a comment.
Dogecoin developer Michi Lumin then tweeted that it is a good idea to start tweeting “obtuse and vague things in the hopes that some people will interpret them as coded, meaningful, and mysterious.” The developer pointed out that this was what the Dogecoin cofounder <a href="https://u.today/dogecoin-doge-founder-comments-on-crypto-market-crash" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Billy Markus</a> was already doing, and so was Elon Musk.
Markus did not join the discussion, but Musk did. He responded with a sequence of digits as if to confirm the statement made by Lumin in the tweet. <img alt="Elon Musk Bitcoin predictions" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="fa86359b-372d-4e68-bc70-0d855b721ec9" src="https://u.today/sites/default/files/inline-images/MuskBTC.png">Image via <a href="https://twitter.com/intocryptoverse/status/1415368940612734977" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Twitter/X</a>
Other commentators began to make guesses what these numbers could mean, and prominent crypto trader Benjamin Cowen asked, perhaps jestingly, if by those Musk meant the sequence of Bitcoin prices that he expected to happen in the future. As mentioned above, the Bitcoin Archive X user claimed that Musk made “<a href="https://twitter.com/BTC_Archive/status/1785727260978250133" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">three accurate Bitcoin price predictions</a>.”

Going even further than just “three accurate predictions,” one can check all the numbers posted by Elon to see if they matched any price tags reached by BTC after his tweet and until now.
From the sequence Musk tweeted: Bitcoin reached $61,000 in March 2021 (but that was before he published that tweet), then in November 2021, the world’s paramount cryptocurrency surged to $69,000 (that could be 68 in Elon’s sequence). Then, BTC dropped slightly below $20,000 in July 2022. In March 2024, Bitcoin soared to a historic peak close to $74,000 and then fell back close to $65,000 in late April this year.
Even if some of the digits posted by Musk may seem to coincide with certain Bitcoin price surges and dumps in the past, it is most likely that this was no more than a curious accident, a coincidence, since Musk may have outstanding business intuition but he can hardly predict BTC prices.
