Your mistake was openly bullying people, not being wrong in predicting some price
No one would actually give a fuck if your prediction or prophesy came off false. You are not discouraged from expressing your opinion (whatever that might be as long as it doesn't break the rules, of course), you are discouraged from pissing people off. And it is no good either trying to hide what you had been doing by sticking to all kinds of dodges. If you didn't care why did you decide to lock that thread?
It was not bullying. It was simply a sarcastic tone to get the attention of the people who keep hyping when there is nothing to hype. Also for your information it was not me who locked the thread. A moderator did. Someone must have reported the thread because that someone probably got annoyed.
Just in case, it was not me either locking or reporting that thread. But since you seem to accept that peeps got annoyed with your attitude so much that a moderator had to lock it, how is that different from openly bullying them even if your intention was only to be sarcastic? Personally, I thought you had been deliberately making a provocative post with the aim of setting discord and inciting angry responses from users for your own amusement...
Something that licensed trolls usually do
