Walls of Text TL;DR:
Monero's front face and largest investor rpietila was in a psychiatric institution in Helsinki in 2013 because of a mental breakdown, he also predicted 1 Million USD per Bitcoin by the end of 2013.

Don't believe the Psycho-Risto's words when hes trying to suck u into the Monero XMR scheme by tellin' u that its gonna rise high this year and going to the moon in the long term (risto predicts 35 Billion marketcap of XMR). Obviously it won't - and he knows this very well. WARNING. All that guy want is to make a buck on u... thats all he wants, he dont care about anything other than that.

He was posting that as evidence that everything was running as planned, not trying to make false claims.

It is sad that this thread has turned to be worship of me, but since the matter has surfaced:

The Haikko conference for me was more like a dream.

That's a lie, it was a nightmare for you!

You legitimately tried to sue the hotel for 10 million euros ~100,000 BTC at the time
because you forgot your laptop in the sauna and the staff were walking around
You suspected the staff members of hacking you, you suspected the other attendees of conspiring against you.
you went CRAZY. bonkers crazy.
you were then taken into pyschiatric ward in finland shortly afterwards against your own will. literally had no shoelaces and no access to sharp cutlery for your own safety.

The meeting with the doctor ended in a mutual agreement that I am too manic to continue posting on this forum. As is obvious, harsh measures are needed to prevent me from doing it. For some reason they did not want to just prohibit it. I think it is a part of the care, though. The degrees of freedom must indeed be reduced, to achieve the calm submission to the realities of the outside world. Amen. I submit.

that was your manic phase. 1 million USD per BTC phase. Now you tell everyone the same old shit with XMR- that it will reach few thousand dollars.. 35 biillion dollar market cap? you are crazy.

I don't hate you for your issues, but warn investors to be careful. You wouldn't take trading advice from a schizophrenic bum on the street, so don't do it on forums
