I have been reading this post for more than 5 years, and it never stops to amaze me. Such a pity OP was not registered at the time, and therefore anonymous. It would be fun to hear a comment about the prediction becoming almost confirmed as price approaches the $10.000 "a pop".
If you had really been reading this thread for more than 5 years, at some point you would have realized that OP only became anonymous after he was banned. So he was not anonymous at the time of posting the OP. His user name was Atlas, and some folks believe that he was a bit unstable and suicidal, so it is possible that he is no longer alive, even though he was pretty young at the time that he posted the OP.
