Rpietila calculates that if crypto-currency can be used by even a small segment of the world's population, then the market cap has to rise to those lofty levels.
He genuinely believes that. It is not some ploy.
My disagreement with him is that there are other powerful interests trying to be the one to spread electronic money globally, e.g. Apple Pay, Paypal, and now even IBM is going to fork Ethereum.
Something amazing is going to happen, it just isn't clear yet whether we small investors can be part of it or not.
We developers need to do everything within our abilities to make it so.
So rpietila may or may not choose the correct horse and racetrack. But he will not be wrong about electronic currency taking over globally.
He's might be right about crypto taking over but criminally wrong in the magnitude and timeline of his price predictions
And you are just an attacker of XMR. You are one of the individuals along with BCX who caused the price to crash without concrete evidence, now you are stepping backwards on your exaggerated claims, along with him. Just as predicted. They were only intended to create FUD and drive the markets down.
