I expected that you would say exactly that. The Mt. Gox debacle is also history now. The price had gone down more than 5 times back in the day, so why not talk about that as well? And let's hope it is actually history by now. Other than that, I for one don't see much sense in so wild speculations. If it gives you some comfort, then more power to you, of course, but don't forget that before we reach 70k tomorrow or even 70M in a couple years for that matter, we still should break plenty of resistance which sits at or around some measly 10k right now.

So basically you just don't want other people to talk about predictions. Why even bother reading and commenting on posts about predictions? You don't like them, just ignore them. Most people like predicting things so its a fun thing discuss. As I didn't make a prediction thread about how far the price is going to go down....because that JUST happened. There's nothing to predict there. People were predicting how far it would go down the past few months. And now that is history too, so there is nothing to predict in that regards. Seriously, if you don't like reading about people talking about the future of bitcoin's price, just don't bother reading it. There's no reason to comment just to complain about how you don't like predictions.

It is not a prediction, it is a wild speculation bordering on wishful thinking as I already said. And yes, I don't want people to talk about that like that as there are a lot of newbies around here who can take these talks seriously and then suffer severe losses just because someone was kinda predicting Bitcoin prices of 70k at bitcointalk. You may indeed say that everyone for himself after all but that you should have said in the OP as a sort of disclaimer. And while I basically agree with this last point, it is not what Bitcoin needs right now. It doesn't need more losers.
