Bitcoin’s Rs 1 crore hangover: Why both bulls and bears are wrong about what happens next

In my July 2025 article I wrote what the bears and bulls predict Bitcoin prices will be in the future. I also gave my assessment and subsequent price action aligned more closely with my moderate thesis than either extreme. That raises an uncomfortable question: was this analysis heard at the time or did it meet the fate of Cassandra?

In Greek mythology, Cassandra was granted the gift of prophecy by Apollo. She could see the future with perfect clarity, but when she rejected the god, he cursed her so that no one would ever believe her warnings. Cassandra foresaw the fall of Troy, warned of the deception of the Trojan Horse, and predicted disaster after disaster yet her words were dismissed as hysteria or pessimism. She was not wrong; she was simply ignored.
