It's a brand new year, and what better way to start a year off than with a big slice of pie? Humble pie.

Smarter than Bit Brain

"If you can beat me - and that's a big "if"! - I will publish a post of those who are "Smarter than Bit Brain" "
From https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@bitbrain/investing-in-crypto-is-too-close-to-gambling

Technically I could get out of this: I wasn't beaten, I was soundly thrashed!

But as much as I enjoy revelling in my own narcissistic glory whenever I can, I have to offset that by admitting when I am at fault. Otherwise I would be a hypocrite, or a politician or something equally despicable, and we can't have that now can we?

Back in the post "Investing in Crypto is too close to gambling!" I made a prediction of an end-of-2018 price for Bitcoin. That post was written half a year ago, when things were very different to what they are now. I was just a little too optimistic with my prediction - well, not "optimistic" per se - I'm a realist, I don't do optimism. Perhaps a more fitting term would be "inaccurate".

Er... HIGHLY innaccurate!

"My entry is: $ 25 050.00"

Ouch

I then invited others to make their own predictions... ... and promised that I would type this post if they beat me. They did.

So congratulations to:

@pandorasbox
- "$25049" (She did mention other lower figures which turned out to be much closer, but this was her "official" submission).
@cryptomeet
- "$20k "
@tradealert
- "10k"
@sames
- "$15,000"

The fact that I beat one other person is not much consolation! Especially since I gave his $27000 submission good odds of winning! 😆

There's one more thing: I also promised that I would award the title of "Crypto Brain of 2018" to the person who comes closest to getting the price right.
