2021
1 prediction- Feb 22, 2021Partially right.“Bitcoin will probably get to $200,000, then a million dollars, in the next decade.”
Bitcoin reached $126,198.07 by October 2025, partially fulfilling the prediction of reaching $200,000 within a decade. However, it did not sustain that level and fell short of the $200,000 target by early May 2026, while the $1 million target remains unresolved.
2020
1 prediction- Dec 17, 2020Missed it.“I'm the next Warren Buffett.”
Chamath crowned himself the next Buffett at the SPAC peak. His IPOA-F vehicles (Clover, Opendoor, SoFi, Virgin Galactic) collectively destroyed billions in retail wealth by 2023; he wound down the SPAC franchise in 2022.
