Recently, a screenshot from Tieba has been circulating in exchange square, claiming that a netizen accurately predicted a series of major events years ago—from the surge in epidemic prevention supplies in 2019, to the rise in precious metals and Trump's re-election in 2020, and even Bitcoin breaking through $120,000. This image has become very popular in the community, with many people exclaiming "Prophet in action" after seeing it.

However, I carefully checked the source. By examining the original post user information and content details, I found that things are completely different. The real title of that post is "Seven years later, I still miss you," which is a web article sharing post authored by Shan Ruan. The rumor image and the content of the original post are entirely different.

To put it simply, this is a case of taking real events that happened today and piecing them together into a "prediction," then falsely presenting an old post from years ago. This kind of operation is most likely to confuse people who don't habitually verify information. I also found the original image from Tieba for comparison; although the poster changed their username, the details do not match.

I hope everyone, when encountering similar "divine predictions" content, asks themselves: Is this really the original words? Don’t be fooled by false information that has been manipulated and distorted.

It's the same old trick, someone always falls for it every time. --- I told you, I've seen over a dozen of these "prophecy posts," and the routine is exactly the same. --- Dare to make up stories even when the details don't match; how confident must you be? --- It's really just magic transfer as an art, truly a skill. --- Every time, someone frantically shares it, then regrets when they find out it's fake—cycle repeats. --- Laugh out loud, a single picture can fool half the community; we really believe anything here. --- This wave is a classic post-hoc prediction, in other words, just making things up. --- You can see through it just by verifying the source, but most people are just unwilling to spend two more minutes. --- The screenshot from the forum can be Photoshopped like this; I think it's not far from "professional counterfeiting." --- Reminds me of those posts claiming "Bitcoin will reach $100,000"; where are they now? --- The magic transfer trick in the crypto world is practically overused; every time, someone believes it. I really can't believe it.

It's the same old trick of switching and grafting, I'm really convinced. --- The original posts on Tieba have been renamed, still trying to fool us, the details don't match at all. --- Wake up, everyone. Post-event armchair strategists are the easiest to fool. --- These kinds of images always go viral, but few actually check the source. --- Sharing online novels and turning them into predictions is truly a brilliant idea. --- The key is that changing the username clearly shows an intent to hide. --- I just want to ask, if this post was really a prediction, why didn't anyone blow up at the time? --- Now, rumors are flying everywhere, even more than in the crypto circle. --- If piecing together events can make someone a prophet, then I can do it too. --- Only very bored people would go to the trouble of fabricating such things, haha. --- If the details don't match and they still insist on making stuff up, that's really low-level operation.

Here we go again, this kind of switcheroo drama has to be staged every month. Another rumor-monger has been exposed. To be honest, these people's imagination is really lacking. They still have the nerve to spread misinformation when the details don't match. This is what we call an information cocoon, friends. I've said it before, the crypto world is never short of these "forecasters" who come up with predictions after the fact. Thanks to the bro for helping us dig into this, otherwise we'd be fooled again.

It's the same old trick of sleight of hand, just like my high-level bottom-fishing being trapped—post hoc armchair strategists piecing together "predictions." The seemingly perfect technical pattern is actually an illusion.

Damn, it's the same old sleight of hand trick, every time someone falls for it, it's just brilliant. --- This kind of fake image rumor is the most disgusting. Clearly it's a post-hoc rationalization, claiming they predicted it in advance. --- So the prediction that Bitcoin would reach 120,000 is also fake? I actually believed it. --- Why do some people go to such lengths to fabricate this kind of stuff? Are they really that bored? --- Verifying the source is a good practice, saves a lot of people from getting scammed. --- Everyone can see through the hype about the pandemic prevention supplies, there's no need for any psychic predictions. --- The original poster changing their username and trying to fool people, haha, such a level. --- Why does it feel like these kinds of rumors are increasing lately? Don't they want to verify them at all? --- Sleight of hand, yes, that's the word. It's the favorite thing the crypto community loves to play with. --- What was the title of that original post again? I want to go see the real story.
