Dogecoin Founder Mocks Analyst Who Predicted Bitcoin To Reach $1.3M By December: 'He Did The Math'

A pseudonymous crypto analyst is bullish on Bitcoin (CRYPTO: BTC), predicting it should reach a stark target of $1.3 million by December.

What Happened: Pentoshi told his 670,000 followers on Twitter, “I  got to this number by using the January gain average of 42% monthly.”

The analyst added: “will be back around then to take profits. Easy math.”

Dogecoin (CRYPTO: DOGE) founder Shibetoshi Nakamoto mocked the analyst, saying, “he did the math.”

While it may seem that Pentoshi’s math was off, when a Twitter user responded to him saying, “I will put a $5,000 bet on this. You down?” the analyst replied mockingly, “How about $1M that it doesn’t happen. If it doesn’t. I win. And if it does I’ll pay you 2.5m.”
