Opinion 2025 Predictions: What Will Happen?

[AWilder]

By Late Summer, the US will be in a bad recession. The writing has been on the wall and I think it’s coming big time. They will blame this on Trump, but I think it would have came either way.

Is the writing on the wall Trump's tariffs?

There are a number of strong indicators that a recession is coming irrespective of who is in office. A big lol though that you’re already blaming it on Trump.

 

[JudoThrowFiasco]

US continues to trouce the G7 in GDP growth as well leading next gen tech initiatives. Europe falls harder in both.

Because he consistently loses to me in WR bets. He never lost before and then I beat him in every matchup.

I just pray that this day will come in 2025 and people wake up.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Why do you hate Rob so vehemently?

I don't. I think he's really dishonest and a hack, but there are probably 15 guys who are more or less identical to him. But I do think he's slower than most of them.

 

[Jack V Savage]

Is this honest? You won one bet. And I have always said I'll make bets if I think my odds are 3-1. I don't expect to be perfect. My 14-1 record is better than I would have guessed.

 

[Rob Battisti]

I just pray that this day will come in 2025 and people wake up.

Just like in 2017 when people were crying it went to 4,000?

 

[Jack V Savage]

I think at this point, people should be aware of the risk. The point I've made to Rob is that while we know it's volatile, the movements are inherently unpredictable.

You’re literally less than 2 weeks away from losing and needing to leave the war room for 2 months.

Yes, it is honest.

And I’ve made the point that you have no idea what you’re talking about and are a moron.

Anyway, a 2025 prediction I also have is that Jack will continue to haunt me and follow me around for some reason.

10 of the 12 months anyway since he’s about to be kicked out of here in January.

You know what a pyramid scheme is?

"Sandy Weill's Citigroup engaged in fraud on a massive scale, unfettered risk taking and then needed a massive taxpayer bailout during the 2008 financial crisis because it was so big it couldn't be managed. Yet only now does Weill say it was all a mistake."

Trump wants to eliminate caps on the debt because he plans on absolutely blowing a massive hole in the debt by 2026. After that he could give a sh$t he and Leon will be on their rocket lol.

 

[Morning Star]

School shooting in the USA, Terrorist attack in Europe, Country in the ME is destabilized, Crypto goes up and goes down.

 

[Jack V Savage]

You’re literally less than 2 weeks away from losing and needing to leave the war room for 2 months.

Yes, it is honest.

So your view is that winning one bet is consistently winning bets? And that's an honest statement. You're also wrong in almost all of our other discussions (you claimed there was a recession already starting in 2022, there was a 100% chance of one in 2023, that inflation would remain high after our bet settled, that swing states wouldn't be won by the same person, etc.).

Lmao okay so now a 2 trillion dollar asset is a pyramid scheme

Again, "your" opinions on everything are just downloaded from Hannity or Greenwald, like 15 other people here.

-Ukraine/Russia war will come to a pause for 5 years until Russia is ready to invade again

I was going to go with the war comes to a pause, Ukraine joins NATO and Russia invades another country with less support or tactical use to NATO.

We saw people get their shit blown off before leveraging their asses off.
"
The bitcoin price when it goes up is always fuelled by a high leverage, people using margin borrowing money to buy up the price anticipating the block rewarded halving, so the smallest hairline crack can cause a selloff,” Bobby Lee, chief executive of BTCC, one of the largest bitcoin exchanges in the world based in China, told CNBC by phone on Thursday.

“Bitfinex’s website went down and that was a catalyst for people pulling back, cutting positions, locking in gains. There is waterfall effect where then people are selling, selling, selling.”"

 

[MLarson]

I think it’s always a good way to wrap up the year by making totally uneducated guesses as to what will happen in the upcoming year.

Who knows, maybe even a few good WR Bets may come out of this!

My predictions:

By Late Summer, the US will be in a bad recession. The writing has been on the wall and I think it’s coming big time. They will blame this on Trump, but I think it would have came either way.

Elon Musk and Donald Trump have a nasty break up. I can’t see them being cozy with each other for another year. Trumps ego can’t handle it.

Bitcoin hits 150,000. I have won each of my Bitcoin bets so far. This one is going to happen by the summer just before the crash.

Russian/Ukraine hostilities end with the captured territories voting on where they wish to join. Self explanatory.

Israel continues to push for more territory and the war in Gaza will continue. Self explanatory.

Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi will pass away. Joe and Nance don’t have another 12 months in them.

Okay, let’s see your predictions!

We edge closer to a great depression and WW3.

Let’s see, we have had three bets.

You LOST the first one.

You will LOSE the second one in less than 2 weeks.

You will LOSE the third one in about 2-3 months.

Did I miss any that we bet on that you won?

Remember when I bet that you were a liar and I was willing to bet my account if you could prove me wrong? I remember.

In the 90's while you were in diapers Sandy became famous for F'ing people over in an insurance scheme where he promised big rewards if they sold insurance and got others to jump in to sell it turns out it was a huge turd for most. The dude seems to f people over and still gets out ok. Bitcoin is just a new type of pyramid scheme the people at the top wait for it to drop and then the trigger a selloff and make out big.

"
When WorldCom filed for bankruptcy in July 2002 as a result of a massive accounting fraud, it led to over 12,000 WorldCom employees losing their jobs, their 401(k)s, their medical insurance, and much of the severance they were owed. Some of the employees set up a fund to help each other save their homes or pay critical bills. Even members of Congress were sympathetic to the plight of the workers and contributed to the fund the tens of thousands of dollars that WorldCom had given in political donations.

But billionaire Scrooge, Sanford (Sandy) Weill, who was Chairman and CEO of Citigroup – the firm that was charged with aiding and abetting the fraud and paid a total of $3.05 billion to settle with regulators and defrauded shareholders, has quietly raked in $2,048,226 between 2006 and 2010 from a fund meant for victims of the fraud. Given the role that Weill’s firm played in the fraud, that’s akin to the driver of the getaway car approaching the bank manager after the holdup and asking if he can get his parking comped. "
