In a surprising and humorous turn of events, Arthur Hayes, the founder of BitMex, recently shared a bold prediction for Ethereum (ETH) on social media. Hayes claimed to have received divine guidance during meditation, humorously attributing the message to Satoshi Nakamoto, Bitcoin‘s mysterious creator.
According to Hayes, the celestial message directed him to divest from his Solana (SOL) holdings and express admiration for Ethereum’s cofounder, Vitalik Buterin. Acting on this guidance, Hayes reportedly sold his Solana assets and doubled down on Ethereum, anticipating a surge that would propel ETH to an impressive $5,000.
Hayes, known for his insightful market analyses, previously predicted Solana’s price to reach $100, a forecast that materialized as SOL recently peaked at $99.6.
The decision to shift from Solana to Ethereum could be based on Hayes’ assessment of market dynamics. While Solana has experienced a remarkable 350% surge since mid-December, Hayes seems to believe that Ethereum has more room for growth. Despite Ethereum trading at yearly highs, its percentage increase in value during the same period is nearly ten times less than Solana’s meteoric rise.
Hayes’ celestial revelation adds a touch of humor to the often serious and unpredictable world of cryptocurrency predictions. As the market continues to evolve, only time will tell if his divine guidance leads to another accurate forecast.
