Nostradamus
Nostradamus was, if nothing else, a curious fellow. In the 16th Century, he wrote various books of predictions, many of which people believe to have come true. There is just one little problem with his predictions, they are so vague that they could be applied to almost anything.
I’m sure if I dug deep enough I could find a reference to Ryzen somewhere and in addition, even possibly sex robots.
One member of the Reddit community believes he may have found proof of a new prediction. Despite being written over 500 years ago, Reddit user Viper2097 believes that he has found proof that Nostradamus predicted cryptocurrencies.
While I am sure he is delighted with this discovery, he does acknowledge the whole dubious nature of it. As such in a report via Metro, the post begins with the line: ‘Ok, that (this) may be a bit of a stretch but honestly, Check THIS OUT!’
The prediction!
Taken from his Prophecies book, the prediction speaks of fallen nations and a new form of money which comes from the ashes.
The prediction reads: “Alas, how we will see a great nation sorely troubled and the holy law in utter ruin. Christianity (governed) throughout by other laws, when a new source of gold and silver is discovered. Through lightning in the arch gold and silver melted, Of two captives one will eat the other: The greatest one of the city stretched out, When submerged the fleet will swim.”
He continues: “They will prepare idols of Kings and Princes, Soothsayers and empty prophets elevated: Horn, victim of gold, and azure, dazzling. The great credit of gold and abundance of silver will cause honour to be blinded by lust; the offence of the adulterer will become known, which will occur to his great dishonour. The copies of gold and silver inflated, which after the theft were thrown into the lake, at the discovery that all is exhausted and dissipated by the debt. All scrips and bonds will be wiped out.”
Personally, I’m not convinced. As above, I think that most of his predictions can be applied to a number of situations. In addition, I’m not entirely certain which nations have collapsed yet. Unless, of course, that is to come.
What do you think? Did Nostradamus predict cryptocurrencies? Is someone reading a little too much into this? Do you have your own prediction? – Let us know in the comments!
The things described would take time to come to pass, If there is truth to his abilities and what he saw and wrote many predictions such as those attributed to WW2 and so on touch on events over spans of 10, 20 + years or longer. This makes me think of removing the gold standard from the dollar/money and the nbations fallen makes me think of the fall of the soviet union and problems in Europe , Asia, South America The fall of facism, communism, hard economic times are still hurting people and the rise of the EU, how would Nostradamus interpret these things? He lived in a time of Facism, these predictions sound negative but we may know them as positive; The fall of Christian Law? Yes Please! (I wonder how horrified he would have been to see Wiccans practicing freely much less other spiritualist, gnostic, occult groups) The Adultary, Im sure many thought of Clinton, and I could go on but BTC is about to do its last drop and pop….
