Investor cjc resurfaced Keith Rabois's old predictions, quipping he's never seen someone predict with "100% confidence and 0% accuracy."
The screenshots show Rabois tweeting in late 2011 that "Stripe is going nowhere," and in 2010 that Quora would be "the most valuable company produced post 2005. Period." A recent tweet shows him still betting Nate Silver on multiple US states.
Stripe went on to become a payments giant, making the contrast a viral tech-community moment; Stripe co-founder zeeg amplified the mockery.
