The Past Is Unpredictable

I love these type of mind-bending sayings. They really make your gray matter boil. How could the past be possibly unpredictable?

It can't, surely, that's the essence of it - it had already been predicted and has already happened. Its interpretations, however, have not! So here's the mind-bender: you don't know how, or at which point, any given person, here on Earth, may come to understand or try reproducing some fact or event from the past. So, let's try using the "what-if" statement and find out something.

Imagine, you bought 1000 bitcoins back in 2010. Now imagine, what you would be doing with your pile of money at current prices. If you don't have specific answers try harder and draw out some scenarios. I do not want to sound like a spiritual guru, but thinking about a what-if, can actually increase the chance of a similar, analogous thing occurring again. In this case it would be buying something cheap now, and watching it appreciate over the next 6-7 years. Sure, it may not produce the same crazy gain, but if you open your mind to finding such a thing, I am sure it will pop up.

So the past is unrpedictable in the way we could potentially put into perspective, or analyze, all that has happened. Just pick a thing.
