Josh and Brian Run Their Annual Crypto Predictions Ritual Again

Every year, as the calendar turns, crypto podcasters and analysts do the same thing: they stick their necks out. Josh and Brian have now done it again with their Crypto Predictions 2024 episode, an annual tradition for the pair in which they put their forecasts for the coming twelve months on the record.

The source description is brief, and it does not list the individual calls they made. So rather than guess at specifics, it is worth looking at what this kind of exercise actually offers readers and listeners.

First, predictions episodes work as a snapshot of sentiment. What hosts choose to focus on, whether that is price levels, regulation, new products or shifts in market structure, says a lot about what the industry is worried about or excited by at that moment. Read a year later, those snapshots are often more revealing than the forecasts themselves.

Second, the annual format creates accountability. When the same people return to the same segment each year, their earlier calls become part of the record. Audiences can check what landed, what missed and what was simply too vague to grade. That habit is rare in a corner of media where bold claims tend to vanish once the market moves on.

Third, the tone matters. These episodes are usually closer to a friendly bet than a research note. They are entertainment with an opinionated edge, not financial advice, and they should be treated that way.

For readers who want to get real value from any predictions roundup, a few simple rules help. Look for calls that are specific enough to be proven wrong. Notice whether the hosts explain their reasoning or just name a number. Separate the forecasts that depend on market prices from those that depend on policy or technology, because they fail in very different ways. And keep your own record, so you can see later who was actually right and who was merely loud.

Crypto is a market that punishes overconfidence, which makes the yearly ritual both fun and instructive. Whether Josh and Brian nailed their 2024 picks is something only the following year could settle, and that is exactly the point of doing it every January.
