Bitcoin's price reaches at least $70,000 within roughly 12 months of the statement
Criterion (>=$70,000 within ~12 months) was NOT met — BTC came within ~$1,000 (~1.5%) but did not print $70k on any major exchange in the window. Note: the claim's stated target ($70k-$73k) was directionally very close to the realized ~$69k peak, though the >=$70k threshold itself was not crossed.
