My cousin thought a limit order was a Bitcoin price prediction My cousin was sitting next to me while I placed a BTC limit buy. He saw me enter a price below the market and asked how I knew Bitcoin would fall to that exact number. I told him I did not know. It was just the highest price I was willing to pay. The order stayed open on BYDFi for two days while BTC moved higher. He looked at it and said, "So your prediction was wrong?" That was when I realized the order ticket had looked like a forecast to him. I canceled the order because I no longer wanted the trade. Bitcoin had never reached my limit, so there was no fill. The used-bike analogy finally made it click: a limit order is an offer, not a prediction. You name the most you will pay, and the seller can take it or leave it.
