• aarongertler estimated 43% and said “For all these predictions, I’m a bit more dubious, since I think very few other people will pay as much attention to timing as the EA group. I don’t see much more than 3.5x the interest, and there is 3.5x the money.” on 2018-11-19
• WilliamKiely said “I predict less than 3.5 times the interest (last year $45M was donated through FB; this year $100-$150M seems probable), however I expect the top 4 percentile to be faster. Roughly: The 96th percentile this year is as fast as 99.0th percentile 2017.” on 2018-11-19
