From Wikipedia
A hyperstition is a self-fulfilling idea that becomes real through its own existence. The price of Bitcoin, Roko's Basilisk, accelerationism, and the QAnon conspiracy theory have all been described as hyperstitions. Self-fulfilling prophecies are a kind of hyperstition where predictions are made about the future that become true by being known. The concept was coined by Nick Land in 1995 as a portmanteau of hyper- and superstition, during his time at the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit developing the philosophy of accelerationism.
