Title: John Mcafee will eat his winkle if BTC isn't $500,000 by 2020 Post by: gentlemand on July 17, 2017, 10:21:15 PM https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/887024683379544065
A bold claim. I'm not sure which is bolder. Ludicrous but fun all the same. I do believe 2020 is going to be pretty spectacular if Bitcoin remains above ground. As an aside can anyone tell me when John Mcafee became a Bitcoin mogul? He seems to have appeared out of nowhere relatively recently. When did he first start talking about it?

I believe Erik Voorhees and Ver had a sit down chat with him at some point and he was hooked ... they are partners in a bitcoin mining venture in WA state since around that time also.

HODLers know. They have known it. The know it. They continue to know. Spartans... Title: Re: John Mcafee will eat his winkle if BTC isn't $500,000 by 2020 Post by: Ted E. Bare on July 17, 2017, 11:31:53 PM Bitcoin may be the TCP/IP of money. I'm hyped as fuck today.

I can assure everyone that when bitcoin isn't anywhere near $500k in 2020 that John will welch on this bet, mystery solved.

Meanwhile a "winkle" is a delicious shellfish, sort of a marine escargot. John Mcafee isn't stupid. $500k bitcoins are certainly within the realm of possibility but not hardly a certainty. I like his style though. Too bad his AV software sucks.

He is completely batty though which might have inspired the tweet. He probably snorted a couple of litres of vodka from some young hooker's eye socket.

As an aside can anyone tell me when John Mcafee became a Bitcoin mogul? He seems to have appeared out of nowhere relatively recently. When did he first start talking about it? It seems really impossible for bitcoin to reach that high half a million in just 3 years and look at it's current price it is really just a dream and it is hard to believe.

Newbies are not gonna make this higher, but companies, that's another story. There's not big money (from companies, banks, governments, etc) in bitcoin yet, and maybe all this FUD was to get rid of weak hands so that the big guys could enter the market and only exchange with the strong ones.

Wonder why and then come back to this thread and be like oh ya a gentleman with a D told me that this would happen one day ^^. (But ya 3 years maybe he's planning gonad surgery or testicular cancer?)

Like when hell freezes over.

When you read the discussion below his tweet it looks like he is talking about a centralized chinese version of Bitcoin, as he is definitely following Jihan who in his opinion is one of the smartest guys out there. Don't know how any normal behaving person can take this guy seriously?!

Those linear graph analysis were created with stock markets in mind, stock markets which are under heavy regulation by the State, with its taxes and policies. Bitcoin have near to zero regulation in most countries, it's a alien monster in the room, so anything is possible.

Buy 100 K BTC. No matter how it ends, you win... . 8)

You can't use the linear graph for bitcoin, because it's a global asset, it is really something unique, massive amount of wealth can flock in and create an huge price increase easily. The people using the linear graph will always see an huge green candle in all time graph and will always think it's going to crash but it will keep going up. |
