Bitcoin Forum

So here, what we really want to understand is the probability of bitcoin reaching $500,000. The market cap will have to be $8 trillion dollar for bitcoin to hit that landmark. So do you think there is  a little probability for that??? ;)

I personally think that $100K can be achieved in next couple years, but $500K looks too hard to achieve as yet but it is highly volatile crypto market, you never know what happens.

I don't think so and why? The majority of experts are knowing about John as only a speculators. Said so many people are never thinking about that. Loot at the chart and then you will be seeing about the fact bitcoin worth only 10,5k at the moment. In 3 years the total supply of bitcoin will not have reached. that means if that was a crap statement from john mcafee to make FOMO.

I don't think it's possible. Just think about it, if Bitcoin would hit 500.000$, how much room do you think it will have to grow then ?
I mean, who would buy bitcoin for 500.000$? :)

Do you believe John McAfee? I believe that everything is possible in cryptocurrencies. Following the trend of growth that is the value that should reach. But rules and regulations could come to stop the race

Rules and regulations can also work in favor of the crypto market in general and bitcoin to be specific, as investor's confidence will grow and big investors will jump in crypto market once it gets fully legal and compliant globallly.

Im believe,  nothing imposiple in cryptoword,  mc afee is the best promotor in cryptocurrency,  He must have a reason to say bitcoin for $ 500k in 3 years,

Bitcoin price might stop rising that much due to all altcoins and tokens sprouting out everywhere.

But McAfee is a paranoied mad mad...he's probably right.

500,000$ is high, really high... As showbiz111 stated, hitting 500k mark would mean 8 trillion dollars of market cap. You don't understand how big 8 trillion dollars is. For comparison: in 2017, GWP (Gross World Product) was 80 trillion dollars and it's rising aound 1 trillion each year. What McAfee suggesting is that BTC alone will make up %10 of worlds economy. What will happen to altcoins? What he's saying is lunacy.

500k sounds like a very low probability. But you know, impossible to say how high the bubble will go at it's highest in a couple of years. Not impossible, but don't count on it. 100k will be fun enough  ;D

I don't think the price of the bitcoin will increase at $500k because even you wait few years it will not happen.  Brcause the possible price of the bitcoin and this is the highest and the percent to happen is very low which is $100k. Or maybe bitcoin will die in the next few years.

Do you remember the bitcoin price at the beginning of last year? At the beginning of last year, bitcoin prices only ranged between $800 - $1000. Are you predicting bitcoin prices could rise to 20 times by the end of last year? Everyone does not think and by the end of the year, bitcoin reaches $19,000 even nearly $20,000.

That is a surprise and I am sure such a thing will happen again. 3 years from now it's possible to bitcoin achieve it.
I do not expect to reach $ 500,000, but I'm sure bitcoin will exceed the highest price in the last year.

In early December, still believed. Now it is difficult to imagine, but everything can change at any moment

When we look at the price of 500k it sounds enormous. But Bitcoin have surprised us many times or not with his value.
I think it is possible. That would be just 50x from current price or 25 from the highest price of Bitcoin.

I think 100k is a great target for now and 500k will need some more time.. It will be a hard time to survive until we hit 100k for 1 BTC. But it is possible and maybe we will see 100k next year or in end of 2018!

It sounds mostly plausible. By the end of this year it's mostly expected to hit around 100k mark. If that happens, seeing something close to 500k in 3 years seems rational.

It is hard to imagine achieving such a high price in 3 years. What would have to happen to the price rose to $ 500k. I think all countries would have to legalize cryptocurrencies. I think that 100k $ is already a very high price.

John McAfee can speculate it at any value but I think $500k in 3 years is not achievable. Maybe we'll see it around $100k after 3 years.

I think the chance for bitcoin to reach $ 500000 in 3 years is 0.1%. very difficult. Need a lot of investment in cryptop. to achieve such a price ;D

As the market cap increases, the % gains typically reduce in markets, much easier to go from $1000 to $10,000 per coin vs $10,000 to $100,000
If we have a really good year, perhaps $50k at the end of this year, then back down she will go early next year

I think it could be possible in 3 years --> this year i think we will reach 50k - 70k

I wouldn't pay too much attention to what John McAfee is saying, he is known for creating hypes about some shitty coins so he can sell these at a high price.

If Bitcoin is $500000, it is 10 times $50000. Last year, in January the price of Bitcoin was $800 and in December the price was $20000. It is 20 times $1000.  Suppose that this year or next year the Bitcoin price reach $50000, then it is still possible that the price of Bitcoin reach $500000 in 3 years.

most likeley 100k-200k I don't see it hitting 500k within that time frame.

It is expected to hit to a close mark around 100k by the end of this year. If that speculation comes out the way people expect it, something close to 500k isn't impossible. That's all I'm saying.

Because of his love John McAfee on bitcoin is so high that his prediction is sometimes considered unreasonable, Yes $ 500.000 is a fantastic price.
I think John McAfee's prediction may be true if in association with the current supply of bitcoin about 20% and probably by 2020 bitcoin supply only 4% left. Probably all know the high price of bitcoin measured by the large supply and demand.

Who could imagine in 2013 that bitcoin will reach 10k or even 20k? But it reached 20k by the end of 2017 and even now the price is still good if you invested in 2013.
500k from 20k is only x25 which is nothing comparing to growth from 100$ to 20k$ (x200)

He runs several ICO projects as an advisor and all the projects he runs are very successful.
His company is a well-known company so trust becomes capital for the success of his project. I think it's very realistic.

if you see the progress of bitcoin from year to year $ 500K in the next 3 years is not impossible. Why ?

Do you know what bitcoin prices are in early 2017 ?
Under $1000

Do you know what bitcoin prices are at the end of 2017 ?
Almost $20K

So that means that bitcoin prices are up 20x in just a year. If a year rises by 20x means in 3 years bitcoin prices will rise 60x or more
So now you can calculate how much 60x from the current bitcoin price ;D

although I believe that BTC certainly has a good future but I do not think that it can reach that target in 3 years. It is an impossible mission unless most of the countries in the world accept cryptocurrency.

Well its being positive, they knew how the technology will be a great help, having proper analysis and experience and knowing people trust them will give a big impact for the community.

Actually, he updated his bitcoin price forecast to $1 million by end of 2020 a few months ago in a tweet!
 There are  some others who have bitcoin going to $500K - $1 million  over next 5-10 years as well.
Time will tell!

It is possible. Crypto analyst, Clif High has forecasted bitcoin going over $1 million over long-term but no exact timeframe like Mcafee.

I believe bitcoin has more room to grow. What John McAfee predicted is quite possible. Remember bitcoin worth less than a dollar before and now its already 10k that huge price leap seems impossible for some but nothing is impossible in crypto. If bitcoin will hit atleast 50k this year then more likely the possibility to hit $500k in 3 years is much more achievable.

No, he is influential and shamelessly using social media to advertise those ICO to success.
For him to say that "Bitcoin will hit $500k" spells a possible new Pump attempt to Bitcoin, this is too unrealistic but, a price surge might be possible after a month.
As soon as we see another $13,000+ BTC price, expect the small fishes to follow that buy signal. And boom, a Pump.

Seriously, a $500,000 BTC even after 5 years is theoretically impossible.

Personally, I think it's going to be $50,000 in the next few years, but $500,000 seems too difficult to achieve.

If China and the United States recognize bitcoin. A $500,000 bitcoin is still possible.

I am not too sure he has any influence over Bitcoin price fluctuations. but he knows this opportunity and he uses it well. the company will continue to adapt the current technological developments.

Its not a little probability by doing maths and estimate the possible growth by years anyone can make a good speculation but the majority of it can be hit or be over because bitcoins ATH is always surprising how much is the real price when it goes up. The conclusion is speculation can be reach that or not we don't know it in the future.

No way in the world a bitcoin can be worth half of a million dollars, McAfee is known for being super hyperbolic

Just saw a recent Mcafee's interview with a reporter on youtube and there he is defending his $1m bitcoin bet saying he never loses a bet. Also said that $1m is a conservative bet just to be safe and bitcoin could be higher than that.  Take all this with a grain of salt and hodl.

since bitcoin price up From $900 to $20,000 (i mean almost)
i dont know must believe or not about people prediction.
if he predict btc up to 500k usd , its fine .
i will take that.
more people in the world now predict about btc price.
just choose what you want to choose and follow , or u can ignore all of them.

I don't think so, like some one else said, an 8 trillion cap is crazy high, but in saying this I wouldn't compare it to world GDP, an 8 trillion cap doesn't mean 8 trillion has been put in, a better way to look at it is to compare to total stock market cap value, all stock exchanges on the planet have a total cap of around 70 trillion, so BTC would have to make up over 10% in value of this alone, I really can't see this happening, even past 3 years.

The difference in stocks vs crypto though is a stock has a minimum buy price, you can only buy a minimum of 1 stock, with bitcoin if you have a lot of fractional buys this can shift the buy/sell walls up in value without the combined value equalling one bitcoin, so bitcoin can grow in cap easier than a stock in my eyes, this also makes it more prone to being a huge bubble and also more prone to huge dips when people sell off, it's part of why crypto is quite volatile.

Just picture when you see small fractional purchases on your altcoins driving up the buy price, in stocks this would have to be 1 whole stock to do the same.

So anything is possible, I just think the psychological shift we will see when BTC has a cap over the largest companies on the planet, the bubble talk will be at an ATH too, meaning the view of risk will go up with it.

I don't think so. My opinion is if it still will be alive then price will be around 100k maximum.

John Mcafee is only a human being. And noone know what will be the value of bitcoin in the future. And $500,000 is too high. Bitcoin will not hit that mark.

I believe $500,000 / BTC in 3 years was John McAfee's Original speculation, but he has since updated it to $1,000,000 / BTC in 3 years which I believe to be entirely possible.

The entire crypto market is deep in the trough right now but by the end of 2018 it will have vastly increased since the start of this year, and will continue to do so for the next few coming years in my opinion. I believe strongly in the future of crypto, so I may be biased but I definitely see Bitcoin in the $500,000 to $1,000,000 range in 3 years time.

three years is quite a long time to wait for changes in the price of the coins. for bitcoin it reaches that price possibilities still exist but I think is very small. speculating is okay but must need strong analytical basis.

Definitely not, that is way too high. John McAfee is just the leader of a pump and dump group who is paid to pump coins - even crap shitcoins. It will be around $100,000 and sit there for a while. It is hard to justify paying half a million for a bitcoin when there are so many alternative coins flooding the market.

I hope so. I really do not want to watch him eat his own dick on national TV.
Yuck!

That would be end of the banks and they are capable of prevent it happening

I also don't like that he just gives his predictions without any explanations. I once bought REDD coin based on his recommandations and lost money on it.

I hope so. I think it's more than possible nowadays capitalization of whole cryptocurrency so small in compare with other currency and business so  when big money come to crypto  bitcoin can reach the moon.

Amazing thing about Bitcoin,and generaly about crypto world is that everything is possible. It might go even over that in less timeline than speculated or go down totaly the opposite way. I think its got good shot at this!

bitcoin has always been like this. a roller coaster!
price is always crawling up slowly but from time to time this slow rise trend changes into a fast and huge rise eventually ending up with a big bubble. it has already happened 6 or 7 times in the past and will happen more in the future too. then when the bubble bursts, the correction of it never stops. the price always goes much lower than the bottom. like right now that the dump is going on pushing the price so much below the real price and it will last.

long story short, this downtrend will also end and when the whales accumulated enough at the bottom and bought bitcoin underpriced they will let it rise and by then price will shoot to the moon. $500k looks possible by then.

Who would have thought 7 years ago will be worth this much, it's possible to increase ten times, but I doubt that level in 3 years, it's just impossible I prefer Bitcoin to go slow but sure than a big pump then huge crash afterward.

hi guys im newbie here can i do bounty hunting and trade about 10 years or so?. i want to quit my job
is there any future about trading and joing at airdrops?

I hope and i though what he say will be all right but not this year or next year and also not $500k probably bitcoin can goes to $100k by 2021 in january or februari and at the end of 2021 year we probably can see bitcoin price soar to $700k. Because at that year halving happen in 2020 then cost of production of bitcoin will increase very much.

Nope I don't think so but we can expect a min of 100-120 k  $ in value which in turn is huge,and he shouldn't done the shit coin promotion which he had done in December ,he would have been a reputable figure if he hasn't done these promotion,he could have taken advisor route.

Well, nothing is impossible in crypto. Although $500,000 in 3 years  is not so realistic, there is a possibility that it will happen.

Disclaimer: I don’t follow McAfee or believe in what he is doing.

Everyone would hope and sayapun will always be positive, what he said will be fine, but that will happen not only $ 500k maybe bitcoin can reach $ 100k in 2021 but it is clear by the end of 2021 bitcoin will again stabilized to $ 700 .. because maybe in 2020 there will be quite a lot of expenditure.

This old man will say or write anything for money. That's funny. Probably, he said this when he was selling his tokens at the maximum price. And now he buys them, if I meet him on the street, I'll spit in his face.

John Mcaffee is scam if you didnt realised yet and he will probably will not need to cut his dick off because he is also old man and will die before 2021.

Why would anyone think it would go up to a million dollars because today's value doesn't support the global use of the currency.

personally i don't believe it,,
because this is very unrealistic price for me
but if bitcoin hit about 200K USD in three years is more realistic for me,,

McAfee already starts eating your penis. No one trusts him after he has speculated on many altcoins. I respect your work and your confidence in BitCoin, but it starts to pierce. The explanations you make are not the explanations that smart people will make

he brought people to the gas and took the money. I think he was on sale when he showed up. and he went on stage to finish the game. he needs to shut up before he gets any more morale. tell him there's a total Crypto assents..

That would be end of the banks and they are capable of prevent it happening

I wish bitcoin can reach that high in just 3 years so we all can become rich but that $500,000 is very excessive. We can't even sure if bitcoin can reach $50,000. We are now aware of mind conditioning. People should speak justifiable amounts.

John McAfee can predict like everyone else but it is not important his predictions will come true. In fact no one can be so sure about the future of crypto. The market is the second name of uncertainty. Besides, he is talking about a long time and in the long run every one is dead.

Three years are way to away and no one can wait until 2021. On the other hand, people are really exited about the December of the year and hope to get their portfolios with good worth.

I don't think bitcoin will hit half million dollars after 3 years from now. I don't know who is John McAfee even the best researcher or anyone can predict what really happen in the price in the future. But if it's happen if I have 2 bitcoin Im become millionaire on that year. But that's very unrealistic many people believe on that but it's their choice because dream is totally free so what how much your predict it's up to you.

See every one has his own predictions about the Bitcoin, John McAfee is completely cryptocurrency fan from the begining but $500,000 is really big but we don't know whether it will reach to that price but previously when it was at 1000$ we never though it will reach to more than $19000. If you believe in Bitcoin keep investing if not better stay away.

I think that is a very hard target to reach. $50,000 will be much more achievable. I believe we can make it within 2 years. But first, we need to overcome this current bear market.

For everyone that are not updated with this prediction, it was changed to $1,000,000.
I don't believe with McAfee anymore and you know what's the latest news about him? His planning to run for US presidency.

I wouldnt trust anything that John McAfee says because that guy is crazy af,only reason that he is involved in crypto is to earn money.He is asking 100k$ per twitt to shill shitcoins so you can figure why he is really here

Well, he has just over 3 weeks for his 10k Bitcoin prediction in June 2018, not that if it happens my impression of him will improve. In fact, not that anyone's perception of him will change whether or not his predictions come true. I think it was quite fun for a while to hear his trolling and shilling, but I feel we are giving guys like him too much attention and space. You know, like in real life, the guy who brags keeps bragging because we pay him attention.

Not to say ignore him, but we don't have to make a gospel out of everything he says.

Although I think bitcoin has a great potential to reach incredible values in the future, I think $500,000 is an extremely high prediction for the next few years.

What is good about this is that McAfee really believe about the power of Bitcoin. This is a sign that crypto will dominate in the future due to so many millionaires are now supporting crypto. It is being said that in the world of crypto everything can be possible so this is why so many of us predicting its value 10x for the next 3 years.

AHA so now i see correlation between his BTC prediction and his candidacy if he will make BTC main currency in USA instead of dollar his prediction can come true easily.

I cant see any more joke than this. I am even surprised we are talking about him maybe because he is in the news again after announcing his intention to run for United States President in 2020 which is good because every one without criminal conviction has the right to vote and be voted for as well as the freedom of expression expressly guaranteed by the constitution. The 3 years he proposed is gradually closing in and would want to see his reaction on the 3rd anniversary of the comments he made and bitcoin has not touched $100,000 talk less of $500,000.

No one knows what will happen after 3 years, and will bitcoin still exist or they will destroy all things that is related to cryptocurrency.so far that price is imposible to reach within 3 years only , maybe after 10 to years

Interestingly, does John McAfee just came up with this figure or did some kind of analysis? I do not take his words seriously, much less I do not believe that in 3 years the capitalization of bitcoin will grow 60 times. I think that the price of bitcoin at the best time will fluctuate around $ 50,000. Here is a link to the forecast, which seems quite plausible to me - https://walletinvestor.com/forecast/bitcoin-prediction

Guys a crack head tbh. His analogy makes sense but doesnt mean anything about price increase.

Although some would say it is possible, at first I thought the same thing as well but as time goes by and upon observation; bitcoins price had always been fluctuating so there is really no assurance it will reach that amount. 3 years is a short time and $500k is a huge amount of price to achieve.

Yes, I believe in this truth. I think that bitcoin has enough power to hit $500000 in the next 3 years. Bitcoin is the first cryptocurrency in the world and many people want to invest their money in bitcoin. In the next few years, bitcoin can be accepted in many countries which can make the price of bitcoin increase

No it was 3 years away from now and i do not know how he even compute it on his way or just to hype out there. That price is a little bit positive and possibly to attain bit it doesn't says when and what year it will be on its price. We are free to believe if we will trust his predictions or not.

Not a crack head, a smart head buddy. And he upped his prediction which to me didn't make any sense. If you felt confident in 500k, and your fundamentals made you think 1 million now, stay with 500k as a safe bet! That part to me was "cracked out" but other than that, it is entirely possible and I look forward to finding out whether or not it will come to fruition.

The speculation has been changed he said it will hit $1M by the year 2020 if that did not happen there would be a live broadcast for eating his own thing, but I bet he will forget about that or he will say he did not bet such an awful thing like what he did with some of his speculations, tiny chance to hit like that we need a mass good news or an adoption to be able to raise up to $50k how much more for $1M, from this swinging markets where people are taking profits from fluctuations I doubt it will.

He said 1 million USD based on a mathematical model of how scarce mining rewards will have become by that time; however he didn't initially factor in the tremendous political

pressure and black propaganda against crypto currencies by governments and banks. Having said that, free enterprise cannot be stopped, and a 1 million USD valuation for BTC

is indeed likely (and some would argue inevitable) as soon as the intellectual crypto community defeats the fake games played by the power brokers controlling

the fiat in the world...

He is just a human and human ability is subject to commit mistakes, so i believe that even john McAfee speculation sometimes is just a mere most specially when that kind of amount in just for 3 years.

 I think last year he said that he will eat his own *** on live broadcast about his prediction. I mean like, he is good, but I doubt all his prediction will come true. And if it does, the price as of now really need a bigger impact in the future so that it will increase. Well, we'll see about that tho, whether it is true or not.

People are really interested on whether John McAfee will be able to hit the head of the nail as far as his prediction is concerned. Personally speaking, I am more inclined to believe that this will not be able to come true judging on the kind of energy that the market has had been exhibiting for years. Maybe if the bullish trend that sweep 2017 continued until this time maybe this can be possible but we know the existing condition of the market right now...it is more bearish than its counterpart. I have to admit though that deep inside I am wishing that this McAfee prediction will come true as I am a small Bitcoin holder.

I brlieve what he said that bitcoin can reach $500k in thr next three years from now. I am believing this before he said it because i also saw the bitcoin chart and its behavior. Look at the chart from 2011 until now and you can saw the proof that bitcoin even potentially reach $1 million at the end of 2021.

John McAfee very loud personality, and he largely thanks to such statements became famous, for this I do not believe in his words. I think the price does not jump 100k.

Don't believe such mess speculation without even a solid proof, reaching $50,000 it would be the ideal target for this coming year, unlike platinum or a thing they can not put Bitcoin into actual auction it can reach that price in three years.

I do not agree with this idea. it will never succeed. nobody not gives $ 500,000 to a bitcoin

I do think bitcoin will eventually reach his price prediction but it may take longer then originally predicted.  I know McAfee get sa lot of hate but his passion has really helped the crypto community.

That McAfee prediction was a publicity stunt and a means to gain media coverage for all his promotions.

He's a genius at marketing himself.

As for the 500K prediction, the world will be in serious fcuking trouble if it ever reaches that price and by then you'd be more interested in holding guns,

ammo, food amongst others.

 :-* :-*

In my opinion, it might take more than 3 years. I hope the number of the supporters of bitcoin and all other cryptocurrencies rise in the future.

i'm so happy if bitcoin price will hit about 500k
but, i don't believe it,, and the reasonable price for bitcoin in my opinion in three years is still below 200K USD
regards

He is not entirely false.Irrrespect with fluctuation of bitcoin price,their are some chance for bitcoin to reach 500,000$.If you don't depend on a bitcoin,hold your bitcoin till the price of bitcoin reaches maximum.Even the price of bitcoin cross 500,000$,before the desired months.

Anything is possible, for it to hit half of a million, the price forecast is not feasible, for Bitcoin to worth that much in 3 years, the price should be over $100k now, the price is still around $7500 now, if one uses time series analysis to do the price prediction putting the next halving into consideration I don't see Bitcoin getting to that price so soon

In two years, the reward for the block will again be reduced by half. To keep profits at the same level, miners need to have a BTC's price twice as much. Either significantly reduce the complexity, so that energy costs will be reduced (unlikely). Much higher prices are speculative and will not last long.

We are getting so many predictions such that no one is taking these guys seriously of where bitcoin is going

and the probability of Bitcoin hitting $500,000 in 3 years is very low because volatility is still high unless this drops and institutional investors actively invest in crypto raising the market cap and btc price simultaneously

i dont really see it being worth this much anything is possible, but weve def taken a big step back compared to last year, once we shake out some of these bad projects, i think we will see growth across the board again.

No it is not going to happen, there is nothing wrong with being bullish in your predictions about bitcoin but that to me is not being bullish but being delusional, I think there is a decent chance that bitcoin reaches 50k by the end of 2020 or at least it will recover the price we saw of 20k but to think it can reach 500k in just 3 years is something that seems impossible to me.

A lot of people have forgotten about the halving which usually has a positive affect on the price. However, it is 2 years away and investors are inpatient - they want rewards now! Still good to keep accumulating during this low period for that particular event

John McAfee is crypto freak and troll but who knows may be he shot in to the dark and hit the bull`s eye!  ;D Hope so!

I think that of course not, it's impossible. To do this, the number of coins should be very much reduced, or the coin should replace the Fiat. What will never happen. McAfee is a popular media personality and a great crypto enthusiast, he advertises any coins and there is nothing surprising in such statements.

I dont believe John McAfee, he is always have new lies but i'm sure it will be 500.000. Crypto world should win this war for better future.

I'm a bitcoin believer but the 500,000 usd price in 3 years  prediction are very impossible i do not believe on that price hitting by bitcoin in the short time from 7plus usd currently value upto 500,000k usd let analyst the distance of price gap. i'm not a negative thinking but i telling my true feeling about that prediction but happy to if that price reach in 3 years.

Although John McAfee is just an ordinary speculator, I really hope to see that the price of bitcoin will be more higher than $500,000 in the next years.

The price of bitcoin is not determined whether the miners are profiting or not but with the investments coming into it, if there is no solid investment coming up the price wont go up, when the reward reduces the amount of coins in circulation also reduces which increases the price naturally and that is what i am expecting but i really do not care what McAfee predicts. :P

I'm not sure if there's a relation between or there really is. But who's going to vote for him?
I don't think that he can be success in the public office that way, it's just too high for him to handle, I guess.

I wouldnt really trust or take seriosly anything that John McAfee says or does that is anyway related to crypto because that guy is nuts and only reason that he is involved in crypto is money.He is asking for 100k$(and getting that amount)for 1 single twitter post where he shills some shitcoin

As much as I love to see that coming, I just want to be realistic here. I think in 3 years time, Bitcoin might reach up to $100k or less. It would be great for us to see Bitcoin hitting $500,000 in 3 years time. We can predict all we want, as we are free to do so, but it's all about getting realistic when it comes to the price of Bitcoin due to the good and bad situations we have right now.

Volatility is high because our market cap is small and still very new. Every emerging revolutionary technology that has ever happened has been volatile early on but slowly becomes more stable as it reaches mass adoption. I am absolutely stunned that people don’t know this????

Tim Draper has a $250K forecast for Bitcoin by 2022. Some others have forecasts ranging in $100K - $1m too but nobody has that short a timeframe as McAfee. Time will tell how high it goes.

Time will tell what happens but at the same time of all the predictions it is the less likely to happen, the price is too high and the time frame too short, I do not want to come across as a someone trying to spread FUD because that is simply not true, I would be absolute thrilled to see such a huge price for bitcoin but my mind is telling me to not get carried away and believe such a thing.

Bitcoin always hits the most unlikely predictions, I’ve learned to never underestimate it :)

No one really predicted a price of bitcoin of 20000 by December of 2017 because no one thought the price will get so high, but the prices given in the current predictions will require that bitcoin becomes a major player in the economy, in fact if bitcoin really reached 1 million dollars as some people suggest that will mean that the rest of the economy is probably crashing since I cannot imagine another way for bitcoin to reach such a price so soon.

I can't believe anything that has spoken to him, remember he was getting paid to promote any ico. $500k in 3 years just like a big joke. Bitcoin doesn't even reach the total supply and i can say that about the fact that the bitcoin needs the more time to go. The next halving will be happened in 2 years later and i think that he is lying.

With the current market trends I don't think that the bitcoin price will reach at that level. I assume that this is what John McAfee wants as he owns huge amount of bitcoin in his wallet. It will be too expensive for a ordinary people to take part at that time.

if I think bitcoin to reach $ 500,000 within 3 years is hard, we do not know 3 years ahead how, but, if bitcoin within 3 years has reached that value, then the other coin is thinking whether it will be a bit closer to bitcoin . . ?? and in my opinion indeed within 3 years will experience an increase, but not up to $ 500,000  here's my opinion about this

I doubt it, but I would be very happy to be proven wrong on this one. It will see a very nice increase, you would think, from the levels it's at now but I don't think it will be any where near $500,000.

I think what he said was farting. This is impossible. Does he predict that there will soon be the biggest financial crisis in human history? Is the process of capitalist disintegration accelerated? I don't think it will be so fast.

Its really hard to speculate the value of Bitcoin.

But, He could be right but it will depends on people if they will join the train once it hits more than $100k since it really risky.

Let the market first restore the whale and increase the market capitalization, and then put forward forecasts. All this does not mean anything until he is at level 7k and there is no dynamics.

Guys, this can be very bad forecasts. Many experts say Bitcoin has no prospects, and therefore today its price is in this position.Of course, you do not need to blindly trust any words, but you still need to wait for everything.

This person is not very authoritative for me. Especially after I learned that he takes the money for shilling projects. That's why it seems to me that you can't trust his forecast at all.

I think his prediction will still be hit but it will take longer than his original timeframe.  As crazy as this guy is he has done a lot of positive things for the crypto world.

it's not about believeable or not. it's about did that reasonable or not. i think that was unreasonable to hit that value in three years

I fully agree with the fact that he does not have authority in the crypto world, Yes it is very bright, but it does not mean that at least something will be as he said.

It remains speculation and believing or not is in our hands, maybe he got the right or nearest prediction in bitcoin in the past 2017 which is not really impressive especially if his speculation is just a guts and saying 20,000k usd by december 2017 now hes trying to predict 3 years gap oh common that was a long way shilling for his co-advertise projects.

McAfee is an icon in crypto world, no doubt. But, he does not have a crystal ball. Guaranteeing the price of BTC to hit $500k in 3 years from him does not mean it will reach that price within the next few years. 3 years is a short time for merchants, corporations, institutional buyers, and the public to fully integrate crypto currencies in their life/businesses. Adaptation will be the trigger for BTC to hit that price level. Let's wait some announcements from Apple, Amazon, Samsung, and other big companies to adapt crypto, maybe it will hit $500k.

This is quite possible, as this forecast has been carefully analyzed by a large number of large analytical companies. According to some forecasts for this period of time bitcoin can reach 1 000 000$

Bitcoin price prediction look unreal stick to most of the newbie but bitcoin price surprises all so we can believe bitcoin potential is huge may be possible

Hes not even an ICON here on cryptoworld but just an another plain speculator into this very volatile market the thing on here is that hes quite famous into other trading firms which every word he do said do make such impact but basing on the past and present words that he do thrown out to cryptocurrency. Going back it was positive but recently he do said negative things which it turns out that even a single word from him i dont even tend to listed anymore.

of course everything is possible but to think of that right now is very delusional, we can start thinking of it again if bitcoin's price reaches 19k again in just few months time.

Why not? If bitcoin or crypto market will in demand and continuously increase there's possibility that we can hit the highest price like McAfee prediction. Everything will happen in right time.

No it wont reach that number. Its absurd and he is looking at it from one perspective. If BTC keeps shitting at this rate it wont be possible to even mine it in a profitable fashion.

i hope mcafee keeps right with his predictive. he seems really confident in bitcoin.

When BTC captures an industry, it doesn't really matter what it is, when it dominates any industry as THE way to trade, value will skyrocket. That skyrocket will self-perpetuate another cycle of boom and bust, but the settling point will be far higher than today's prices. When we go from 1% of people owning bitcoin to 5% it will be a major move in price, easily to $100k and beyond.

When you think about the volume of money that moves around, and BTC is going to have to account for a substantial portion of that flow, $500k is not at all unrealistic and it will be here before we know it.

I don't think so. Bitcoin will be degradated, ethereum will get on top. In a year bitcoin's value will decrease, after that increase, but only to 10.000 $, not even close 500.000 $.

I do not know how he can be trusted. Yes, he fulfills part of his promises but needs to understand that his promises about the courses are just not serious.

All waiting BTC at higher than 100000 but now nobody can say where will be bottom and when) IMHO it will go up when all will wait it at 500 usd)

This time mcAffee is wrong in his prediction to bitcoin price after 3 years. As you can see bitcoin suffered since the start of the year and no sign of coming back, cant wait to see mc affec licking his own d on live tv.

No, i don't believe it is possible. It should be a very very big manipulation of the Bitcoin to reach $500'000 in 3 years. Or a fall the USD.

I think it would be a long shot for bitcoin to reach 500k in three years. I hope I am wrong, but personally I just don't see it happening. On top of that McAfee seems like kind of a nut, so I definitely wouldn't invest based upon his speculations.

Well the guess is 1 mil at the moment in a year and a half as he said he was being conservative about it. There is a chance it might happen of course, however the price would have to start jumping significantly right now in order to achieve it.

I don't believe in John McAfee but i do believe one day bitcoin price will be more than $500,000 because of more people joining the race with limited rare supply (21M) , not exactly happen withing the coming three years  :D. 

No I do not believe it will hit that much in 3 years, simply because it seems the mainstream public has gotten cautious with it.

I would be surprised 500k will be reached within 3 years. But i think 250k must be possible within this timeframe. We all have seen how fast it can go and we are still very early in the game.

Absolutely not, I don't trust this guy although sometime his predictions was true. He's just a promoter so he was paid to promote for all ICO projects and cryptocurrencies. Although I believe in Bitcoin and cryptocurrency but I don't think Bitcoin price can be able $1m at the end of 2020 and for now, I'm waiting to see how will he live without his dick ;D

Although he was right about so many predictions before but this time, I can ensure that it'll not come true and BTC price will not be $500k or $1m at the end of 2020 and John McAfee will have to eat his own dick on TV ;D. I don't know how will he live without it :)). Maybe he'll have to go to Thailand to fix it. LOL

I don't believe entirely in so-called expert predictions. There are many factors that affect the price of bitcoin, such as FUDs, Good news , the effect of some whales who try to manipulate the price of bitcoin and so on. Demand and supply forces are the major drivers. The people in bitcoin market have more power than the experts concerning bitcoin price.

This is a good question! I think we all know about McAfee he is very optimistic. Personally 100.000$ in 3 years are enough.

I'm not thinking with $250,000 - $500,000 within 3 years. $100,000 is what I'm thinking but we will see.

John McAfee can't be trusted with his opinion/predictions. I'm not believing with his words anymore before it's encouraging but with his acts it's hard to depend on his words.

It will be a long way for bitcoin to hit $500,000 but who knows if there's a sudden increase to the market cap.

Guys on some mad drugs tbh, I question some of his thought process. Such valuation is overkill, even though I'm a Bitcoin fan boy.

Im totally agree with your reply and his actions becomes more not realiable for all what he's done with this past 2017 after his prediction is getting reach he use that opportunity to shill more and get more active in twitter and predicting bitcoins.

same here. i dont think that there are so called experts or pro that can fully predict the future of bitcoin. those people are just normal individuals and they cant just forseen what will happen on the future.


of course people that invest or buy btc are still more powerful than those who dont have a btc and just only predicting random stuffs regarding on what will be the futre of bitcoin.

investors are the ones that trully control the price , not those so called experts.

As time passes by, the supply of this coin decrease so technically the price will go up. If the demand for this coin will not change and the hype and supporters will remain there is mistake the coin will sky rocket again but $500,000 figure is too high.

Anybody can speculate about bitcoin's market cap, price, future, and anything they like but it all stays with that as we really don't know what is going to happen. John McAfee can be right or he can also be wrong and to my opinion, i think his prediction is way too high with that period of time only.

Even $100k looks too hard for bitcoin, how can we expect $500k in a few years ? Bitcoin may possibly reach $100k if world's all crypto investors leave from altcoins and move to bitcoin. Right now market capitalization is not sufficient to reach this level but it is every crypto lover's will to reach that level

You never know what future holds for bitcoin. I think it was just the prediction to gain publicity just like any other prediction. Whether it comes to fruition or not is different story. He got the attention he wanted from it. $50k is fairly possible in 3 years time but I'm not so sure about $500k but who knows, if you had asked people few years ago they would've never guessed that btc would reach the price it has reached today and in the past.

There is a high probability that the total market cap of Bitcoin will reach 8 trillion USD. That is something we can easily accept although it will definitely take more time, much longer than 3 years. With regard to John McAfee releasing brave statements such as Bitcoin reaching $500,000, I know a lot of them are mere exaggerations that should not be taken too literally. Bitcoin will get to that point but not within 3 years.

He has already been wrong with his predictions repeatedly, why then believe a man who does not know what he is saying. I think you need only listen to your own opinion and rely on your strength.

Just believe in your self and look at the market situation

$500,000 USD? Hehe. That right there is pretty far-fetched. However, I easily understand bitcoin increasing in value, but probably not that fast.

Now that i think of it however, it could actually be possible, probably if all exchanges suddenly break down and millions of bitcoin are suddenly frozen. The remaining bitcoin would either be so valuable or probably useless already (faith lost in bitcoin and crypto).

His actions speaks louder than words which is his speculations that bitcoin shall hit $500,000 or more than that within few years.

He said $1,000,000 and it gave some enthusiasts a chill and hope that long term holding is the going to be the trend up to this date and for the next years to come.

I would listen to low profile economists that are serious and real with their speculations and too good to be true numbers.

Well, screw him. I don't think it would reach that far in that time span. Anyways, do people really believe on what he is saying? I mean, he's just a dude that is paid to promote and hype stuffs so everything he says is just part of a promotion at some point. BTW, I was searching for a good ICO right now have anyone looked into this ico www.menlo.one?

i think mcAfee is spreading world for bitcoin get famous and hope new buyer and fresh money coming to invest in bitcoin,, for me its not important for believe or not believe but its a good news for crypto world...

Guys on crack tbh

not for one second. he pulled the number out of his ass because it brought him a lot of attention. and when one million dollars started to sound better he went for that because got even more attention.

there is no way this will happen in just 3 years...

no way in 3 years. the market needs more time for that

Lol Mcafee was yelling about a lot of non-sense words and then SEC has been kicking his ass to not to do it again
https://cointelegraph.com/news/john-mcafee-will-no-longer-promote-icos-cites-sec-threats

The latest nonsense project that has already promoted by mcafee is a docademic and sound doesn't look good at all. Mcafee should retire from the speculator's job and he must find a new way that better than it.

he is full of shit..

Mcafee has pumped many bad ICOs in the past and has plenty of wildly high price projections for many other coins on his twitter so hard to take his seriously. Tim Draper gave a bitcoin target of $250K by 2022 in a recent interview that is more plausible. Tim Draper has been generally  correct on bitcoin price forecasts in the last few years and is a big hodler as well.

Mcafee upped this target to $1 million later in 2017 with end date still Dec 2020. Hard to believe such a high target unless it actually happens and probably will take more time.

Never believe in that crazy person whos always wanted to seek attention,but the truth is what he aim is to gain followers so he will become popular and then those Dev of every project will pay him for hes advertising ,because hes popular then but its not fair all he's speculations are based with sole interest and not for others

Stop fantasizing because this is impossible to happen,only fool will trust that man

I do not believe in Mcafee's prediction because looking at the market today is hard for it to reach that price.

Now it is difficult to believe in this, because the market does not look very good. But it seems to me that the world can change significantly and accept crypto in every country, so this will lead to a large surge for all cryptos.

Why $500k? Even if bitcoin only reached $100k i'm already very happy.
I never believe with that nonsense, why nonsense? Because there is no any proofs if bitcoin will be really reached that and second, because he is not satoshi.

MacAfee still here a liar, after several of his predictions, I was invested in a large amount of money in projects that I will not here call. And they left me in the world of crypto currency forever. So I do not trust him, there will not be 500k bitcoins

This is possible. I think the dollar is on the brink of collapse. This is likely to reach this price. At that time, the cryptocurrency became popular all over the world.

I would love too but of course that price is too good to be true, in short it's just a dream. That is very high and nearly impossible to reach within 3years. I'm contented if the price goes back again in $20k rather than believing in this kind of prediction.

BTW: When bull run he said 15k in june lol muahaha.

Wow really that's amazing bitcoin is $500000 in 3years. Maybe when bitcoin starts to grow up its price. Everybody will wait for the price increase. And it will be continuing to go up for the value of bitcoin. If 2017 bitcoin hit $20000 maybe it will come true if bitcoin hit this year of $100000.

but it is still impossible to happen because of the demand of other coin that the investors divert their investment to other coin, if you see the price today then you can see that it is hard for bitcoin to reach that kind of price within 3 years but if the price will pump continually maybe it will have a good price someday.

Exactly, most bitcoin users like this price, but this is just an unrealistic story, without any chance or basis for bitcoin to achieve that, when bitcoin has not reached $ 500000, people probably have sold all bitcoins at lower rates, no one has enough patience and courage to wait for such high prices. In addition, I do not believe in anyone like John McAfee or anyone who has an influence on the market, all these are just ways to pump and fool others, trusting them just makes us fall into a stupid trap and lose more money

This could easily happen for Bitcoin, but the timeline given by McAfee I am not so confident in. One thing that keeps me hopeful though about McAfee's prediction is the fact that the biggest money in the world simply can't enter the market yet. I am talking about hedge funds and those players simply can't dump 5 billion into the market because that would ruin their chance at the best ROI. Therefore either they enter super slowly (accumulate over years) or buy OTC. I am confident that Bitcoin will reach a 6 figure mark somewhere in the journey, but as to when? That entirely depends on how quickly the big boys enter.

It is very difficult to say whether this will be the case and whether bitcoin will reach this price in the coming years. But not only McAfee gives such a forecast, it means there is some confirmation.

John mAcfee is the paid shiller I think we should also do our own research instead of following him. Yes there is the high probability in 2020 for crypto market to hit mainstream and this mainstream can lead all major cryptocurrency values to the 5x or 10x. But I don't think the price speculated by John mAcfee is realistic.

I agree with what is said rajurathod18. After I heard the so inconsistent and unrealistic footsteps of John McAfee, it seems we no longer need to follow and trust her words, even though we know along with the decreasing supply of bitcoin, maybe $ 500.000 isn't an impossible pricing but not as fast as McAfee's prediction

Ecли нe выpocтeт.Oн cъecт cвoй пeниc ;D

Guys on crack tbh

Who knows in the future bitcoin will hit $500,000 in 3 years maybe if John McAfee keeps tweeting about bitcoin hitting the highest price then it could be happen.

i though john mcafee is against bitcoin because he always spread fuds about bitcoin? and now he is saying that bitcoin will skyrocket up to 500k usd? maybe he did already change his mind and he is now a bitcoin lover instead of anti bitcoin? anyways ,that is a good news to hear that some powerful person  are also predicting the future of bitcoin , he maybe help bitcoin to reach that high.  but overall , no one can still predict the future because anything unexpected can always happen.

He already changed his prediction now he says 5M clown :D

He's just an old grandfather who may not even live to see those days... So he says a lot of nonsense. And believe him on this is definitely not worth it.

No, That's too much of an expectation. $50K would be more realistic after many ups and downs. I don't know how many people are waiting to see him eating his dick on a live show! Lol

That would really awesome that he seems like out of mind predicting the near numbers in the future. Within 3years that was so much to think about. What i am thinking is how crazy he is to do and say that kind of things while i have an idea that its all about money he can make money out of his shows and unrealistic words to eat his dick. Lmao.

Well, let's see in three years ... But I think he is a crazy person to make such rush claims about his penis and bitcoin price  :D

Didn't he fix his statement to 2 million? And he would still eat his dick.

It may or it may not. it is difficult to say. Though if it does reach the 500k mark a lot of investors will be millionaires by then. John is one influenced person and his word can make or should i say can add to the factor for the hype, i am bullish on bitcoin but i am also a realist there's got to be a big leap for this to happen in the next three years.

No one knows what will happen in the next three years. Maybe there will be a big changes , regulation of bitcoin in every country, icos were being banned , only the top 500 coins will be listed on cmc. And those altcoins which has no product will be eliminated.

Of course he can not be trusted, he speaks very much for money. And the fact that a person speaks for money can not be perceived as truth.

I do not believe but i am sure its going to hit new ath. Maybe not this year but i am sure its going to hit at least 25k usd in near future.
he is a speculative and a whale so no need to believe

In the near future, positive changes should not be hoped for, as some analysts say Bitcoin is down to $ 3,000. It does not please me much, but maybe they can be right.

Now the picture has changed and the price has more or less stabilized maybe it's because John is silent? ;D But now it does not seem that the price goes to the level of 3k.

quantum computers are expected to happen latest by 2020, btc is not at all quantum resistant , all this is not going to happen.
bitcoin cant even handle 0.5 % of the worldwide financial transactions, even at his current power usage... imagine..
already using 20% of all europes power.. this nonsense cant go on , and the 20% are only for one coin!!!
adding all the others, its insane.. maybe one more high rise, and then it will crash, dont think it will go any higher than 10k until some
more bad news come in, or governments simply shut it down due to the pwr usage, and this is going to happen.
no miners - no transactions !

We have to also consider that John McAfee might be based about this fact considering that he has an investment in bitcoin but there is also a point where blockchain is the future of cyber security so it's possible
