Bitcoin Forum

I’ve watched this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKSwcvKWqZo&feature=youtu.be

See how he keeps touching his nose?

You know that you are being recorded and that thousands of people are going to watch you and you keep touching your nose compulsively like that?
He also says that his model predicts bitcoin price to be $5 million by 2020.

I’ve had the impression that he is high on cocaine. Really high.

What do you think?

It was 500k, then 1m, now its 5m.

I think he is diving in a cocaine pool everyday.

Not sure about cocaine but he has problems with alcohol. It's the type of guy who starts his morning with a whiskey glass receiving journalists in pajama and showing them his porn magazines hidden in the kitchen.
This guy is controversial. But seeing he says Bitcoin will hit $5 Million by 2020 I guess he has a new drug seller or he is testing something new

Ignore that clown. He's doing nothing for Bitcoin other than being loud and filling his pockets by promoting absolute shitcoins and tokens. If you as billionaire have to degrade yourself like that, something is really wrong with you. He doesn't need any drugs to act like a clown, he has always been an eccentric old man with his priorities severely messed up. I wouldn't even be surprised if he ends up forking Bitcoin and from that point believes it will surpass all coins, and even become the world's main reserve currency. He needs to have its mental state examined.

This guy is very eccentric so I wouldn't really take him seriously, but what's unbelievable though is that he was able to influence a lot of investors and really "believe" that he is a so called crypto experts. Just look at his coin of the day, a lot of his followers are still buying it and they are totally sold on this guy. And about his prediction on bitcoin going on 7 digits is really absurd. He is just saying it because he has a lot of investment so it make sense for him to be very bullish, however, I don't think that 1 million per pop is possible in the next coming years.

no he is sober and as a matter of fact he is pretty wise! you just have to read between the lines instead.

he says "bitcoin is going to $$$ by 2020", or he says "I will eat my own dick on live TV if it doesn't go there" but what he is really saying is that "pay attention to me, I am an expert".
then what happens is that he attracts a lot of attention, now everyone is talking about him, watches his silly interviews, reads what he says, follows his twitter,...
what does he do with all this attention? he earns money from it and fills his pockets!  he uses it to pump shitcoins he has bought, get paid $100k+ to advertise ICOs on his twitter and a lot more.

Clearly cocaine  ;D

OP, if he doubles down that Bitcoin will be on $1m by 2020 or he will eat his own penis on national television, then yes he is without doubt on cocaine.

What? first $500,000 to $1,000,000 and now $5,000,000? I didn't knew it that he said this but that's too much. $500,000 was too much and even $1,000,000 and I was so innocent before to trust his words but now he has lost the people's/community's trust.

He has expressed that he's no longer charging any fee for shilling interested coins.
John McAfee no longer doing paid Twitter promotions for crypto and ICOs, running for US President. (http://cryptonewsreview.com/john-mcafee-hes-no-longer-doing-paid-twitter-promotions-for-crypto-and-icos-running-for-us-president/)

He just wants to spread unhealthy optimism (which is the opposite ot FUD) around crypto social media so the crowd would just stop the panic selling and start buying again.He kinda looks like a clown,but who cares,he is free to say whatever he wants.I predict a btc price of 100K at the end of 2020.Remember my words. ;D

His predictions are over the top but he’s a very intelligent guy. He’s richer & more successful than pretty much all of us.

He is totally high on his videos and his predictions will not indicate anything about future price of Bitcoin.

Most of the predictions go like this: When it's going up, they predict higher. When it's going down, they predict lower.
At least he sticks to his story: "Bitcoin will go up".

I'm pretty sure many people are ready to jump on, the moment Bitcoin starts going up. That's why Bitcoin (and other cryptocurrencies) instantly go up by 10-20% when it starts going up.
But the same happens when it's going down, both are positive feedback loops.

Back to the way he looks: He looks like a POW who's trying to send hidden signals while being forced to tell a story.
But that doesn't add up to the fact that he's carrying a gun while doing an interview:

It's just a statement to drive Hype and cause those who are unlearned about cryptocurrencies to buy out of FOMO. Bitcoin would be lucky at this rate if it can maintain $15k USD by 2020.

I think he is. I don't know where his predictions will go. First it was 500k, 1m and now? 5m? WTF? Where is that coming from? Highly, it would probably be cocaine LOL.

I have to specify, because many of you say the same, which means you haven’t watched the (short) video.

He says that his model predicts bitcoin to be worth $5 million, but it was the same model he was using when he said it would be worth $1 million, so he said it would be worth $1 million because that way he has a big margin of error.

Anyway, that seems waaay too much for me seeing the current market. He bases that on increased adoption and demand and I understand bitcoin has been growing exponentially but that seems to me a too big exponential growth.

Funny answer, do you have only ONE example? He can make pump and dump yeah, cause many idiots follow him, nothing else.

About video you should tale a look a what this guys really do.. http://www.ebaumsworld.com/videos/woman-claims-john-mcafee-would-make-her-lay-on-a-hammock-and-shit-in-his-mouth/85232234/

http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2016/09/the-obscure-legal-drug-that-fuels-john-mcafee.html

It ain't cocaine. It appears to be a compound so obscure it doesn't have a legal classification. He's probably moved on now. Whatever it is he is clearly drugged off his tits most of the time.

This man has said something good about bitcoin and that is why we were able to get this high bitcoin's values in 2017. Even if the bitcoin's price did not get to $5,000,000 before 2020 I think his predictions has achieved its purpose and even if people are against him on this I will really appreciate him because he makes some of us making good money in  trading in 2017.

Seriously, which reasonable person will really take John McAfee serious.

True, but he is very old, and the drug is damaging his brain.

He is just worried because of the bet he made that bitcoin will be over $20k by the end of the year.
Said he would cut off and eat his own.. you know what. :-X
