John McAfee has doubled down on his bitcoin price prediction, a cool million per coin


John McAfee has been really bold when it comes to predicting the price of bitcoin, claiming that each unit of the cryptocurrency will be worth $1 million by the end of 2020.

The cybersecurity expert had first said in July 2017 that one bitcoin would be worth $500,000 by the end of 2020. If that didn’t happen, he promised that he’ll do something that none of us probably want to see.

But it looks like last year’s crypto bear market hasn’t injected any fear into McAfee’s soul that he might have to live up to his words. He is sticking to his million dollar prediction despite the volatility.

In one of his latest tweets, McAfee claims that it is “mathematically impossible” that one BTC will be less than $1 million “by the end of 2020.”

McAfee is old news now.
like any other addict, he overdid it in 2017 with his ridiculousness and he exhausted his temporary and illusionary popularity as much as he could to make the most amount of money from it. and exactly because of that, nobody cares about what he says anymore because everyone already knows how full of himself he is...

John Mcafee is the biggest shiller of all time.
This guy has become a troll nowadays. I trusted him at first but then he started shilling coins and ICO for personal profits. He was running the biggest pump and dump scheme. Gladly that ended. Now he wants people to invest heavily in bitcoin by his a million dollar prediction. It is impossible for btc to reach a million dollar in a year. Maths doesn't say it neither the charts.

In the last bull market btc made a x100 increase from $200 to $20k. According to mcAffee it'll to a x300 increase from $31xx to $1m.

10 years from now, there is a possibility for it to hit $1m but I don't see it happening in 2020 or 2021. We are more than lucky if we see any price above $100k in 2021.

Er, yeah okay.  Anyone know where he studied math?

How I'd love for him to be right on this one, and I know I would be in good company but this is a delusional prediction, and that is putting it as kindly as I can.

Sort of reminds me of precious metals shills like Peter Schiff and Robert Kiyosaki, always telling the gullible masses to invest in gold or silver and making wild price predictions (that never come true).  McAfee is stupid for tweeting this, as it seriously damages his credibility.

I dont have doubt on competency of bitcoins as an asset for valuation, but i do  have doubts on every statement of the retired business shriller John.
His every statement has his greed which you can measure if you have invested in any of the icos shilled by him, to every ico he will say i trust them and they are my old friends , and after the dump we never see Mr John backing his words.

Back in the 2000's most business offices used McAfee Antivirus, and it was a well-known brand. So at first when I Started to hear about McAfee I took him seriously.

However the way he acts on Twitter and him posting about eating himself on Public television is proof why you shouldn't take him seriously.

You need to realise that he obviously will not do that to himself and will just wealze his way out of it some way. Or it will be some computer generated graphic magic trick.

So if people are buying bitcoin because of his "analysis" they deserve to lose money since its a pretty bad way to manage your money.

McAfee and that particular tweet that is being quoted here belong to 2017 so I am surprised why he is being brought up again in speculation board specially since he has never made a single speculation about bitcoin price ever. all he has done was throwing random big numbers with ridiculous vulgar claims involving his penis.


people like McAfee who have no logical reason or speculation to back their claims are always making vague statements like this. it is about creating confusion and looking like an expert and be correct more than actually be correct and have a point.

He might be right after all. We've been in the longest bear market in the Bitcoin history. I believe we will see a brutal explosion once we confirm a bull market. Don't underestimate the power of institutions and even the return of retail traders ;)

Bitcoin may hit 1 million Dollar in 2020 or it may not hit, but i do not believe this person anymore. He just give such news to remain in the mainstream media. Recently he claimed to be Satoshi and as a result of it Bitcoin SV has to be de listed from binance.
He is just to create a drama, and nothing else.

He likes to be in the news all the time but he never said he is Satoshi, but he tweeted he knew the group who created it and the reason for Bitcoin SV being delisted in some of the exchanges is because of the war of words with Craig Wright who is leading the development of SV and Binance already started the process with Kraken following that path along with shape shift. When it comes to the valuation of bitcoin, it is too high of a valuation to attain in a small period of time and McAfee might be eating his dick for that matter  :D.

Yes that's probably for mathematically impossible. But did he awere bitcoin are unpreditable  ???
Can't wait for 2020 ;D

he may be right with his price prediction (though i don't think the odds are very good with only 1 year 8 months left)......but he sounds like an idiot. "because of math"? lol! future demand for bitcoin is totally unpredictable. there's no math that can determine what people will do in the future.

I just made a comment about it here

He just seeks attention in some funny/weird ways if you ask me, We all could make our predictions.
 

I wilp definitely sign a deal with the devil for that to happen. $100k is more than good enough for me, I’d be delighted with that.

Great news, hahaha.
I can't expect a realistic prediction from him, gone are those days that he hype a coin for his personal interest.
Bitcoin will increase to $1 million, but not in 2020, maybe 20 years more.

That's seems to be fun to watch out, if things won't come accordingly this national television thing will surely shock most of those who didn't know about it, while if his assessment was right that will shock everyone here who's still holding and keeps on buying to be ready on the next halving year.

Mark your calendar boys. July 17,2020 which is the day that he would eat up his dick on national television. Arent we excited for this event?  ;D

or it would be much better if he do just focus out on his shitty candidacy

http://i68.tinypic.com/257g0ih.png

He really loves that attention, lol. We all know that realistically bitcoin can't hit $1 million in 2020. The economics that time won't allow it. We really needs billions of billions of dollars in the market that will push the market cap and obviously the price. And I don't think that he really meant eating his manhood in national tv, it's just him hyping because he has a lot of investments in bitcoin.

John McAfee shouldn't be used as a credible source. My opinion is that the halving isn't priced in yet and we might break ATH in 2020 but we're a long way from reaching $1M.

Hey if anyone buys bitcoins based on his tweets then he’s really foolish, while I like his optimism to see growth in bitcoins the target he’s given is impossible to achieve. I also remember reading his tweet where he says he claims to knows the identity of satoshi, here again he’s misleading people and lying openly. I don’t understand what gains does he get by making such absurd statements.

I'm tired of this guy using bitcoin's popularity! Whenever this McAfee man begins to be forgotten he says such speculative things. He said he was going to explain who Satoshi was in the past few days. I'm disgusted when he uses Bitcoin when his popularity goes down.

He just tried to take a popularity to marketing their project, so classic. You can see he was many those ICO as advice. but many those ICO was paused even fail.
So he will going to showing who's Satoshi? any link ?

This whole John McAfee prediction is getting out of hand already. We are still far from 2020, we should only open up a thread and have discussions if this is year 2020. No need to get this egoistic person some attention because that's what he wanted.

It's not new, lot of people's lost their money due to FakeAfee predictions. Still that guys giving that kind of predictions. Sometimes we have seen him to promote some coins and ICO's as well. Most likely he is paid shiller. Whoever pay me just support them. Personally I don't trust on his predictions and I don't want to lose my fund due to stupid predictions. Let him just predict, bitcoin will walk own way. Just expecting bear mode should be off now. It's too long time bitcoin is sleeping.

The sad thing about this is that his popularity will return. Every day there will be a new fanboy or fangirl,,, every day they will fall in love with the idea of 1 million dollar BTC, and every day people will forget a little more about his dark sides and unsavory characters.

Everybody knows he is a shiller but if he comes up to their project or coin, they will snap a photo and show it off, so that everybody in the world knows they are a big deal.

$1 million per btc in 2020 This is nonsense There are several wrong predictions in the past
they are trying to sell their bitcoin at good price

But we should not believe these wrong predection Whatever their owner

Lol that was a funny prediction done in the name of maths.
There is no way Bitcoin would have hit that level in 2020 even if we never experienced the recent bearish  market.  He probably had other unknown reasons for  making that prediction.

It seems he based his prediction on the algorithm he created to know the possible price of BTC last 2017.


Funny how he run his algortihm again and predict price on 2020 and multiplied the result by 2. Such a very credible source of information.  Anyway, I would not take McAfee announcement seriously.  He now looks like a clown after all after those altcoin promotions that make lots of people to lose money.

I would feel a lot better if someone so stupid was not making the high price predictions for bitcoin.
Have the wrong people being so bullish on this project

there was never any algorithms or math or anything like that. it is just McAfee seeing the start of bull market where prices are rising so he wants to repeat all his 2017 shenanigans to make millions this time by advertising and pump and dumping shitcoins while gaining popularity by making hyped up "bitcoin" predictions which then will be advertised on bitcoin forums!!!
not to mention that anybody who has analyzed bitcoin charts once knows that there is no "algorithm" that can predict bitcoin like this.

Does anybody tell him to speculate bitcoin price, he has been doing it intentionally to gain some attention. Anyway, nothing spectacular has happened or would happen in near future so that the price of bitcoin would hit $1 million in 2020.

Does being rich really makes you crazy?  ;D

This guys needs help. They are not on their right mind.
This is pure advertisement. They just want their name to be in the trend just so their product could be sold. It is a move a company who doesnt have a good market anymore.

Create a scandal, be on the trend and so and forth in social media, just so they will try to search you and might have a chance that your company will be searched too.
I am glad I lived a poor life. If I go down, I can still control myself coz I know what to do.

The prediction might be off but certainly in the future bitcoin price may come close to this. No one predicted that the price of bitcoin will hit its ATH back in 2017. Let's just be optimistic that something good will occur again in the near future.

I did some research the last days on circulating supply. I found that Bitcoins true circulating supply is between 9-13.5 million, not 17.6 Million (depending on whether you count coins like Winklewii's, etc., that has stated that they never will sell). That means that the cryptomarket cap, as counted on CMC, is much lower than reported, and it also means that Bitcoin dominance is between 25 and 38%, not 51%.

So the valuation of every coin should be much higher.

I'm not sure if popularity is the right term to use, especially with how more and more people start to dislike him for who he is, even outside the world of crypto.

The thing that makes him interesting is how millions and millions of people like to read and talk about bad boys, because that's interesting. That's directly the main reason for CSW to keep suing people, threaten exchanges to initiate double spend attacks, dump BTC down to $1000, etc. Most people don't like CSW, but they still want to know what he is up to, and news outlets happily tap into that demand and release all sorts of rubbish articles.

For them bad publicity is good publicity because it introduces them to a much larger audience.

I wonder which mathematical method did he use to compute and say that Bitcoin would worth a million in the year 2020.
McAfee has been in the industry and kept on telling that bitcoin will rise after 3 years after the first rise of it in the 20,000 USD value. Now, the three years he is telling is getting nearer and nearer. If we could just use the formula he is pertaining for, then we will be able to see if he has his point and if his predictions really make sense. If he wants to be believed then he should also share his formula or thoughts about why would bitcoin rise in the year of 2020.

Many of us studied mathematics i think so it would not be difficult for us to done or to calculate what John Mcaffe is talking or predicting around. For the second time i don't believe that it may happen as early in the 2020 bitcoin may takes more time to reach that price. His predictions seems to be hype at all if it happens in the next year then maybe its time for me to believe in his future predictions.

man i hope he keeps his promise so we would be able to see him suck his own dick, pumping shitcoins really hit his brain, i wouldn't be mad if his prediction is right, but we all know what's gonna happen in the end.

what's his end game though? if he manages to stay relevant and people keep talking about him, what's the point? i used to think he was using his notoriety as a pretense in his case with the australian tax authorities but more and more he just appears like a madman.

It depends on how the price reaches such levels. If the US Dollar loses most of its value, and Bitcoin is worth $1 million, then it could just as easily be $100k (or less) in today's purchasing power.

Do you remember the USDT mini crash last year? Bitcoin's USDT pairs pumped significantly where people got excited and started speculating about a bull run, while the price based on the USD didn't move that much at all.

It was purely a price adjustment to match the USD value, and the same applies to how everyone considered it to be bullish that the price of Bitcoin in Turkey's Lira reached a new high.

It's a matter of positive perspectives mate, we must respect all of those ideas although it felt redundant to hear those good words coming from their mouth. That price was too much to expect for, and maybe 2020 was too early to rejoice for it because we can't even reach $20k yet he's speculating a brilliant price as well. Let's remain realistic and believing such stories like that somewhat a fairy tale myth for me.

This scammer made me lose 10k USD in one of his ICOS.

We all understand that bitcoin is far more better than fiat and paper money and the technology behind it H7as no equal in financial cycles however many governments and society at large has not really see anything about bitcoin and reither than trying to educate themselve and their citizens on this great developments they are there speaking negatively about bitcoin and even called it a ponzi scheme!  McAfee is one of a fearless personality of our time and I prefer to agree with his predictions than the warning from our governments.

I'm sorry for your loss. But what do you want to see, Bitcoin's price to hit $1,000,000 on 2020? Or John McAfee eat his own dick on national television. 8)

I predict more than 10 million dollar for BTC units at 2020 ;D, expert say 75K/100K at 2020 is a very high value for BTC. The increase in value above 50K just hasn't happened yet, I think 1 million dollar is very much money for me to have fun ;). Strangely he entered television to the International at 2017.

Craig is an absolute lunatic. I am not exactly sure what his end game is, but I'm more and more convinced that he is not interested in Bitcoin itself, but more so to turn this whole ecosystem into one pile of rubbish. It's purely speculation on my end, but it could very well be that he is a government or banking shill.

I remember how people made fun of Jihan saying that he is a Blockstream spy, but he might actually have a point there.

Well there are many people who predict btc like this to moon but this is not happened sadly now every one learned lesson and no one gonna believe on these stories

To be honestly speaking, we all know that a time will come that even 1 satoshi will cost so much, talk less of BTC, but we are talking about future when BTC is fully a grown up thing, right now, BTC is a baby and it’s just starting, we still have low adoption rate that will push it that high.

We need lots of large scale adoptions both individually and institution wise, if we can get institutions to come into the cryptocurrency massively within the next 10 years, then in 15 years’ time, we should hit the final peak of about $1,000,000 for BTC, but for now. Let’s stick with something between 50K and 100k.

I wanna see, but yeah it will not happen if bitcoin doesn't up to $1,000,000. Sometimes I won't take seriously if there are some poeple who has an intelligence (maybe) and says something moreover about prediction. And I'll bet he won't do anything and he will make clarification about a prediction he made.

He obviously, shifted already, specially when he decided to create his BSV and separated himself from Roger Ver. And we still can't forget what they have done to the ecosystem last November, they damage it but at least karma bite them in the ass specially Craig Wright.


Everyone really has some motives behind. They might not show them, but it's just a matter of time before these bad actors will really show their true colors and their intentions.

Who would believe John Mcafee to begin with. Dude managed to make a great company once and sold it and he is lucky to have that but this is the dude that said he would eat is own penis if bitcoin didn't reach there, anyone that would make any claim on bitcoin like that should not be really listened at all. And it turned out he took money from ICO people to promote their coins and ICO people would profit more from the increase than the payment they made so he is definitely a shady person from all we know about him so far. That is why his "mathematics" is seriously just supportive of what he supports and that is it, I can create a chart that shows bitcoin going to zero and a million all possible if you look at it from the right perspective and he just uses his own favorite ones.

Hahaha, we all know how strong bitcoin his, and I know that we have some people that are extremist and would do anything or say anything nice about BTC. Can you look at his eyes, does he not look like a whale, after accumulating enough BTC, now he wants to create FOMO that will shoot the price of his investment high.

With or without mcafee, bitcoin will reach any ATH it chooses to go, I believe $50000 for 2020 but that price he mentioned is way too outrageous men, I can’t wait to see 2020 and let’s see if he will be truth to his words, since the promise are made openly. He would have just been a little bit more realistic.

he still has a few months to apologize and tell the whole community that his prediction is wrong and impossible to ever materialize, but instead of apologizing he made the situation worse with these words:


What does he smoke that is affecting his neurons? It's not possible for a guy like him to talk about this bullshit.


maybe he smoked a lot and was not in his right mind and talk this bullshit

It doesnt matter where he studied maths or how great his previous achievements and possibly even future ones.    The statement is already wrong because its not a logical statement even on brief consideration


The dollar is not a fixed value, its entirely free market based now with no set exchange or guarantee so far as I know.    That initially supports his idea of 1 million because the dollar could be any value in exchange for those 1 million notes.    However then saying its impossible it wont be $1m ignores the fact that dollars can also rise in value, could in 2020 or 2021 be a highly valued asset even much rarer to aquire then now.
    I dont believe that will be the case but its a possible scenario and its happened unexpectedly in 2008 so his statement is not saying anything more then hyperbole and it was wrong as soon as he finished it.    I dont doubt he knows that

Obviously it seems like he is mocking everyone that follows him, first saying that bitcoin will reach 500.000$ in 2020 and now something even more absurd that bitcoin will 100% reach 1 million dollars in 2020. He says it's impossible not to happen so, but I and probably 99% of bitcoin users think exact the opposite since that wouldn't happen even in our dreams what about in reality.

John McAfee is one of the person who gives more positivity to the crypto people. Whether the prediction is gonna come to reality or not, but whenever he comes forward with some statements I feel convinced even when the market is not that progressive. As some users mentioned he's mocking, I suggest let him mock and he isn't creating any negativity around.

He's like that because he invested so much in Bitcoin and other cryptocurrency. This is just a form of initializing a placebo effect. Saying impossible (lowly probable) thing would make people hope to see it happen. Though he's using Math or something, this is cryptocurrency and nothing has been certain since this started.

However, this kind of attitude is what the whole community need in order to make the price steadfast.

it is called being an attention whore and that is what McAfee has been doing for the past couple of years. and that is 100% clear from his actions the day he started getting paid to make tweets advertising shitty ICOs that were scamming people and started hyping up shitcoins that he held and wanted to be pumped so that he could dump and make a lot of profit.

for others it can be a positive prediction but for me i dont find it positive because 1m usd seems impossible to achieve for only 2 years  . i would believe him if he will adjust his time  , let say 1m usd in the year 2050   .


good for you because john m gives you hope and motivation  but i still dont get it , why other people hate him so much ?  i myself didnt hate him but i only find his prediction too exage  .

I think the statement too bold, the market in the decentralised world is too fluctuative and can't be predictable, it's good to stay positive but it's impossible to count the price using mathematics, if the price is so easy to be calculated nobody will lose money in the market, but the world need more people like Mcafee, it could spread positivity among all users

The price target at stake by John McAfee is indeed very crazy (beyond reason), some have responded enthusiastically as a result of his ignorance while others consider this prediction as madness the version of John McAfee. The first prediction might bring a positive impact on the growth of bitcoin prices, but furthermore who else will believe in this kind of crazy prediction because he does it too often.


What you say might be true, maybe this thing which makes John McAfee's predictions worthless like garbage thrown on the road, because he moves on his own, so his predictions have no power at all, not even a few who think John McAfee's crazy.

His latest trick is to announce he has identified Satoshi, and will soon reveal him.

Or maybe not.

https://www.investinblockchain.com/mcafee-now-holds-off-with-satoshi-identity-reveal-says-it-can-risk-his-extradition/

"John McAfee recently tweeted that he was aware of Satoshi Nakamoto’s true identity, and said that he would soon reveal it. However, a new tweet by McAfee now has him say that he will not reveal the identity of Nakamoto, for fear of being extradited."

Best to ignore what McAfee says, he’s obviousy very wealthy but his word holds very little value with regards to bitcoin & crypto in general.

Lol, I don’t mean to laugh over your loss, I am so sorry, I guess you have learnt not to take their words so serious, because they are all in the game of hyping too because of their investment, but how did you lose your money ? It might just be that the coin depreciated in value which I am sure you have not lost and will surely appreciate after the bull run, provided the loss is not to scam.

You just have to learn to do research directly on the team and project and not through opinions of people like him. If you had even put that money in bitcoin, do you know the peace you would have by now, just learnt to rely on Bitcoin for now. Bitcoin will hit one million dollar levels for sure but it may take time. In my analysis, one bitcoin may value one billion too but it would take definitely 40 to 50 years.

I'll listen to a beggar in the street if they can make any sense at all.   Its possible for even the lowest insignificant people in society to be aware of something unnoticed or unacknowledged by others.   The problem is McAfee rarely says anything of any value or even uniquely interesting, he must be clever still but he is keeping it quite well hidden.   Some people are very clever, methodical even in an advanced process but completely unable to communicate and educate others of that knowledge.    So much is lost from failed communication and assumption of others value but I've yet to hear anything worth hearing from this particular source, he has fame and is just banging a drum seems like

Just jumping on the band wagon.   It'd be more interesting if he just openly speculated, discussed who it might be.

Mathematics is a language, a way to communicate but I never saw any equation stated even basically.   That'd be interesting, a start

It is achievable but I guess the mistake was in the year that he quoted, mathematically, Bitcoin really has the ability to grow to $1,000,000, because I believe that time will come when the BTC we have today will be our satoshi tomorrow.

I don’t dispute the fact that the market is too full of fluctuations now that makes it seems as if it is impossible, but the market will not fluctuate forever, come a decade time, BTC would have already be becoming a stable coin, because by then many people will hold bitcoin for a particular purpose that is other than investing, which will be for payment and store value, so using it as store value will not allow much movements to go on and then,BTC will stabilize.

Shower thought. Who conned who? Did Roger Ver con Craig Wright to support, and hard fork to Bitcoin Cash? Or was it Craig Wright who conned Roger Ver?

I honestly would welcome Roger Ver back to the community if he admits that he made a mistake and would like to join Bitcoin again.


Jihan Wu was desperate. He knew he lost.

Every year McAfee makes a statement that Bitcoin is going to Surge in price and he always target around $1m.
This guy is a joke and it will end up that he will probably eat his c*ck at the national television.
He just tries to get our attention, but the only thing he can do is to make us laugh at him.

Agree, ignore what McAfee says because his predictions are too vague, it doesn't have any accurate information or reasoning, he relies only on his emotions to say and tries to show that he knows a lot about crypto and bitcoin but the fact that he doesn't know too much, he is just a rich man trying to strengthen his reputation through crypto, trusting in him just makes us become clowns, the value of bitcoin reaches one million is a very unlikely story, don't expect this story

Mcafee is considered as a whale in the crypto world and therefore his statements are important. We need to analysis at what time he is giving which prediction. I have seen these people give some predictions , positive and negative about the bitcoin/crypto, and market move in the opposite direction of the statements. So we should not 100% believe on them and try to predict with our minds on how and what the whales next move may be.

I'm impressed that people are still talking about a prediction made in 2017.

Anything about Bitcoin is an ongoing thing, Uptil now, we still have record and also refer to things that happened about bitcoin 8 to 9 years ago, and the 2020 is fast approaching for his prediction, let us see how we can achieve this, but I really doubt if it will be possible because we need very big companies to come in large numbers to make this a reality.

It seems that McAfee's 'self marketing department' has done its job well in that regard. This dude must be laughing so hard that he doesn't even realize how drugged he is.

Anything? I don't see people bring up how Bitcoin has gotten so much more secure throughout the last couple of years. I also don't see people bring up how important Bitcoin's decentralized nature is.

People here only focus on nonsense and negativity.

Mcafee has nothing to worry about, he will be dead before end of 2020 and he knows it. Look at him ffs - why not make ridiculous predictions set for dates you know you won't be alive for?
There's one thing he's saying that is 100% correct though - and it's that fiat is on it's last legs - it's a dead man walking. Sooo, bitcoin isn't going anywhere but up compared to fiat. The real question we should be asking ourselves is do we want to keep living in a collapsed fiat world? cause it's going to get ugly, folks.

But you should be absolutely more impressed if either one of the two will happen. His prediction, or eating his own dick. Hahaha.

:o

He's wealthy and I believe he knows what he is doing, there might be a big manipulation that can happen in the future. He's been talking about cryptocurrency higher price prediction despite that of his reputation. Bitcoin price will not hit $1M as much, not is just one year period but maybe in 2050.

Both prediction can happen, and I will be more impressed if he was able to eat his own dick. haha
