John McAfee, the future presidential candidate says that If Bitcoin Breaks 100k (https://coinpedia.org/news/if-bitcoin-breaks-100k-will-break-a-million-says-john-mcafee/) you can bet it will break a million.

What's your point of view on this, let me know!

Do not take him too seriously.  When people gets old they usually just talk without meaning anything :-P

In my opinion, if that happens, it looks really fast, because we still have a lot of time, maybe by the end of this year it will really touch $ 15k even though it's only speculation, I don't know why I can trust that old man

Tyler Winklevoss' statement made more sense, probably implying that the bear market is over if BTC hits $10,000, hence it will likely go to $15,000. McAfee's statement though? Made no sense whatsoever. Dude's just trying to hype up bitcoin.

You have to realize that the people who understand what he is saying are tired of his words. Don't take him with a grain of salt and just ignore whatever he says. He's getting the attention of the world and now he got it and says what he wants to say. The guy sure is a bitcoin supporter but it's too much for him to handle. He's adding flavor to bitcoin now to make the people FOMO but it's unlikely that we will see $100k for this year, IMO.

Actually if it really happens then everyone will enjoy it and there is nothing impossible that at the beginning of the year and until now, the price of bitcoin has risen on average in the middle of this year so I can trust the words of that person, and from the beginning the increase in bitcoin this year and we cannot deny it is not ...

To be honest, so far I have never believed what the man said, in my opinion he is a little bit more absurd and unreasonable. He just wants his name to be famous. Just look at how much nonsense about the project he is promoting, then what is the fate now? does it match what he is talking about?

When your citing this, why do you add future presidential candidate? Do you think this has a direct correlation or impact on his prediction?

Of course, betting does not guarantee to yield a win  ;)
However, can anybody tell a good reason this guy's nonsense is always on the news?

Let's be honest and wait for BTC to break above $10k as said by Winklevoss and then we can even think of $100k, a million looks years ahead if you ask me.

Why?

Getting such a parabolic ride to $100k will add nothing substantial to the debate when everyone will be ready with their armed coins already filled with loads of hype, and then these guys will destroy the whole market with the army of coins gathered by them. A million should be seen IMHO, but not as easily as McAfee said because when $20k was touched, all of us thought $50k is easy. But come on, are whales sitting there just to masturbate and jerk off every time they push it one leg up? They also have a real life and they're here to take bigger profits than us.

lol. what a nonsense argument. it is like saying if it starts raining then there will be a tsunami and we all drown! just because price reaches $100k it doesn't mean it will also reach 10 times that to $1 million. don't get me wrong I do believe in $1 million price for bitcoin some day but it won't be any time soon (not until mass adoption) and it won't be just because we reached a high price like $100k.
McAfee is just trying to gain more attention again, probably because the money he scammed people during 2017 shitcoin pumps and ICO advertisements that he was involved in, is running out.

John McAfee says a lot of things! I see no reason to bank on such comments. There is an open challenge he had given which is still active. He said that if bitcoin price doesn't reach to 1 million usd by the end of 2020, he will eat his dick. Even though he is one of the most influential figure in crypto world, such useless comments certainly bring his value down!

Bitcoin reaching 1 million is a dream which will never come true! Even 100k is very very difficult! It's always better to stay close to reality!

A movement of 10x is what moves bitcoin from 10k to 100k, and from 100k to 1000k.

In the practical world there are limits based on money supply, liquid and illiquid, and total market capitalization.

If bitcoin was 1M, then you have increased the market capitalization to 17 trillion or so. But that does not mean that 17T has actually moved. The price swing is based on bidding up of the liquid bitcoins, those available for sale.

Suppose that fraction is 5 million coins, then 5 trillion must move for this to happen.

In our real and imperfect world, the practical limit to bitcoin price is likely based on mining fees. We saw how they moved when bitcoin went to 20K, fees got >30$ and >100$ USD for simple transactions.

If BTC Price > 100K, are the fees then 500USD?

If BTC price = 1M, are the fees for each transaction 5000USD?

OP quoted an article passage

---

I do not see how it would be possible to reach 1 million dollars for each bitcoin. And even this price of $100,000 seems to me a very exaggerated price. Why is it making nonsense price forecasts? the only thing he earns by making meaningless predictions is passing shame and destroying his reputation. is very clear that price of 1 million dollars is very exaggerated and has chances of that never happen. But he insists on this bullshit

Sounds like a lot less sure than his old prediction.   

John McAfee! Possibility of a new president? If Trump could do it, why can't he? Hilarious.

On a more serious note, why do people care about his opinion anymore even after everyone found out his whole pump and dump strategies? He still continues fooling people.

Ignore his opinion op. If those were his words, my words are: Every McAfee prediction is silly in the short term.

John McAfee, Craig Wrong(AKA Faketoshi) and there a few more people in the list whom I think should be avoided for such scenarios.
They make blind statements without any evidences and facts and claim them to be true. If you search out in the history you can see that these people have a very bad reputation in the crypto community.
These people have been heavily criticized for their statements. Hence it would be better off if we just ignore these people.

i can't decide which one i want to laugh at the hardest.
John McAfee being the president of United States or be stupid enough to actually become a candidate or the fact that he is starting his nonsense price guesses again with $1 million target while only participating in altcoin pump and dumps himself and getting paid in fiat to advertise ICO tokens!

That is the attitude precisely, right there.

He is 100% right from my point of view. In fact, setting milestones is a pretty good idea. Saying the same from a different perspective, i really like that. We should learn from it.

John McAfee should have been dickless by now, if he believed his on bulls#$%!  Something I quickly picked up on him is that he thrives on media attention and he likes to make controversial statement to get more media attention.

The guy was in the limelight for a while and now he is looking for the same kind of attention that he got when he was still a big shot at McAfee.  ::)  People stopped taking him seriously after his several scandals over the years.  ::)

John mcafee is insane and dont believe people who tweet cause they paid to do it. John mcafee is a worst influencer in crypto and what he do is only pump and dump the project. I do admit that john mcafee is a good marketing but lately i think his prediction is become more crazy.

if john "fucking" mcafee tells so it has to be true ;) this guy is a maniac he done some realy evil shit in his life i would not trust this guy, hes super crazy.

I don't wanna argue over this, but I truly believe that BTC will reach at least $100k some day (not predicting like that dicklicker).


FTFY.
I think he's got what it takes to become the Joker of all cards, and he's just trying his way best on what he does the best - spewing bullshit and making more money. If he is really going for US Presidential Elections, maybe he predicted this just for the sake of gaining votes by people who are in favor of BTC and want it to really go touch the insane highs we can't even think of.



Once again, I'm not saying it's possible any sooner, but IT IS NOT IMPOSSIBLE.
BTC can turn impossible into possible but this will surely be seen when our grand children will be of our age. ;)

Lol. Sort of like many people on this forum as well. xP (not meaning you but look around at some of these comments dear god)



Some people said bitcoin would never take off and will do nothing. How foolish do they look now?

1m dollars bitcoin? If Im not mistaken that would be a 17 trillion dollars market cap. Can't see where that money would come from?

Well it would take a real long time before bitcoin can hit such a high price and for sure you can never predict the end of bitcoin's price. This is crypto market and anything can happen. Bitcoin started as a worthless asset now it's very valuable.

Probably. Question is when? I mean, BTC is struggling to hit 10K at the moment or even re-hit its ATH, let alone 100K! Then 1M is brought into the scene! Too huge of values to be speculating this early. But of course, it's not bad to be speculative and optimistic with BTC price but we still have to be realistic, right? Bringing up these huge values may hype people for the wrong reasons. So first, let's be realistic for the moment and just focus on what we see on the boards.

For a long he has been making price predictions on bitcoin, however nothing has happened as predicted. Further he revealed challenges and in that the error has been noted in the security, but he came with some statement claiming he succeeded. Lot of users have blamed him for the predictions and his activities relative to bitcoin. I personally find his predictions to be valued and it gives some some support when we think that the price might go low.

He's being exaggerated about it knowing that there is still a $900k gap between the two figures he mentioned. I wouldn't buy what this guy is saying anymore knowing that he even pulled out the bet the he made that in 2020, he would cut his dick off if bitcoin's price doesn't reach $1M. His recently launched platform is also a massive failure and if that doesn't make you change your mind about how this dude's mind operate then I don't know what will.

I think it will not happen soon because we need a lot of new money coming in to crypto to be able reach $100k per bitcoin. However it's possible in the future and let's not take seriously what John Mcafree says because he's a Schiller.

Kind of understandable considering it's a big money that he's playing with, influencing people to believe what he is saying including to invest into some project is part of his job I guess. Even there's a John McAfee's dickline if I remember where he says that he'll cut down his dick if bitcoin didnt reach $100K at certain date.

The link you shared is broken.

It is a bit an outrageous claim but we cannot really say he is wrong. Was there a specific year mentioned here? It could well happen in the future and most likely not within our lifetime.

mcafee trying too hard by making outrageous statements every few weeks. hes hurting bitcoin more then helping. statements like these make it look like a ponzi to outsiders

Although John McAfee is not to be taken seriously, nevertheless he has been a stronger supporter of bitcoin and he keeps been bullish about what he believes. If the world will have to use bitcoin and our government drop their sentiment and embrace bitcoin, it's going to hit $1 million of a certainty, before it gets there, let us all continue to enlighten the public about the importance of bitcoin and why they must invest on it now.

reaching $ 100k I think it still has to take years to come. now for just $ 12k bitcoin is still having trouble, and I think it might reach $ 100k but it will take a long time. that's my view.

It's still something that we have to hope happens therefore I don't think there is anything that you can be sure of , actually it has increased in price amazingly since it was created but everything has a saturation point and the more it stretches , the more constant it gets therefore we might see in future it being around s particular price at the same time I think it is a good idea to just wait with your coins till it hits.

We are also looking forward to many competitions therefore I don't know if this will go through.

He is a fruitcake, a very rich fruitcake, but I hope he is correct!

My own view is we will FOMO/PUMP up to the ATH again, or some such. Then it will correct 30% and perhaps more with the usual FUD and/or Mt.Gox giving out Bitcoin, etc, etc.

IF Craig Wright was to prove he was part of the Satoshi Group with Dave Kleiman and Hal Finney (both have passed) to the current court case. Well, IMHO Bitcoin will drop to

less than 5K in a heartbeat, if not more. Then there are the 'supposed' USA IRS guidelines they promise to be in place by the end of the year. etc.

You know how it goes. As of right now, IF BTC got near the ATH on FOMO and the FUD came back to haunt us and it 'corrected' to above $10k as the sideways point.

I'd call that a win in the next 6 months.

Of course, I'd like McAfee to be correct at even 1/4 of what he is projecting. But then I'm not as rich as he is to live in a world of unicorns/rainbows and fairies ...

them's the breaks.

But I really, really like the idea that my 'current' worst-case scenario for the next 6 months is that Bitcoin will 'correct' in that time frame above $10k BTC.

As to 100k then 1 million? That would be great. I'd sell plenty before that point. But, too much push back from corp types like facebook, IRS, banks, etc for that fast IMHO

but again, would love to be dead wrong!

Brad

Yeah, $100k is happening but not this year or next year.
If people want to make a prediction about the price of Bitcoin they should be more realistic that people could evaluate and speculate according to the trend. Not like McAfee's prediction which too much is no sense at all if we're going to look at the recent price.

Anyone can predict anything and if the price goes that much then breaking the million dollar mark will be the next target, but how long it will take to reach those valuation is another story and personally i do not trust anything McAfee says as he used to advertise for scam ICO in the past and he showcased that he will advertise anything if he gets some money even if that means the project is to lure people into investing their money and run away with it.

Couldn't agree more, Mcafee is just another ordinary fellas when it comes to predicting and he can't predict the future because he's aint fortune teller but people seem to like believing in him because he's just rich. I mean, being rich doesn't necessarily means he's true to his words and can predict the future. Maybe a million is possible but no one knows what will happen.

Yep, the steps just made some new people for FOMO with what he had and would say. Those of us who have known characters for quite a long time just nodded, but also avoided the bad possibilities that could occur. For new people, they should avoid his words.

Well he is for once right about that, if bitcoin really does well and the prices go up to a high level we can see the price continue to rise dramatically, and more peephole will join the party to get some of the profit and i am sure that bitcoin will take the world by storm again like it did back in 2017 and this time there will be no laws or anything that could stop it from going forward, and this is just because i support McAfee or believe that anyone says it is just based on what i am witnessing.

He also has less then two years to eat his own dick if it does not hit 1 million

"John McAfee has doubled down on his confidence in bitcoin by stating his belief it will be worth $1 million by the end of 2020. Bullishly, the controversial businessman said he will eat his own manhood if the cryptocurrency fails to perform to that level."

he will probably either be dead by then killed by someone or already forgotten by everyone and goes down as one of the many trolls on the internet who kept advertising shitcoins and ICO tokens to get paid. and price won't reach $1 million by then, it will happen later one though because it still needs more adoption to get there and adoption is a slow process.

It is all about him getting his name in the press. Just as it is with his other antics to run for President of the United States of America. He is a doofus with a plan.

He also is tossing 'mud' about and such, because he is likely to be extradited back to the USA for tax fraud by living overseas.

He is simply one of a dozen or so megalomaniac that we seem to follow now in our day to day news. News is no longer news, it is all just 'entertainment' :(

The odds of John McAfee being correct on this are 10x the odds of Craig Wright is being part of the Satoshi Group. It is all misdirection and drama games.

The way the price is moving it will take a lot of years to happen, he should just prepare his dick to eat, he has predicted that he will eat his dick when it failed to reach 1 million dollars this year, and it seems that it would be impossible for the price to reach that in just a short period of time, he should extend it to 10 more years.

$100k is not very possible with this powerful bull run that we have but I have reservations regarding with the $1m price of bitcoin. Just  think that when we reach $100k, most of the people will certainly do large withdrawals or convert it to fiat. There are going to be a lot of slowdown along the way that will make even $300k- $500k impossible. McAfee is very crazy to think his bet will win.

I wouldn’t count on that yet. I also don’t believe the claims of that time traveler guy from 2025 who says that BTC would reach $100,000 this year.

Of course, I would love to see Bitcoin grow, but heading towards $100k this year seems “too good to be true”. Right now, Bitcoin’s price is steadying above $10.5k, and it’s a pretty much healthier and matured type of growth compare to 2017.

Back in 2017, Bitcoin reached an all-time high of almost $20k due to hype and the rise of ICOs before crashing down to $3k. Now the growth looks steady as ever, and I believe that it will continue that way rather than believing of the $100k happening by the end of this year.

However, I could be wrong too. Let’s just see what’s in store for us in the next few months. ;)

Well, he’s the future presidential candidate and that’s why the hype should be made under his name. We know the true bitcoin price in the future, and its not because of John, he’s getting old now and maybe that’s why he create such prediction same thing with Craig. Bitcoin will hit $20k up to $50k at the period of 5years but not $100k.

He could be right in a few years. And after everybody will say that Mcafee was right. Maybe he knows something that the masses don't know. Will see.

I dislike these kind of personalities simply because they could dish anything, without bearing any responsibility and for f sake the media are still catching their words, probably some writers having nothing to do but Tom lees and John Mcafees. Yet i understand the impact of mere words cause some people just will take it as holy guidance, advice, insight whatever it is, sadly the public are sometimes too shallow to understand the decentralized market as whole. So personnel are making good price/prediction model, retesting strategies yet struggle to make a good call, yet far less people are giving attention to these people.

maybe the gambling of bitcoin analysis reaching $ 100k will be difficult to achieve in the near future. right now the best thing is to hear bitcoin reach a price of $ 20k and that has made many people become millionaires.

Here we go, another statement again looking for famous/popularity at cryptocurrency space. I'm still waiting for him to eat his d**k, never trust John McAfee a lot bad reputation already on him with ICO & Other things.

I just don't want Bitcoin to go up to 1 million so this guy isn't right. Because I'm sure if one day Bitcoin goes up to $ 1 million, he's gonna show up and say I said it.

I absolutely do not believe his dick will survive his 2020 prediction.

As for the rest of it, I'm going to say... yes.

Someone said the REALLY hard part was getting from 0 to $10. I dunno about that. A small group of people can get excited enough about something to give it nominal value even if no one else cares.

At 100k the leg work is long out of the way and enough people in enough places believe it has significant value. It can grow from there even if it's nothing other than the dollar losing value against it.

The key though is whether it sustains. I can imagine a truly fevered bubbled causing sellers to go on strike which gets you that headline figure but it may not stick for more than a few seconds. That makes it largely meaningless.

To my opinion John McAfee is not relevant for any Bitcoin prediction. There are too.many experts that are given to many attention without reason. I think such predictions are pure speculations, exaggerated and without any solid ground so I wouldn't bother about this at all.

I stand to disagree with Mcafee on his comment about the value of btc what he did know or hiding at least he has to proved it with a solid and valid evidence to back his acclaimed value of bitcoin breaking $100K first else every bitcoin enthusiast will never take his comments serious again, of recent he had been predicting outrageous values of bitcoin of which most had been pure exaggerations.

In theory, this is possible. But not so fast. In the future, the price of bitcoin can reach a very high value, but you need to monitor the market and understand what is possible at a certain stage, and what is not.

Yes, I agree with many people in this forum that we should not take his words to heart. Each bitcoin holder can also make a prediction on its price in the future, but this does not mean that you need to believe everyone.

John McAfee is always publishing good news for btc  ;D ;D ;D
But i guess he is right when btc reaches the 100 000 mark it can easy reach 1million i think the same.
But its still a long way to reach the 100k .


regards

It's a very strange prediction because there's a big gap between 100 thousand and 1 million. A million dollars per coin is such a big price that we'd need full adoption for it to happen. People would have to compete for every coin on the market but why should they if there's still no way to spend it.

Going from 100 thousand to 1 million can take 10 years. We will be in the era of quantum computing by then.

I really believe him because nothing is certain in this market and everything is just possible. Bitcoin is simply the digital gold and its value van only soar higher

Anyone can make a prediction about Bitcoin and it is either correct or not correct, in my own point of view it is not impossible for Bitcoin to reach $100k US dollars if the bullish market continues to move positively just like what it is happening right now. If you check the movement of Bitcoin in November 2017 its value is playing around $7,000 to $ 8,000 US dollars and within a month it already reached its all-time high at that time and what am I saying here it is not impossible for us to reach that according to the figures of the movement shown on Coinmarketcap.

I worry about this. If it hits 100k then what if what happened when it hit 20k happens? I know a lot of people who a sour to Bitcoin because of that. And if we encourage people out of this field to buy because they trust what McAfee says, then it can hurt them. Just let it reach a million naturally and don't just go by what some guys says.

But the old says "You are just coming, I already returned."
We need also to hear their opinions because even he has boastful attitude, maybe his trying to tell something. Just like, we should buy it immediately because someday it will move up to 30K dollars. He just tell us the possibility for bitcoin to move up but his opinion is too exagerated.

I agree mate ignore it, let's accept the recent price of bitcoin people dreaming bitcoin hit again price more than 20,000$ before end of this year hoping dream come true. 100,000$ for bitcoin price is very impossible to rieach it quickly but it possible to reach that value 10 year from now.

I agree.I do believe that one of these days,bitcoin price will really make it to $100k but dreaming it would reach somehow into a million,it might happen but it would really take 20 or 30 years from now.For now,i'm already satisfied with the current growth of bitcoin that is happening in the market and if this growth will not take a pause,hopefully this will go beyond $20k i guess.

Bitcoin actually has the potental to be worth much much more than anyone is thinking right now.
I'm not talking in our life times but possibly for our kids or grandkids bitcoin and crypto-currency will be the norm same way visa and mastercard are the norm today back when they first were announced they were something new no one wanted really but look where they are today.

Bitcoin will follow this path I think alot of the issue with the markets today is everyone is thinking for the now seeking profit even at the expense of adoption of bitcoin from HFT algo's working to scalp the low hanging fruit from traders to larfe hacks all take away from bitcoin and the perception it has on people.   

We took a LONG time to drift away from the silk road issues of perception by the public now we seems to be heading into the era of You call me this so Ill sue you.   If we all believe in cypto and want it to be the success it should be we really need to look at the state of the ecosystem from the outside without the rose tinted glasses.

Bitcoin still has a long way to go the question is what will you do to help?

The time frame will be the same as what the cycle will be, there's no stopping point for the potentials but since it's still up for the grabbers to bring the
value into succession, He's speculatiing for the possibilities after massed adoptions take place, there's no impossibile when investors seen the big potentials that this crypto currency market will continue and stay for the betterment of payment transactions, who knows if he's going to be right when saying this things.

Rather than giving some random predictions, he should back his claims with stats or solid proof. A lot of users are having doubts regarding the real intention of John McAfee, especially after it was made clear that he will be participating in the POTUS elections of 2020. We can't allow him to use Bitcoin as a tool for him to gain the Libertarian nomination.

LOL about the president thing. I guess he'd be a logical extension of the idiocy that got Trump elected. We'd go from a president that hides his taxes to a president that is actively being sought for tax evasion. The way things have been going in the US that's probably more likely to happen than his $1M BTC prediction.

People predicting Bitcoin's price are very funny:

> If value goes up, value goes up!
> I'm not sure about prices increasing because I don't know!
> If BTC goes up another 50% it can go even higher maybe!

Great predictions, Copernicus. One thing that's sure here is when the price goes up, the savants come out. When the price goes back down, they shut up for a little bit.

I am not a big fan of John McAfee. To tell the truth, he behaves like a little kid sometimes. He needs to understand that the path from 1K to 10K is different from the one that takes 10K to 100K. And the path for 100K to 1,000K is entirely different from these two. You need an increase in market cap by $165 billion, to take the market cap from 1K to 10K. But for 10K to 100K, you need an increase of $1.65 trillion.

There's no reason to trust McAfee, but I believe in the fact that bitcoin can breaks 100K ;)

I have no profound judgment on this issue. But John McAfee is a talent, he knows how to make people remember him and create a formidable effect with "modern" statements. Still remember John McAfee called up the names of the previous year's coins (DGB). That is also a phenomenon :)). In this case, he can also create a wind.

That's really not some kind of statement at all, all I can see is John McAfee trying to get some attention by replying on Winklevoss' tweet. You should learn how to differentiate “hype” and a prediction and the latter is nowhere near what John McAfee is trying to imply. Ny advise for you is just don't get carried away on what are others are saying especially the well-known ones who are known for hyping up everything in the market, they aren't really a reliable thing to hold on in trades.

A million is a very high number I doubt it can reach that level, when it hit too high usually people will find alternative, the rising price will affected the fee, its good to see someone really enthusiastic about bitcoin but we can't expect this based on a person view and word, it takes a big adoption to make bitcoin reach a million

Lol I don't listen what McAfee has to say any more. He may be fun to watch but his advice have 0 weight for me.

How can you explain that shitcoins he promotes have 80$ value one day and less then a dollar 2 months later??

We know him much here than you guys out there do, never take his word more than 3minutes becasue they hold no water therein. But critically looking at the movement of Bitcoin right now, one could tell that, it might surge unexpectedly to hit $50k or $80k but for that of $100k to $1m, am not really sure and can't vouch for that price in the future.

You'd think if he actually had intention to carry through on his dumb bet that he'd be buying at market with big whale purchases constantly to push the price up.

Bitcoin price is always based on speculation, his predict will come true if there is many information who believe bitcoin be reach that price. Jhon McAfee is a good person especially for cryptocurrency world, his tweet will provide a comfortable feeling for all bitcoin investors and also he has been known as a man who has a high IQ so as it will be easy for him to take an attention from many users.

But, if we talk about prediction about bitcoin price we should have own predict, you can predict with yourself witg every conditions such as on the market condition or also from the fundamental condition. Eventually, you will be happier when your own predict come true and you will have a confident if someone ask to you about bitcoin price movement.

The only explanation is he's consistently, unapologetically full of shit, on a sociopathic narcissist level. I really don't understand what the attraction is to this man. He's definitely on the top 10 list of personalities who have damaged the reputation of crypto.

Lazy journalism and clickbait ad revenues.

McAfee has always been too optimistic when it comes to the price of BTC. I believe BTC could easily be worth over $100 000 but one million dollars is too much of a target to hope for. I personally feel he's always setting such high targets in order to somewhat manipulate the market by using his position.

McAfee always exaggerates, bitcoin $ 1 million this is what should be the capitalization of the bitcoin is that it cost$1 million. Although he needs to warm up the audience, because soon something he will have to eat if the cue ball will not cost $1 million

John McAffee will say anything for a RT.

He can be classified as someone who is pro-cryptocurrency, but we can't say that he is pro-Bitcoin. In the past he had supported a large number of the ICOs, and many of them turned out to be scams. A lot of users invested in these ICOs because they trusted him. And all of them lost their investment. John McAfee is no longer in the league of technological innovators. He is just an angry old man who is desperate for money and is constantly scared of getting arrested for tax evasion.

this is exactly the only point of every single statement that McAfee has ever made about bitcoin and its future price. all that has been to gain popularity and attention from users so that he could advertise shitcoins to get them pumped (either because he bought them before and wanted to sell or were paid to pump them) and make a ton of profit.

Winklevoss has invested heavily in Bitcoin, and as per the latest estimates he is holding around $1.1 billion worth of BTC. He makes his statements very carefully, and that too after undertaking a lot of analysis and research. McAfee on the other hand, is behaving like a little boy for the past 2-3 years. He is scared it seems, as he can still be extradited for tax evasion.

100k usd is not a high amount and i dont believe that bitcoin can reach it in a quick manner because if its true then why do you think bitcoins price is still low ? maybe because of the nature of volatility hmmm ?  but being volatile is not a hindrance to make a big progress if people really wants to pump bitcoin  . 100k usd is possible but it will take alot of years  . my prediction will be 5 to 10 years or more .  we must first need to make bitcoin popular so that we can attract more investors  .

John McAfee is crazy and fuckedmind person.

He's a troll, don't care about the troll and don't feed the troll. Ignore him.

 
    I think he is right about this. Anything is possible with Bitcoin, and if price get to 100k what can stop it from getting to
1 Million? Remember that many people never imagined that Bitcoin can get to 10k, we are there twice in two years. With
right we wonder is this the last time we saw price of Bitcoin under 10k!? Maybe June 2019 will be remembered by that.

Well!! A lot of people will believe in his predictions

I doubt that unless the demand has increased by such a degree that $10,000 forms some sort of a fundamental floor.

If we look back, Bitcoin has always been generous offering people a second chance to buy at certain lower levels people don't think are possible to reach anymore. This doesn't mean that we will go back to $4000 or $5000 but a revisit of sub $10,000 levels is definitely not impossible. I would say that a price between $7000-$8000 is still realistic once the momentum runs out.

Of course, people don't want to hear anything about going back to sub $10,000 but you got to be realistic. Being a moonboy works against you more often than it helps you.

We doubt him, because we are used to the slow nature of fiat money.

I doubt him because he has a propensity for lying and otherwise saying anything that will make him the subject of attention.

It's this simple: those who believe in Mcafee's words will benefit when the price of 1 btc crosses $1m usd. Those who don't believe in his words, which is most here and nearly all outside of this forum, won't.
I used to think that patience was the number one ingredient in getting rich in crypto, but I think the ability to believe in the seemingly impossible is even more important.

While I'm all for treating price jumps as percentage gains instead of raw values.. there does come a time when that breaks down... 

1k to 10k.. yeah.. treat that as a 1000% gain and compare that to 10k to 100k ..  that is reasonable..  In the grand scheme of things, the market caps on all of these are a rounding error....

100k to 1MM however...  getting to 1MM will require a not insignificant amount of the world's wealth..   I do put 1MM well within the realm of possible... I do not think it will happen as quick or easy as the 1k -> 10k -> 100k  jumps...

Coming off the 4 year low, bitcoin moved like a snail to go from $200 to $800 - it took over a year. This last 4 year cycle low (assuming it's the low here, but it's a pretty safe assumption) bitcoin moved from $3k to $12k in a few weeks.
Maybe the higher the price exponentially, the easier the moves become. This isn't like any asset the world has ever seen, it's basically writing it's own history.

It is just lying all around in order to make his own benefits this is why we don't trust and we don't believe him.
It is not about slow nature of fiat money but it is about the nature of logical thinking.

This is the most common problem for anyone on where if they do look the price is mooning they do like to see it all the way to the heavens without even
thinking on the possible correction that lies ahead afterwards if the momentum has weaken.A healthy market do have always a price correction and
its an inevitable thing that should be considered anytime.

Lot of predictions came from John McAfee, but how many predictions became true ? Lots of investors lost fund during last bull run due to his fake predictions. I will not say that bitcoin could not touch $1 Million, but don't think it will happen too early. Overall makert is fine and bitcoin growth is healthy, so we can see a good price end of this year like all time high. But I am not expecting $1 Million even end of 2020.

Wtf are you blabbering about?
-His predictions aren't "fake", they are just that - John's predictions.
-His predictions about $500k and $1m bitcoin are all by end of 2020, so anyone doing anything based on his predictions and losing money cannot blaim John, they only have themselves to blame.
-To date, I am unaware of a single bitcoin prediction that John has missed - maybe you can enlighten me.

In all fairness these were the same thoughts when people talked about it hitting $100.

Oh buddy. You must have been living under a rock. Pretty much every prediction he's ever made about any cryptocurrency - and especially bitcoin - has been extraordinarily wrong.

Here's just a couple of examples.

December 2017: "Bitcoin now at $16,600.00. Those of you in the old school who believe this is a bubble simply have not understood the new mathematics of the Blockchain, or you did not cared enough to try. Bubbles are mathematically impossible in this new paradigm. So are corrections and all else" (BTC of course was in a bubble which popped less than a month later)

May 2018: “Bitcoin will surpass $15,000 in June. Will dip in July.” (BTC went down from $7500 to $6400 in June)

His predictions are now much more general and he doesn't give dates. All of his altcoin predictions have been dead wrong. Every. Single. One.

The man is a paid liar and everyone who makes investments based on his words stands to lose a great deal of money.

While I think the predictions McAfee gives are too positive especially when it comes to the timing of those predictions, the truth is that anyone that is investing following the predictions of someone else deserve whatever they get, if there are people that lost money following his predictions then they should use that as a lesson and learn how to make predictions that gives them profits by themselves otherwise their career as investors will surely be a short one.

McAfee is quite a famous person and there are always many investments related to bitcoin and crypto, and so he always makes extremely positive predictions about the future and the value of this market is certain because he is an investor, he never expects failure in investment, he always takes advantage of his popularity and influence to create crowd effects in the market, the main purpose is profit. Believing in his predictions is just silly, a lot of evidence has shown the deviation and impracticality from the numbers he says, using our knowledge and perspective will be wiser
