Bitcoin Must Gain 13,800% in 2020 to Stop John McAfee Eating His P****s like promised  :D i can't wait to see the end result already, you can click on this link for full news

He never had any intention of fulfilling his end of the bargain, and it is entirely possible he never really believed that bitcoin was going to reach such a high price, he did all of that just to bring attention to himself and it seems that he was successful since we are still talking about it, it is better to forget about it and concentrate on what bitcoin can actually achieve.

Also it maybe a good idea to move this to the bitcoin discussion section of the forum instead of posting this in the altcoin section.

I heard that news from previous news and I am from that time confident that yes the price of bitcoin will gain that much because all of his previous predictions were correct and it is also not impossible for bitcoin to reach to that value because in crypto we saw the history that the value when start to increase then it increases much faster and even in a week bitcoin can attain a 10x value.

That guy is totally crazy.
Don't even know why people are making it as one of the famous face of crypto.
This guy is the worst that happened to crypto communities.
Stop Making Stupid People Famous.

This is not the first time he was wrong with his prediction and this os not the first time that he made promises like this. If 2020 will end and his price prediction isn't reach (which will be likely) this day will come up like nothing even happened and he won't even mention anything about this. He is just one of those influencial people who are using their fame and not real analysis when it comes to determining out price predictions making their price targets hugle inaccurate. Because at the end of the day their reputation wouldn't change and a lot of people will still believe in what he is saying.

No I think you got him wrong as he is the strongest supporter of bitcoin and if we all will be the stronger supporters of bitcoin like him then bitcoin will not see a winter season or a bear market like we saw in 2018. If we all will support strongly like McAfee then there will be a continuous rise in the value of bitcoin and it was possible that the price of bitcoin would be 1 million till now.

Oh speaking of the devil, the other " experts " are all in the silence eating very well and living very well as if at the beginning of 2019 they had not said that by the end of 2019 the price would be very high, it is unbelievable, the year of 2019 ended at a price of $7000. Is a price far below the price of " expert " predictions at the beginning of 2019. Well, in a few months these same " experts " will again make exaggerated predictions, this has become an endless cycle.

No one knows what'll happening to the price and these so called "expert" are nothing more than ordinary crypto enthusiast. Same goes for mcAfee he's just making crazy prediction out of nothing and for the sole purpose of gathering attention. as a result, he's now among the most famous figure in crypto. I guess that already serve the purpose of that ridiculous prediction.
Not really stupid if he know how to get the attention from public and make money out of it.

Not like it really mattered in the first place; we all knew he was a crazy person and even back when the guy was making the prediction, $1 Million USD was still extremely far away even with the momentum we had in 2017. I could totally see more sideways or downwards motion for Bitcoin and cryptocurrency prices in general for the rest of 2020 as well, considering there doesn't seem to be much buying into cryptocurrencies in general and the prevailing trend is still downwards.

People make these insane predictions every day. Nothing new.

McAfee is just an ultra bullish person in crypto world. It will better for everyone if they stop listening to his series of advice because these make no sense at all! I agree that McAfee is one of the known names in the crypto world and he is a very strong supporter of cryptos. But he has just lost his credibility through his useless speculations which is definitely not based on ground realities! Just avoid his speculations!

There are multiple of promises this man has broken. He's just became a cheap show. Had some paid promotions with his high follower twitter account.
Though I like how he speaks his mind without thinking it over. If you leave behind the paid tweets, in some stances, he has made some witty statements.

It was the time when he supported an altcoin he shills and tragically end by massive dumping which made people upset about his exaggerated speculations. He wouldn't really eat a dick just because he loses this speculation, we all know he said it to win the support of the bullish traders. If its not someone like Mcafee who said it will be $1M by 2021, not any crypto news will ever put it on the news but its him which made it something worth spreading through crypto websites.

McAfee is one of the strongest crypto supporter out there and the guy don't need anymore famous hunts, he said he doesn't want to be a political candidate, if all he wants is famous that's the easiest spot

Will you be there when he would eat his P****, I don't think he will fulfill his promise. To be sincere anything is possible but the chance of Bitcoin hitting that price height is slim for now, who will not want BTC to do 138X from the current price, even those holding satoshi will get something in return.

Yes, I read the article about the price prediction BTC delivered by John McAfee. in my opinion it's a natural thing because predictions can potentially occur but a number of negative cases that befell crypto in 2019 which makes the price predictions from mister John McAfee misses far. He has made progress in the crypto industry. Let's respect him ;D

He's not in trouble at all. In fact he already won.
It doesn't matter a bit if Bitcoin will reach or not $1M price. If it won't, well, McAfee will have to think of a new speech.
But again, it doesn't matter. Every time we discuss about price, his name also comes into the discussion. He's recognized as a Bitcoin supporter, he has got quite a lot of money from crypto businesses... his advertising tactic was just fantastic!

He also said the bear market was about over when it was around the $7,000 mark too and then went quiet when things crashed to $3,200. It's only when there's bullish momentum, people come out of the woodwork and start speaking up. anyway, I think Bitcoin will for sure hit a million but not on the time table. there will be tons of drops and gains. we are still on an increasing trend, and for the upcoming years or so at least I think we will continue to see this increase. Especially with all the money heading towards it.

I have known mccafee for a long time and I do not think he is in trouble

During the days of docademic and others, he did likewise
It is though a challenge to investors to get their information right instead of relying on predictions

Crypto investing is not sports betting

even if he was totally wrong with his predictions, he will just laugh it off afterwards. he's not holding your investments so why would he be in trouble? you have all the freedom to do what you need to do with your money. he will not answer to any of your failures or winnings. he's just ordinary person that can give as many predictions as he can. he's just using his old popularity to gain supporters especially now that he has his own DEX.

13 800% potential profit? Not bad. But I do not think if it is possible at all because Bitcoin should have 3 times bigger martket cappitalization than Bitcoin.

By the way, If Bitcoin hits 1 million USD than I will have enough money to retire in my 24 years  ;D. Isn´t it a dream?

Lol that is not what will be happening. He knows if that will not happen this year and that's why he was creating a non-sense prediction like that as he is looking for more attention from the crypto users especially when it comes to the ico that can use his service to shilling the coin. We know that with the decrease of the ico trend and he was looking at his job becomes a crap advisor for the scam ico and his intention to bring it back again as it can be considered as the easiest way for him to generate the money.
He knows if what he was saying before will never happen.

just another public stunt, when the time is running out and the result tells that mcafee should eat his own peepee he'll suddelny get amnesia and forget about it. Though, this one is amusing public stunt and none of us here could probably have the courage to spout such nonsense.exactly, even if things goes wrong and should he eat his own peepee none of us could even force it or sue him even if he breaks the promise

McAfee was not credible with his prediction anymore, he was right in the past but it doesn't mean he will be right all the time.

What he did in the past when the market was bullish is unacceptable, he used to take advantage of his popularity by promoting the "coins of the day" through his tweet IIRC which makes the newbies loves to follow but ended up regretting in the end.

I am sure Mcafee will Curse you out if you remind him his promise to eat his genitals If his Bitcoin price prediction fails. He is that hilarious and controversial. I will advice you don't take him too seriously. People like Roger Ver and Craig Wright that hold tons of Bitcoin can't even accurately predict the movement of Bitcoin

What was the time when he was right again? I know him only from his wild predictions really. To be honest, it is hard to trust him with his 1 mil prediction firstly because he seems like a drugged criminal and nothing more. Also he says he used maths to come up with that prediction but he never said what type of maths really which might be just tons of bs. He might have to get on with losing that bet.....

Not sure anyone really cares about whether or not McAfee eats his p***s (oh, and you had 5 asterisks there, and that can be quite confusing while trying to decrypt the intended word there, lol); if the market nails his prediction we'll all be happy otherwise, his statement whether or not he follows through with the bet will not add any value to the crypto community.

they just make jokes and make a few predictions to be able to strengthen the confidence of investors to get into cryptocurrency and John McAfee will always create a version control that can trigger investors, so I don't think you need to be surprised to see that.

Sometimes, I think if he must eat his d*ck because Bitcoin can't reach the target :D

it is so funny, he is a influencer, he should becarefull with what he say. but he doesnt
his behaviour doesnt reflect as influencer, too much promise. it can break his popularity

I don't think MCAfee is in trouble. He has just predicted but all time prediction doesn't become success. His few previous prediction was nearly correct, hence it may not be 13800% increase for BTC but we can expect at least 100% increase in 2020 sooner or later.

Crazy bet for Mcafee claims that he’s a mathematician and he knows where Bitcoin price is going. He can fool no one eating his genetal if his prediction fails, probably the man is just fond of making stunts and like people laughing at him.

That's gonna be a big lose on his part. Actually the claim can be possible but the timeline he set is quite impossible to achieve. I believe btc price can gain so much value in the future but for betting it on this year is quite ridiculous idea. Anyway he bet on rsting his d***. Now I suggest be a man and prove that you keep your words for it.  ;D Someone gonna eat his own D*** this year.

Definitely right there man, I don't even think that he got a piece of care about complains that "he got this wrong and such", he might be doing it out of habit. He's been in this game for a long time, and it doesn't bothered him that he claims tons of mistake as he's already used to, he ain't crazy though. He got a big name, and it is just easy for him to cover up his mistakes. Lastly, investing would still depend on us, you're a fool if you're depending on a popular people out there claiming what they think towards crypto that in the first place no one even knows.

ROFL... like McAfee gives a damn about it.... Let me remind you... John McAfee is the same guy who promoted more than two dozen scam ICOs (he charged $105,000 for a single tweet from his official Twitter account to promote them) and the investors lost a combined wealth of around $2 billion in these scam projects. McAfee has never apologized for his actions or expressed regret. More worryingly, he has shown no intention to stop his scammy behavior. He continues to support scams and tarnish the reputation of cryptocurrency.

We all should be familiar that people who make bold statements like that are doing it for the publicity and the natural spreading of the news. I don't know what's the real personality of McAfee if he intends to keep on his word, but I doubt someone would be willing to do it, let alone eat his private parts. We should be used to shills like this, especially from a famous person. It may affect the price a little bit during that time of the announcement, but it's not a long term effect. Maybe a couple of his followers would get involved in cryptocurrencies, but not everyone.

We still got a year to wait for 2021 is the year, right? Lol.

It's not even a bad prediction and it's more than it just call it as a non sense prediction that comes from the paid for shill like mcafee. Almost 100% of prediction that has been made by him is totally fail.
I would like to see that happens for sure but i just try to take the fact from the market as sense indicators to predict the rate of bitcoin.
To touch 14 k looks a better prediction and it looks like almost all of crypto users will try to sue him to pay off his promises.

Another drama for sure

Commercial speculative tweet is one of bad behavior. I see that his plan makes sense only at Mcafeedex, and besides that it only revolves around speculation about the price of bitcoin and its activities as a project advisor. He seems to be risking a ridiculous reputation. These people are more concerned with business, and I believe he has made a lot of profit only from the controversy about crypto in the last few years.

Quite often I hear negative statements about John McCaffe and that he is associated with the fraud of many ico companies.  If this is really the right information, then I would rather not pay attention to all the statements of this person and just ignore him, so that he could not influence the cryptocurrency market with all the information that is published about him.

Not McAfee if his statement did not create a very surprising controversy. There is no need to worry about the opinions expressed by McAfee. He spoke without analysis and he was related to several scammable projects and to date he has never regretted his actions. So when McAfee makes an opinion, I am more interested in ignoring it, because he only thinks of himself without thinking of the interests of many people

His ridiculous prediction is not new and sometimes I think he is paid to do it. No one listens to his prediction again because it had always failed and it is always outrageous. Can he stop doing it if it fails this time again? No. Some people just enjoy being in the news and John is one. He is likely a druggy, but am sure he is always under the influence of alcohol.

That his own fault, he should suck his d*ck just like what he promised before. He keep promising unrealistic prediction so why we should believe to him? even if he is a famous person we should not just believe to what he say because he is one of the ignorant person that I know. He keep saying things that he cannot fully explained, there are now many victims of what he said and many people regretted because they follow the opinions of McAfee.

john is a crazy person, making speculations about bitcoin that doesn't make sense and why many people still believe in him.
no matter what he says, should be don't take it as seriously, let him say anything about bitcoin because everyone already knows that he is speaking baseless.

Well John McAfee was always been in trouble not just in his BTC prediction, but everything in his life.

He is eccentric individual so I don't know why people are 'obsessed' with his $1 million = 1 BTC because people who thinks logically knows that it won't happen in 2020. Is his going to eat his dick? Nah, I'm sure he will make another excuses and will make another outlandish predictions again.

He is a liar and made a lot of people lose when investing in the shitcoin he fomo in 2017-2018. I still remember him advertising a lot of altcoins and promising that they would raise prices in the future, but as a result all that collapsed and became a scam. Never trust what he says, and certainly bitcoin is unlikely to go up to $ 1 million this year, which is a joke

1 million seems impossible but who knows ? seems we already forgot that bitcoin can do miracles just like what happened on the past  where the value rise in an instant .  what if that shocking event can happen again ?   back to mcafee  .  mcafee didnt only advertise cryptos but he also advertise its own exchange called mcafee dex   . the exchange was new and recently been advertise on this forum   . it then gain massive attention because people do also love to make of john  .

I'm sure he'll quit and leave the crypto world, he'll just make money in the crypto world no more and he can't keep his promise, he'll run away with his crazy analysis, everyone knows he doesn't have much money to push that bitcoin price high, anymore it seems like he's trapped by the current situation, he'll be like a forgotten man because he's a demented parent who doesn't remember anything

Sorry, I read it wrong.I thought "you can dick on this link for full news". LOL  ;D

He should really go to the grocery now to buy a lot of mouth rinsing products.
Then, he should start to learn become a ballerina so he could reach for his dick.
It will not happen. Not a chance for this year.

This man is another comic bitcoin star, this time he doesn't join ranks with fake Satoshis, just in the game of hyping coins and bitcoin prices. I hope his prices come true someday. A neophyte must be careful never to take him serious in the interim.

but there will still be people who will believe in him, but for people who are smarter then there is no level of concern about the words that he makes. so I think we really have to enlighten people who still always believe the words of someone including John McAfee. because he had made a lot of mistakes from the words he put out

It's strange if such predictions are attributed to challenging like that, in order to get a FOMO where surely many people so followup participate in order for John McAfee to eat. Should we have to focus on changing the good ecosystem for new investors to always buy bitcoin for the future.

I thought we should be focused on how large that dick is.
Will he do a deepthroat?  ;D

That man really made a mess in the crypto market. So many stupid people did believe him and they are even making thread here with regards to that one million dollar prediction of him.
They got so carried away with his joke.  :D

The joke was on him, he started the joke and let many people to believe he wanted to create fomos and bring the value to a good peak but no one follow him up. He's not going to do that and just move forward with his false claim. Consider this as another part of his many wrong assumption inside the market. Expect more as he's still alive and active to this industry.

He never in the same way with the faketoshi and mcafee is a bitcoin pro rather than BSV. He is also hating BSV too as it's a politic coin that has already made to scam people.
Just let him predict what ever they wanna predict it. As long as that will not about shilling for the scam coin and there is no problem with it.
The problem with mcafee if he was running paid for promotion without care so much about the reputation of the project that is hire him as the advisor.
When this problem will never happen again and i think there is no reason to feel contradicting with his prediction.

It will be great to see this guy eat his own p**** when bitcoin failed to reach up to his prediction, bitcoin will definitely surge this year but not up to the prediction of McAfee, it's simply over exaggerated

I doubt that he will suck his dick for bitcoin's sake. I mean this guy is a a**hole so of course we don't believed that kind of prediction, it's exaggerated. But guess what, since that statement, he make a lot of followers who totally believed in him, LOL.

And he make a lot of money out of those fools, maybe he was secretly dumping his bitcoin during the height and making public stunt in order for him to make money. He play us really good, or at least those who thought that $1 million is achievable in 2020.

It was a ridiculous claim right off the bat. And sensible people would know that this guy didn't really mean what he said. Too radical. We all know he's crazy, though i like his stand on the role of btc in future transactions. But that stunt about 1million btc and eating his dick off is just totally a trollling statement. He's probably laughing at those who were affected by it.

Nah, he doesn't even bothered by it. He has reputation and he is already popular it would be way easy for him to disregard his mistakes. And besides, I bet that he knew what he is doing and what would be the consequences of it before that he didn't get bothered by it. That is why we must as well ignore him, and be thankful if he got one correctly.

He certainly won't do it, I think it's just a trick to make him more famous. He is an adviser to many projects, he has a team to promote projects based on his popularity. He is making money while people wait for something that never happens.

Are you still waiting for that to happen? Lol! If you are just knowing the man called John McAfee, then you might need to wait till eternity, to see his predictions come to pass.
To cry out loud 13,800% is way too much. This is a new year, let's be more realistic and believe in the feasible.
Bitcoin will surely grow, but don't believe in fantasies. John McAfee, well, I like him, but he believes in fantasies.

Super duper.agree with you this 13800% is a lot way from the current price of bitcoin, Mcafee is so so crazy men!! He always gives a dumb prediction for bitcoin, I dont think if he will fulfill hispromise but this is a good to wait hahahaha eating di** is a crazy way! Haha

He is never in trouble. He will just make something up. Do not worry for him. He is way to smart.

Even though I only consider it a sensation, challenges still continue throughout 2020. A reputation cannot be built only in the form of speculation of empty words, it only aims to arouse the crypto investor's enthusiasm for positive thinking. If it ultimately fails, then mcafee must make something credible with something that makes more sense.

And it is precisely that reason why being a cryptocurrency expert means nothing, they will throw any kind of prediction and then when confronted they were wrong they will give all kind of excuses instead of just accepting the markets are difficult to predict for everyone even them, that is the conclusion I reached long time ago and since then I only trust in my conclusions about the market, obviously I make mistakes but at least I do not have an agenda other than to make myself some profits.

He is not doing it either. I think he just said taht to hype up the community and make their investment thrown in to bitcoin. We know Mcafee sometimes being a dickhead and would blurt something out without knowing of the consequences of his actions.

Based on all the reviews that sound about McAfee on bitcointalk, I don’t know how to relate to this person, because I always considered this person a scammer, because he wants to give the name Satoshi Nakamoto himself.  But today I meet such reviews of cryptocurrency users who feel sorry for this person or who justify certain of his actions and statements.  I think that there is enough unverified news in the media, because of which it is impossible to fully assess the situation.

In my opinion, he has always been making trouble and right now he should only focus on his new job as a political activist and stop predicting price developments in crypto industry.

Well said mate. I don't think anything he says or has said will have any positive impact on crypto market. At this point, I don't think any one cares.

This sure does bring back memories of the past when he was making that promise of eating his....... on TV. I mean like, he was the one that said that if Bitcoin fails to reach 1 Million bythe end of 2020 or 2021, maybe? Well, there's still a lot of months left.

Sometimes, it's weird seeing people with their crazy predictions, even making a promise about such things. But, if his prediction fails, would he really do that?
His statement was quite a thing back then, so I'm sure a lot of people still remember that one.

I think he's one of most influenced person in cryptocurrency because his name is already big and also he's always have positive vibes on his twitter if you ever seen, never have pesimist opinion with crypto and also always cheering up crypto even in worst condition.

That's just a news, as he is one of the popular face of the cryptocurrency community the news has been talked big. Lots and lots of people could've made similar price predictions. In my view by that time he was much into cryptocurrency and supported few projects in promotion. Most of the projects failed and few got termed to be scams.

This isn't gonna be a trouble to him, possibly he'll mention the statement relating with something else and give new explanation to his own words.

Agreed with that. He is smart and he was able to make a lot of money by fooling others. He promoted dozens of scam ICOs, which caused huge losses to anyone who invested in them. But he made millions by promoting them using his official twitter handle (as per reliable sources, he was charging $105,000 for a single tweet). The ICO hype ended in 2019, and after that he tried his hand at a few other ventures. Last year, he came up with the idea of a DEX site. But till date, none of them had been successful.

He has already said the hint of surrendering with his claim.  We will never see him take what he has promise so it's likely that he just did it on a purpose telling few years ago that bitcoin will reach $1,000,000.

But I'm sure that many is counting on that price but it will take a lot of time before seeing that. AFAIK, he's in real trouble now and it's not about the prediction but he's something up with the US gov't that he's fleeing.

What he recently said is that he doesn't plan to eat his dick, his promise was made to attract people and he said he succeeded in that. He said that whoever believed in such nonsense that he will eat his dick is a fool! He added something about Bitcoin, how it's old technology now and that something new will replace it. I think if you scroll down his tweets you will find a tweet about that. It's from the last 30 days more or less!

What do you think ? in my opinion the only attracts people to see bitcoin. however, it is very difficult to say that he is crazy when the business and the money he produces are more than ours. Well, I feel that he is benefiting from this, and I think many businessmen boast about their words. when he profits from it, it might look stupid, but if it works, it's not stupid. Well, since he argues like that, with the potential that exists today, it's quite difficult for bitcoin to rise to that price.

Oh yes, he added that.

I don't know what his intention for adding that word about bitcoin and telling it was like that. There must be something that he's thinking which we're not aware of it again. I know that so there's no need for me to scroll through his twitter account.

Yes, it was clearly a publicity stunt on his part. So I don't know why people started to believed that he will do it. To be honest, once he predicted that bitcoin will be $1 million, I completely laugh because I know that it won't happen in the near future.

Just imagine the price, do we really think that people or some big investors are going to let it happen? Governments are going on our necks, specially on tax liabilities. At least he admitted it and we may know go and move on and not to believed on John anymore.

Exactly, he is not in trouble as we see it.
Let's put it this way - he is in controllable trouble which he made himself in order to bring attention.
And then he profits from it because at this moment people's attention is one of the most valuable things.
You can call him a clown, but real clown loves when people laugh at him so does McAfee.

A couple of years ago it was somehow interesting for me to watch the actions of McAfee and I was following the news related to him, but then I realized that this person was writing some kind of nonsense and there was no sense in what he was writing, and then I stopped monitoring for him and for all the news related to him, for there simply is no sense in this.

In 2017 and 2018, he was very popular in the cryptocurrency market. Almost everyone knows him and believes in what he says. Every time he Fomo altcoin on twitter, the price immediately increased many times, but gradually people know he is not an analyst. He just tries to fomo people into shitcoins and makes many people lose. Btw he abandoned the bitcoin price prediction and admitted that it was a baseless prediction and only tried to create hype to help the market grow.

Lol :D if you've been following crypto news day by day you should have read that McAfee have denied the claim already, saying 'who would be so stupid enough to believe that' we'll I did replied him on his twitter account how hilarious of a man he is   :D

why are you even believing in him? McAfee will never be as good as in the past, his reputation in crypto is like CSW already.

This guy are just saying his prediction out from his own imagination.

he can say whatever he wants as everyone is free to speculate in crypto. however, saying something that he will do something if it doesn't happen is like punch in the air. he will create some noise as he has vested interest in crypto and other blockchain projects. if it will help on his personal interests, why not?

Exactly, but some people would still believe this guy anyway for the simple fact that he's rich although it's really obvious that all the things he said is for the sole purpose of gaining self interest and nothing more. Even I already expect this guy to make an excuse when caught on his own word Even I don't have a clue what this guy is doing other than shilling for shitty project/

I guess before this year ends he would make another statement that would extend it.
Nobody should listen to this clown already he is just making it up and everybody could do it his prediction doesn'thave any basis or analysis it is just a random amount predicted due a high market pump at that time.

The problem is some people have taken his promise as a real thing that will be full filled by mcafee in the future when all if his prediction become fail. I do agree with his personal interest and since the downtrend of the ICO or another fundraising platform and he was not getting a lot of orders from the scam project to make him became the advisor like what already done by some scam blockchain projects in 2017 - 2018.
He was creating such noise to pay the attention again from the market but right now he is not more than a liar.

AFAIK he has already retracted this offer/promise, whatever you wanna call it.

At the end of the day it's still a publicity stunt and it doesn't change the nature of the reason why he's in crypto - to further his own influence and wealth. He's sucked in many sponsors and endorsements through doing these publicity stunts and at the end of the day, he benefits no one but himself.

People should stop treating him as a spokesperson for crypto or whatever, because that is the exact opposite of what he is - he paints a picture of hypocrisy and ludicrousness upon actual crypto adopters.

Lol. Everyone can say anything in the internet.
At first Mcafee was like a mysterious person for me, but turns out he is just one of those trolls in the internet that says random things and will claim to do something.
This.

Perhaps news of this kind creates a background of media personalities to attract attention. In any case, we will never know about it but personally I try to think critically.

Do you really believe what he said so far? I don't think we can trust too much of the nonsense he said and don't make him a role model in the world of Crypto in my opinion, surely he is not a person who has too much influence on the world of cryptocurrency today so what he says will not have much impact on the development of cryptocurrency .

And you took mcaffee's prediction seriously? Well, personally I followed his project hypes wayback, even though most end up being crappie, and it got to a point that most people didn't take his predictions serious anymore.

Well.. you can't deny the fact that John McAfee is still a big name across the industry. When he makes crazy statements such as this one, the major media outlets will cover the story. It is entirely another topic whether his prediction is believable or not. I am someone who believes that any sort of publicity (either negative or positive) is going to benefit the cryptocurrency sector.
