John McAfee just said Bitcoin Outdated and Loves Ethereum. Is that a real interview. If yes, what are you thinking that, why he said that.
He is afraid of his word which he had said 2017!
If you didn't see you can see the interview.

I'm not even going to click that interview. This guy is so full of shit and he received more attention than he'll ever deserve during those days he pumped dozens of shitcoins.

Who the hell is still listening to him? I'm sorry if someone reading this is one of them, but those sitting around him and listening to the words coming out of his mouth are mostly the leeches this community doesn't need.

McAfee is changing his words all the time depending on the coins he owns. Didn't he launch his Ethereum-based exchange a few months ago? Oh, what a coincidence - now he shills ETH.. it's not like he earns fees from the exchange (which looks like a failure by the way), right? ;D

At the time of writing, Bitcoin's last code commit was made within the last 24 hours, so I don't see how anyone of sound reasoning could call it "outdated".  If Bitcoin went for several months without any updates being made, then sure, it would be falling behind in the race.  But updates are made all the time.  Most coins wish they were as actively developed as Bitcoin.

People need to stop talking about John McAfee, he's an unhinged fruit-loop.

I thought that we're done with John McAfee?

John McAfee called BITCOIN as a Shitcoin! (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5221695.0).

Let the issue rest, he already exposed himself by just riding the popularity of bitcoin during 2017. Now he is hyping Ethereum. He is a crypto influencer, so everything he said should be taken with a grain of salt.

He's also promoting or running several ICO projects in the past, from the shadiest to not so great ones. I still remember where his pics were used by those crappy ICOs to fool customers and now they're rekt forever because those projects died.

Still can't believe people like him are being mentioned by media here and there.

Can we like, stop and forget about this guy already? This guy is old news that is trying veryyy veryy hard to become relevant to the scene, which he isn't. You wouldn't even see the guy standing up to his words for a few minutes into a discussion, why even bother listening to him. He probably forgot to change the terms used. Bitcoin isn't outdated, he is. Ethereum is loved yes, he isn't. Sad life for this guy.

There's a lot other people we could actually take note of. Those that actually contribute to the scene and know which coins are shit and those coins which are loved.

Although my respect to him died years ago and wouldn't like to read the news because Craig has never be sincere to himself and those who stood behind him. I still remember when he decided to join hands with BCH and then BSV and end up with ETH now. He's not to be follow when it come to cryptocurrency because he lack the truth about the technology. He should join forces with Ethereum and continue his journey with the altcoins  ;)

Because he is well known crypto influencer . Even though all of what he say is not true and just want to promote something for his own interest no one will believe this man anymore since many of the project he shill is not giving profit for investors but a lost . I dont even want to hear/watch any interview from him  its just a waste of time .

How low can John Macfee go?
He abused the fact that he was a somehow famous person in cryptography ecosystem to promote scam projects . He earned lots of money that way.

He had a nice reputation as the developer of macfee antivirus... sadly he is now just a scammer.

I don't know why people still believe in what McAfee says. At least for me his credibility is at all-time-lows level.

There are a lot of distractions in the world and a lot more in crypto. The ones who know when and where to focus will be the winners. Don't listen to other people's opinions, but make your own dilligence instead.

He is now desperately trying to pump eth? Knowing that he is a paid shill, it wouldn't surprise me if Vitalik paid him to shill Eth.

The truth is Ethereum is not going anywhere (other than down) in the long term and 2.0 will be a shit show.

It seems to me that you should not refer to his words at all. This is an ordinary showman who makes money with his image. He can say anything, this is all part of his game. Why do people follow him? I personally do not see in his personality something that can help me become smarter in order to make more informed investment decisions.

Some things can never be outdated and one should understand that even if new technologies are coming and evolving the good thing with softwares are that they can be updated , this is why the old companies are still functioning and people actually trust the older companies more because ofc they have more idea of what they are doing.
I do think it doesn't matter how many cryptocurrencies keeps coming and going bitcoins will always be bitcoins.

If bitcoin is outdated how come Ethereum hasn't overpower bitcoin? Yes the price of ethereum is getting better everyday but the price isn't even one forth of the current price of bitcoin so how can he say that ethereum is the new trend? Anyways, I don't know what is his basis of saying that and I don't really care what he says because for me, bitcoin is never outdated if ethereum will skyrocket to more than the price of bitcoin then that's the time I will agree that bitcoin is outdated.

I had time to spare and tried to watch the entire interview but only managed half of it. It's like watching an animated character and I couldn't stand it anymore.

He's a fan of smart contracts and we all know ethereum is the one that started it. If there will be a newer tech that would come out, I wouldn't be surprise if he calls ethereum an outdated project too. One thing that's good there is that he said he's not a fan of xrp and hinted it's a scam  :D

Fixed it for you.

John love the money, that's all there is to it.

He used to like Bitcoin when people were asking him for interviews and were amazed by his Bitcoin predictions but then the bear market came and john's predictions didn't work out.

Altcoin pumpers hired him to support them so he liked altcoins and now even those altcoins removed him from their boards so he doesn't work for shitcoiners and can't go back to Bitcoin so now he's trying to be an ETH supporter. What a sad old man.

Frustrated or not John Mcafee will never stop, But I guess all we need to do is just move on with what kind of man he is predicting a 2 million worth of Bitcoin by 2020 is just his wishful thinking the price he wants bitcoin to land and there is no math or calculations in that but all wishful thinking his just riding its popularity just like all bitcoin wannabee pros,

In my opinion, Bitcoin is not outdated it is a more complex and highly innovated that update is no longer required John Mcafee doesn't know what he is saying and just a great pretender in what I am seeing he will surely make antics about Bitcoin every time it is in the bearish movement, But will keep his quite if the movement is in Bullish.

Not that any other way he could have said it would have changed my mind about him but at least he could have come up with something better against Bitcoin. Why did he do this? Did he change all his btc for eth in some drunken Bahamas stupor?

It's strange that people continue to harp on the öutdatedness of Bitcoin tech but come on, Eth's interplanetary computer shebang hasn't exactly surpassed Bitcoin's sophistication. Faster/cheaper/newer doesn't mean better.

Once McAfee was praised as he was positive about bitcoin and its level of adoption and the growth. To the expectation the growth took place to certain point. Further the growth hasn't happened, and started to show himself to the outer world through different challenges. Even after losing on the challenges he managed to show himself as the winner. This way he isn't considered as a person of legitimacy.

Each and every cryptocurrency user know about the potential of bitcoin and ethereum. In my view there is nothing big to analyse his statement, as he isn't that valuable for the cryptocurrency network.

I really don't know why people even bother what McAfee is saying, he proved so many times that is completely irrelevant when it comes to Bitcoin or.any other cryptocurrency.
He is just spreading disinformation and confusing people and by sharing his words and thoughts we are just giving him unnecessary attention so just don't do this.

Mcafee again. I thought this guy is done because only newbie takes his post seriously. There are hundreds of bitcoin influencers I know on twitter but Mcafee is one hell of a person that only looks for people to dance to his own tunes. Probably he may be thinking about how to pump ethereum or how much his influence has on the price of ETH. We all know that ETH too has been around for a long time, so saying bitcoin is outdated is a very funny joke. Although ETH blockchain has other related functions Bitcoin is not outdated

People become attracted to respond because the media blows it up. All media know very well that McAfee is a controversial person, they want to take advantage of the situation. So, we cannot blame if some of us are responding to what McAfee's statement. Media leads or triggers us responding to it!

And he also spreads misleading information to be popular. For me, McAfee is a truly bad man in crypto world.

The guy is considered already a joke, a troll, a clown and is trying to make something to notice his actions in public. Everything what he is intended to do now or in the future is always considered as a joke. There's nothing new about him that would make us all believe since he officially backed out to his last bet that he would eat his own dick on national TV when his prediction about of the Bitcoin price failed.

John McAfee has no knowledge about Bitcoin, let alone crypto currency. He gets paid to shill shitcoins on Twitter, that's it. His opinion is worth nothing, just ignore him because he is dying for attention like this.

Hahaha... why he is moving so much when he talk. ;D ;D According to video he is saying he was never hold bitcoin. And why people would believe that lie..? He is just a junk and manipulate person in crypto world. I remember couple of years ago he promoted some shit coin for his own profit. Although after some pumping dumping game he said that his twitter account was hacked. Well people are not stupid as you think John. >:(

Bitcoin not outdated actually he is outdated for crypto industry. People should abandoned those kinda people who manipulate others for their own advantage. Don't listen to his word it would be his trick to fill his own bag.

It doesn't matter what does Jhon say, because he will say the opposite thing later just as he does with bitcoin. We can't trust his word. At least this is some nice marketing for cryptos, but that's all.

He is not a good reference for bitcoin or for cryptos. So, just let him talk.

LoL,John McAfee is one of the shit person in crypto.Also we can announce him as a actor ;D
He regret for his prediction in 2017, now he is talking about ETH, maybe in 2021 he will tell that BCH is the crypto.Let him make new drama.Now on one believe this liar and shit person.

i don't care when people call bitcoin outdated but it always makes me mad when they pretend the exact copy of bitcoin is different and "new technology"!!! i mean even if you want to spread bullshit at least choose a shitcoin that hasn't copied nearly everything from bitcoin.
transactions, blocks, the cryptography, proof of work, even smart contracts (scripts) are copied from bitcoin then small changes were made and some stuff were added. otherwise majority of things are the same.

the fact is that ethereum is a well know centralized shitcoin that nobody cares about. all everyone wants from it is money from its pump and dumps. and in the middle of all this, only newbies are being fooled into losing money.

John McAfee is a drug addict,who changes his opinions about everything everyday.
His opinions and predictions about bitcoin are not relevant,never were and never will be.
He just got famous in the crypto world,because of his "1M bitcoin price or I'll eat my d*ck" prediction. ;D
We shouldn't care about clown anymore.Simply ignore his interviews,social media posts and Youtube videos.
His best time as a tech guru(by creating the McAfee anti-virus) is in the past. That anti-virus program freakin' sucked.

You should look at things from a proper perspective

The fact that Ethereum has grown 2 times in the last couple months doesn't tell us anything about its past performance. But if you were to go deeper into its historical prices, you would see that before this rise, it crashed a lot more than that. Should I tell you that in January 2018 this coin reached an ATH of $1,448, and while Bitcoin is only down like 50% from its ATH of $20k at the moment, Ethereum is down more than 80%. Put differently, its price today is only one fifth of what it had been a little more than two years ago. So much for the recent 100% rise, huh

John McAfee, who is he? Has he had any contributions to develop any cryptocurrency project and the cryptocurrency industry in general? Nope.

So why do we have to care what he said, about Bitcoin, Ethereum or whatever coins?
I am sucked that whenever I see a guy talk about an altcoin project, he/she will mention about bitcoin. Our altcoin is better than bitcoin. Sucked!

Bitcoin is our King. Outdated? The bitcoin protocol has been upgraded so many times and will be upgraded more in the future.

He is wrong again, like many times, why would he make a prediction that bitcoin will reach $1 million this year if he thinks bitcoin is outdated.

https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/01/05/why-mcafee-backed-1-million-bitcoin-2020-prediction/

Do you still believe in him? he don't have a credibility since he's reputation is so shady for now for promoting various scam tokens and predicting bitcoins to go millions, and now he counter he's prediction to fud ethereum?

Better move up and un follow him in any platform since he cannot give you a clear information  since those prediction given just for his own benefits.

You still listen to that dude? I already stopped caring about what he has to say. He used to be a Bitcoin freak and kept making wild speculations, but unfortunately for him it isn’t working out as he planned so he became a full-time hater.

I saw his tweet when he said that he used the same strategy that was used to predict the bull run 2017 and he used that same strategy to make his 2018 and 2019 predictions and they were wrong so for that he made up his mind that Bitcoin is the worst cryptocurrency there is. I’m not surprised if he starts making same foolish predictions on Ethereum and ending up being disappointed as well.

If he is not well known and trustworthy enough, I wouldn't mind believing in his words. I've read much already also that proves that he is not credible enough to make a statement that would change other people's mind. Most of his predictions and manipulation didn't work out from the past so it is much expected that what he is saying right now is just a theory. If only he has made much contributions in the market and has predictions that actually occurs, then we should listen to what he is saying as it may guide us to a better investment processes.

I don't know why most of people are still believing these businessmen or capitalists, they are spreading the fake predictions in all the time just to achieve their goals or future endeavors, that's definitely a way for manipulating the community of crypto especially the beginners. In my opinion, if you want to success in this domain then you need to ignore these fake whales like, John McAfee and others like him, and just focus on yourself, you don't need any advise for the media news, they are all posting the fake information.

Dont know if there are still people who do believe into this troll.Everyword that do comes out into his mouth doesnt really give out any relevance here on crypto space.

He had already that funny reputation and majority do have negative insights towards him so its better not to take those words seriously and no matter what project he would
tend to shill out then its better to ignore it.

Seems like he do divert out communities attention just to forgot up that eating his own d*ck in national television deal?  ;D
