That forecast is likely to be given for the next 30 years maybe. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: stomachgrowls on August 06, 2020, 11:49:05 PM All of us do remember this Tweet but it seems people dont care anymore yet its impossible for him to do such thing and also
he already make up some dramas just for some diversion.What you think? https://cointelegraph.com/news/worthless-coin-mcafee-says-he-never-believed-bitcoin-would-hit-1m https://thenextweb.com/hardfork/2020/01/07/john-mcafee-reneges-on-promise-to-eat-his-dick-if-bitcoin-fails-to-hit-1m/ Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: jossiel on August 06, 2020, 11:58:05 PM Everybody remembers that forecast that he made. But we're all grown up after 3 years and understood that he has said it for attention. Probably he has sold his stash already and doesn't want to interfere anymore unlike before.
The challenge of "IF" won't be happening, he has admitted it. But let's all move forward and go to a more realistic scenario for bitcoin which is being talked lately for the price of $100k. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: LogitechMouse on August 07, 2020, 12:16:19 AM When I read this tweet, I'm still at the time when I'm learning Bitcoin and crypto in general so I didn't give any attention to the forecast he made but what made me laugh is that he will eat his dick when it will not happen.
Well he made the tweet, admitted that he is wrong and he will not do what he promised because that is pure stupidity if he will do it and take note in National Television. He is just predicting too like one of us and its just that he got over-exaggerated with his prediction. Lets just focus into when this will happen or at least when will be the ATH be reached again since that is more realistic right now. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: The Sceptical Chymist on August 07, 2020, 12:35:09 AM That forecast is likely to be given for the next 30 years maybe. My own tired, cynical opinion would probably be exactly like the above except that I betcha bitcoin will hit $500k within the next 30 years. McAfee is nutty for making a prediction and bet like this, but he's just got the time frame wrong. And honestly, I wouldn't want to see bitcoin hit a ridiculous price like $500k in just several years. Any rational investor would realize that those kinds of gains aren't sustainable.But we're all grown up after 3 years and understood that he has said it for attention. Yeah, just like all the other prominent bitcoiners with large platforms who make extreme predictions--they might believe what they're saying, but it's far more likely they're making a prediction in order to keep their name relevant. I tend to just tune out crap like this.But let's all move forward and go to a more realistic scenario for bitcoin which is being talked lately for the price of $100k. Hate to say it, but I think that price is even too high to hit unless we're talking about a ten-year time frame. Remember, the state of the economy is far from certain and it isn't looking too healthy. In order to get bitcoin up to $100k, there would have to be a ton of buying. If people are still out of work, that just isn't going to happen. But we shall see.Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: mk4 on August 07, 2020, 12:37:59 AM Though it was already obvious from the get-go, John McAfee already admitted that he did it for publicity reasons. He even called Bitcoin "ancient technology" and "worthless" lul.
No matter how much of a huge nutjob he is though, gotta admit— I think his publicity stunt worked. Though he got a lot of people talking about Bitcoin(most likely in a negative manner), any publicity is good publicity. https://i.imgur.com/nacAMpD.png https://i.imgur.com/ofNqje1.png https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1213839069681205254 https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1284670520320036864 Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: meanwords on August 07, 2020, 12:54:12 AM The good old days of McAfee. The days of shilling and promoting his own agenda. Now he is nothing more than a joke at this point to this community to be honest. He's pretty bold calling Bitcoin worthless after profiting from it.
He even said that he will do it at the end of 2020 (News here (https://cointelegraph.com/news/worthless-coin-mcafee-says-he-never-believed-bitcoin-would-hit-1m)). lol Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: mk4 on August 07, 2020, 01:31:37 AM The good old days of McAfee.

His days of shilling ain't done. He's now shilling this "ghost" thing after hopping from project to project. It's just that him shilling certain altcoins doesn't pump the prices as much compared to how it used to be like in 2018. Funnily enough, he calls his project "decentralized" but yet his name is literally in their domain and in the project name. https://i.imgur.com/9rlBz5o.png https://i.imgur.com/KR4CrJA.png Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: meanwords on August 07, 2020, 01:45:48 AM His days of shilling ain't done.

That's probably why he is calling Bitcoin worthless now to promote his new coin. I bet he's going to add more negative statement about Bitcoin while trying to glorify this "decentralized" project of his.

To bad it doesn't happens and he had to say it was only a joke, but to be honest McAffee is a joke and we all know it.

Now he is nothing more than a joke at this point to this community to be honest. He's pretty bold calling Bitcoin worthless after profiting from it. You don't take this man seriously. The man is a joke and he seems to be enjoying and living it quite well. It's either the man is YOLOing or just haven't received enough attention yet until now. Either way, the joke's on us if his childish antics would still evoke certain emotions from us. I guess he's silently laughing at people who take his statements seriously and get piqued.

We already know about his stunts. This is what McAfee wants, attention from the public and continuous discussion about his life. This is the reason why there are still some crap projects that hire his endorsement because of the popularity of him in crypto, though not in a good way actually.

And yet still many developers believe in his credibility YouEngine had him in their announcement and bounty campaign I don't know if this is negative or positive, many developers still think McAfee still some followers who believes in everything he shill, when his biggest achievement and flopped is his 1 million dollar challenge or his dick Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: piebeyb on August 07, 2020, 04:29:05 AM he retracts his words, I often see that old man making nonsense, so don't listen to him anymore, even though I've been waiting for that he eats his own cock, lol
now no one wants to listen to him, even he made a project called Ghost, I didn't touch it and wasn't interested in seeing it Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: Agios on August 07, 2020, 04:38:24 AM However, not until the end of 2020, on (30 May 2020)
McAfee said that his prediction was an absurd humor. Are you one of those who doesn't see absurd humor in it? If Bitcoin reaches US $ 1 million, then its market capitalization will be greater than the GDP of all countries in the North American region. What kind of fool could believe such nonsense? https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1266734176235126785?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1266738999202394113%7Ctwgr%3%A&refohn_url=httm.id3Fee-chain.id about-price-bitcoin-us1-million-is-humor% 2F Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: pooya87 on August 07, 2020, 04:45:05 AM the deadline has already passed and he hasn't still eaten his "deal" on national television :) in was in July and he is now hiding under a rock playing with his "deal" while rolling around in all the money he scammed newbies in 2017 when he made that statement just to gain publicity and rip newbies off.
there is a website with a countdown till the end of the year called "dickening" or something like that too that is counting the days until McAfee runs out of time to perform the "task"... McAfee said that his prediction was an absurd humor. yeah it was also very humorous when he was scamming all the newcomers in 2017 with all the obviously scam ICOs the kept shoving down their throats because he was paid to do so.Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: btc_angela on August 07, 2020, 06:03:50 AM he retracts his words, I often see that old man making nonsense, so don't listen to him anymore, even though I've been waiting for that he eats his own cock, lol now no one wants to listen to him, even he made a project called Ghost, I didn't touch it and wasn't interested in seeing it By now we already know what John McAfee is up to, I mean that is 2017, wherein the market is just on a bull run and there's a lot of irrational buyers specially on bitcoin market and then he made his prediction. And people think back then that he was the real deal. LOL. Damn, many noobs really fall for it, and then he became a so called crypto influencer, and then he said that his twitter account was hack etc. etc. But nevertheless, no one is really believing him today, probably making some decent money, but unlike 3 years ago wherein he can command 6 digits just for mentioning some shitcoins on his twitter.

However, I myself pretty sure that this will not going to happen. It took more than whales to make it happen. Maybe he was just excited with it and make high specualtions on bitcoin. This year also is the year where it made bitcoin to ATH. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: prehisto on August 07, 2020, 10:28:23 AM OMG, thats the his response and excuse ;D ;D
From a man who has made a good living from crypto , this is low. Saying that BTC is crippled. On other hand, he has not been the honest and upstandng guy ever.

For the past couple of years way back before many think the same that bitcoin will never go on what is the current stand as of today and maybe this will happen the same in future. But we never knew on when this come or it will really happen so maybe this will be a big mystery to come in future and honestly I don't believe to those people who predict some certain big price especially if it will come on McAfee's mouth since for sure he is telling a pure hypocrisy and he's reputation in terms of predicting is not good. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: aioc on August 07, 2020, 02:25:35 PM I don't believe to those people who predict some certain big price especially if it will come on McAfee's mouth since for sure he is telling a pure hypocrisy and he's reputation in terms of predicting is not good. He must holding millions worth of Bitcoin back then that is why he is predicting and shilling it to the highest possible level, who would not want Bitcoin to reach 1 million dollar but at this point in time it's not possible although we don't know what the future holds for us, maybe McAfee is right but only time can tell. Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: Twentyonepaylots on August 07, 2020, 02:47:34 PM No need to reopen this topic again, this was a history of a man who called to eat his own D to the national television, who will do that for the money? NONE. We know the agenda of this man few years ago, he is trying to spread some hype so he can get us. John McAfee is not as fool as you think guys, he's maybe a criminal at some point but I still see him as a man who made a huge contribution to the technology with his software, A man with a million dollar net worth. $500,000 is a huge estimation for the price but who knows? maybe we'll see it one day.
Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: Serious475 on August 07, 2020, 07:36:55 PM Do you all remember this tweet? New comers are really regretting because they already knew about bitcoin but they haven't believe it because they taught that the Bitcoin is just a scam and they can realise that if they hold the money from the time that the price of Bitcoin is still 2k until now, their money will be multiplied by 5 and if they invest about 10,000 it will be 50,000-60,000 right now. I am also one of those people that is regretting that it didn't believe Bitcoin and set it aside.https://i.ibb.co/2FjC01T/111112.jpg (https://ibb.co/rQZzKRV) https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/887011985732362244 https://i.ibb.co/nLCBz2D/11111.jpg (https://ibb.co/JsQq5Lz) https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/887024683379544065 http://dickening.com/ "If the price of Bitcoin has not reached One Million Dollars by December 31st, 2020, John McAfee has promised to eat his own dick on National Television."

Nothing is certain when it comes to future talks since no one can predict on whats ahead but with those numbers then its really hard to believe on but we know that Bitcoin can really surprise us but for people whom do support that hard and too optimistic then its better not to expect that much. We have seen lots of predictions over the years had passed and look at on the market now on how it did behave and most of predictions had been broken down.Market moved in sideways for too long even in past halving it didnt really give much that effect on where most anticipated. About on McAfee prediction? Definitely he wont eat his own dick. hehe Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: Mpamaegbu on August 08, 2020, 05:08:51 AM The good old days of McAfee. The days of shilling and promoting his own agenda. Now he is nothing more than a joke at this point to this community to be honest. He's pretty bold calling Bitcoin worthless after profiting from it. In rivalry, people don't play cool or by any rules. This is exactly what John McAfee is doing now and I guess it's all because of his privacy coin, GHOST. He is trying to shift people's attention away from Bitcoin to GHOST by calling the phenomenal crypto worthless. If anyone actually followed McAfee a few years ago, you would've observed his praise for Bitcoin. He was one of those reputable folks who stood for Bitcoin and hyped it even to a point a lot of those who were initially nonchalant to Bitcoin started paying attention. So, for me, I will like to take whatever he says against Bitcoin now with a pinch of salt. Nothing much to it. BTW, I wouldn't want to see his dick. It's his privacy.Title: Re: Forecast John McAfee $500,000 Post by: 0nline on September 08, 2020, 08:39:47 PM BTCBTCHis days of shilling ain't done. He's now shilling this "ghost" thing after hopping from project to project. It's just that him shilling certain altcoins doesn't pump the prices as much compared to how it used to be like in 2018.
