Well I'm not surprised though, we all know that his prediction is really out of this world. And he just did it to attract attention. So obviously, the price won't even breaks the 6 digit mark. And we know that this is not the last time that John will make such bold predictions or make preposterous in crypto sphere.

Just like the expectation of many that he'll soon back it out. He completely doesn't know what he's saying, it's all about the things that comes to his mind and show it to public to gain attention.

It will but not this time, there's a perfect time for it and it will naturally go there in the right time.

Not sure I ever really understood what was meant by "eat" but not surprising to see him pick up the rest of whatever reputation he has left on his way out the door. Imagine believing anything this guy says going forward.  I guess its like they say, "better to burn out than fade away".

When he make the prediction with the attached bet, I the forum was flooded with people creating a thread to discuss his bet thinking that he would fulfill it while some other people might even have put money in crypto thinking that the price he is wagering is too expensive for it not to be true but alas, he has gladly chickened out. Its actually not a surprise that he has now turned the joke on those who believed him initially and turning it to mean new entrants forgetting that for anyone to locate him and his interest in crypto, the person cannot be regarded to be a newbie.

Hilarious stunt though. We all know he won't do it right at the start. $1 million predicition just doesn't make sense. Even though it would be possible on a logarithmic chart, the bitcoin's price isn't exponentially steady in uptrend. And that predicition is nothing but an attention-grab hype propaganda.

He does this unbelievably early. He should have kept the suspense until next winter.
Of course, the actual move is not so much unexpected.

He is an usefull person for the crypto community and at the same time useless as well! While he is a known face among the world of cyber security and definitely an affluent person in real life, crypto community should use him as a piller of support. But at the same time, we should refrain ourselves from listening to his over-optimistic speculations!

Use his influence to an extent which doesn't harm others! But overtly believing him would definitely ruin things for us!

It is already predictable since the year when he said it. We know that bitcoin price growth has been rapid when he said this but even $100k is even considered as a dream still by that time. And him eating what he stated there is also predictable that he won't do it 100% for sure.

$1 million is way too much at this time, maybe after some decades, we can see the price will increase 10x than its current price today we still don't know until it comes through. maybe halvings after halvings the price will significantly increase maybe about 20 years from now. For now, we only need to have patience to wait for its price to increase without relying to those so-called experts.

Well i think everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion, and i think, there is no way you can let him do that anyway
besides there is no legal documents, or sign papers for everyone to do such things, i mean everyone can predict
and can bet something and backsout of it, so there's nothing bad with that but the bad sides of it , is that since
his prediction fails , so is his credibility, so those coins that he endorse or introduce can now go striaght, to trash cans
if you know what i mean

I would disagree that he is useful for crypto, there is good and bad promotion, and JM is definitely one of those bad guys who actually use BTC for their own benefit. Some might say that it's perfectly normal for him to do it, because it's all just a business, but I think he does a lot more damage with such nonsensical statements that some take quite seriously.

Several prominent forum members have even supported his idea, presenting some models that should pump BTC up to the price of $1 million in 2020. We all know that there are real possibilities for something, that there is a possibility in the domain of science fiction, and that there are also fairy tales that are mostly believed only by children.

I hope everyone has realized now that a lie is just a lie, even when it has a seemingly very sensitive bet behind it.

As expected, he is now realizing that what he said was impossible.

and he already broke the promise that he made

We may forget someday. But Twitter will always remind us that shit behaviour from McAfee.
He is claiming that bitcoin is old fashion now.
I've never seen such a man who always talking for nothing. He is constanly saying something and all of it just vain. Never listened him, never will...

john mcafee is an expert, but in my opinion he is not an expert in predicting bitcoi prices and does not have more knowledge about bitcoin so it is natural that the current price of bitcoin does not approach his estimate, maybe in the future some people no longer believe in John McAfee because they think that he is a liar who only wants to be noticed by many people.

McAfee is a paidshill.

Plain and simple. Anything comes out of his stupid mouth has zero value. None.

From the outset, I knew that his prediction was aimed at FOMO for this whole market, and it helped him to make a lot of profit when many investors believed in his prediction. And so far he has admitted it because Bitcoin is unlikely to go up to $ 1 million this year. It is best to never believe in the predictions of others, even if they are famous in this market. If you trust, you will have to cry and regret later

He's not wrong afterall. He's a crypto joker. We need such kind of people to get attention toward crypto. Though the attention might not be always healthy or fruitful.
Mcaffe is getting old and has less and less to get covered in news. That's why he goes for such absurd claims.

He just did those things to atract attention, only fools take this guy seriously, look at the posts he did last years about some random coins, and you'll see the pump and dump
So he got the attention, but the prediction was not accurate of course

It’s disappointing that he is calling Bitcoin a model T but his prediction was unrealistic and we can now see that $1M is not going to happen this year. I still think it can happen though, but it will take time.

That's exactly what I expected because the price of bitcoin won't increase by one million.

He did that just to get people attention only, i think John McAfee suddenly back outs because he realize that bitcoin will not reach 1 million price in just 1 year and maybe to hype newbies only.  

he now believes iphone is the future  :D

because bitcoin is old coin he now thinks its not the future and the future and the ones with smart contracts, distributed apps and anon. there is truth to it but these can also be built on top of BTC chain. of all people who you thought knew things, its mcafee who shamelessly spread fud and shills coin for his gain.

I know we all would love to see bitcoin at $1M, too bad it doesn't happen... But a bet is a bet and if he doesn't eat his own dick then he is just another talker, he can sit down one side to CW.

In 2014 a guy loses a bitcoin prediction bet and he eats his own hat, i will leave the video because this is a true man.

Does anybody even care what this junkie has to say?
He's even bragging now that it was all a lie and brought new users to the space. He's laughing at our faces saying he was lying in every interview for the last year.

A coke addict, a liar, a shitcoin pumper, basically a scum. It's sad that such people are the faces of cryptocurrencies.

this kind of prediction is use to take advantage of the market to create hype and sell at high price
people now realise it and i think no one will believe on him again.

His prediction is seen by everyone very seriously.However, I do not think the price will rise so quickly.Although we call Bitcoin the father of all coins, it will certainly impact the market over time.

What would someone expect? He's only trying to boost speculations based on his social media power.

No wonder he backs off like a coward as always. He sold when he wanted now he's back onto another business.
So he has to basically negate Bitcoin and soon it will be posted about another coin i am sure of it.

John McAfee has been always like that, but will you trust his words on the next tweet?

What we need to understand is that, everybody is entitled in changing his/her opinion or mind about anything if he/she feels like base on their own personal reasons.  Personally, I'm not surprised that John McAfee made that post. People like him are always interested in new technologies. He does not value the bitcoin blockchain again since there are new blockchain with better features.

John McAfee has always been making these insane predictions i believe just to kick in some FOMO but does not work anytime he makes these speculations. One thing i don't understand is why he gets all angry in his claims and starts to insult people when they don't go with his predictions. I mean we are in a decentralized world and if he really values that then i guess he should appreciate the speculations of others also.

Seriously speaking the market will bounce back, we prefer that; than the usual means of hype in the cryptocurrency market. One day, Bitcoin will make the world a better place to be as it will turn a global currency. Craig W. Is a scammer and shouldn't be taking serious when it come to cryptocurrency. No more games as usual....

Sometimes, the deceptive advertising referred to Crypto is not the best option, because it is about investment, speculation, it is money that is at stake, I think it has lost credibility, it should not do so anymore, it makes it look like a jester, because anyone that he follows his advice at the moment he fails, he will only retract, no doubt this affects his reputation. What he said about the $ 1M prediction for now is far from reality.

I am surprised that people still listen and pay attention to nonsense from such individuals. John McAfee's crypto life revolves around stupid speculation. Sometime i even feel the chap is on drugs when he's uttering such predictions.

Most of this ICO advisor crooks have been like this for a while now and they even have Zero knowledge about the Market and economics.

bitcoin does look difficult to penetrate $ 1 million, especially in one year, but anything can happen, so remembering the past, it seems impossible if bitoin can penetrate $ 10,000, considering that at that time bitcoin was only worth less than $ 1000, but the fact is bitcoin can penetrate $ 15,000 or more.

At least everyone now understands what kind of personality John really has. He is not a crypto enthusiast after-all. He did everything just to advertise himself and his intentions are very clear, he is a attention whore, Lol, just like CSW.

Nothing is to be trusted when he open his mouth because he is all bark and no bite. We should move forward, $1 million is not going to happen this year.

There is such a possibility and take advantage of the right time when bitcoin tends to go down and John Mcafee makes predictions that are not necessarily true just want to be highlighted or famous for the results of predictions about bitcoin increases.
and besides he's not a crypto fan, so it's hard to believe in his predictions.

Welcome back bullshit man always make sense with his prediction, I wanna ask for every one have believe with him prediction with bitcoin and altcoin or ICO price, how many time his prediction is true and have the same or close with his prediction price? first time when he recommended about with ETN ICO but after listing price not based on his prediction, never hear what his prediction price of bitcoin and altcoin.

I'm thinking someone stopped him to continue on this challenge may be one of his mistresses, or maybe somebody slapped him so he wakes up to the reality that his 1 million dollar challenge is not realistic on the time frame that he predicted.
Maybe Bitcoin can do it in the future but not or never on the time frame that he mentions, of course, he doesn't want to the first idiot to eat his dick because of a challenge.

my ass.
McAfee pulled this stunt by making the most exaggerated price and time-frame with the most outrageous statement only because he wanted public attention and popularity. a popularity which he used to scam a ton of new users with his altcoin pump and dumps and all the ICO advertisement which he was making on his social media that ripped people off.

I'm not surprised to John McAfee who always makes sensations, in order to attract people's attention. And I'm also willing to bet that
100% predictions will not occur. Although later this year his prediction was proven wrong, I'm also sure he won't eat his dick. People
like John McAfee I consider only as entertainment in the world of cryptocurrency, do not be too serious about responding to his words.
We better focus on our preparation for the halving bitcoin that will soon happen.

I saw a thread before that a user says that he bought bitcoin because John McAfee predicted that the bitcoin will become 1 million dollar per each.
I keep cringing if I saw the past post of John McAfee, it is not realistic and that is why I do not trust or believe him. As a trader, we should not believe to someone prediction because it can affect our future decisions.

NSFW to others  ;D
https://i.imgflip.com/3le3gz.jpg
The best illustration for him.

it is because of halving will happen this year so that the possibility of happening is very large, and certainly as said by John McAfee it will make the hype or FUD higher. but about 6 digit I'm also not sure, even to go 5 digits looks will be very difficult.

expected already lol,the man already mate tons of false prediction so having this one is part of his fame,and besides he can lose nothing without doing this because the truth is He is already a  Loser.

anyway expecting another prediction from him aside from those 2 altcoins he predicted earlier.

We all know that this statement of McAfee is just for Bitcoin publicity and it is far from truth.
He only made it to gain publicity and to promote or create FOMO for Bitcoin.
But we all know and agree that this wouldn't be his last and there would also be others who would follow this path and make some exaggerated statement just to gain popularity and promote some project.

John McAfee has lost a lot of trust from people but the predictions he made may be beyond our logic. but maybe that's the prediction he made, and we can't trust the prediction he made. I'm not sure what will really happen for his words, maybe not this year but in the next few years it might be achieved.

I already know John McAfee will back down from his predictions because it will be difficult for 1 year to touch 1 million dollars, because only a fool predicts it, even I can only predict $ 100k for next year, it also has a process starting from now not as fast as what he thinks, I'm not passionate about the advantages of prioritizing a lot of adoption also for bitcoin in the next 2 years, now it's time to see a surprise at the beginning of this year hopefully many people have fun with it, prices start to rise out of everyone's minds, cheers  ;)

The world is bigger than this forum. I think that, although his pockets quite big funds from various crypto projects, he also did a good advertising for Bitcoin and crypto.
Of course, he's a big mouth and he's bragging about everything he can (and more). Of course, we could use better people to advertise Bitcoin, but think that we are not Facebook to have advertising budget.


I don't try to defend him. I just try to be fair. I have passed over the angry-against-him part (for his shitcoins business) and now I simply find him entertaining.

Everyone is free to predict future price of bitcoin and get away when that prediction went wrong. Just spend some time here and you will find scores of such predictions. You can lose your reputation surely by doing such claims. We have Craig Wright top in list of people who create drama; McAfee is one more in that list .

We are just getting through 2020, and there's plenty of time this year for bitcoin to grow. I don't understand why he retreated and escaped from his predictions so soon. Even he can wait until December 2020 and say his predictions are ridiculous and unfounded. But anyway, he contributed a part to the FOMO market in 2017-2018. Now no one believes any of his words because he is a liar like Craig Wright

I have been waiting for this moment for McAfee to show that he has no backbone to back up his word.  All his reasoning is just an excuse.  It is clear that we must not believe any word from this guy.  He is just a paid shill nothing more.

Absolutely. Especially when you consider the fact that he's publicly being paid by multiple companies to endorse their coins or products.

And the reason why he got these sponsorships in the first place is because of these publicity stunts that he has done time and time again.

The BTC space certainly don't need more of these types of people misrepresenting the much more logical and rational user base. The claims he makes simply make bitcoin look like some sort of get rich quick scheme when this is the image that BTC's trying to get rid of for a long long time now.

On the same day apparently, some other mofo backtracked on his promise to donate crypto to FreeRoss when he lost a Bitcoin prediction bet. You know, it just confirms all I've ever thought about these crypto influencers. They're all feeding off each other's fame, and we're pouring more meat into the grinder. The irony is few of them are even real Bitcoin users I bet. Just hoarders storing their wealth in some kind of custodial service hoping to make more moneh.

We don't need more proof that these guys can't put their dicks/money where their mouths are... do we?

They are just here to gather fame and be monetized.  They really don't care about anything but their own pocket.  Those stunts had earned them millions of clicks and followers thinking that they really are something.  Yet at the end, they are just some money grabbing guy that milked lots of money out of their viewer/follower/backer.

Well, it was expected. Still, he could make it in a better way - like eating a candy shaped after his own penis.

He's just toying with us though. Ain't no one would take his claim seriously. Besides that is expected too soon to take his foolishly words back. I bet right after this when everybody is calm and seems to forget what he did, he might be going back making troll claim, so, we just hope that at least lessen his worse claim or luckily put an end to his claim.

Well played for this person. His prediction few years ago is just his way of being famous. Do you think that a person like him will truly eat his dick?? Be realistic dudes :D.

I expected this already to happen few years ago. I don't believe in his words since the start of his campaign of being famous in the crypto world. He is just one stupid shiller and he is also stupid like Faketoshi but in a different way :D. Those who believed in what he said are those stupid supporters of him.

i knew it,i think he dont like the taste of His Dick ,or maybe it is too small for him?lol

---

but at least this is the end of his career,if he did this for publicity?then i am surely he is a foolish one because this action dont bring him Popularity in good manners instead he is now a Loser trying to be a winner.

It's pretty interesting to read comments that are left on his twitter, his statement about his promise:
But also the most curious thing is that McAfee agrees that Craig Wright is the author of bitcoin's white paper but not actually satoshi, he also states that team behind btc was group of eleven people that includes Dr Adam Back, Craig Wright and others while also claiming that he knows who is satoshi and if he don't reveal himself, then McAfee will do. Would love to see Craig Wright's response on McAfee's comment.

in McAfee's words at this time there are not many people who believe because he never made a mistake that harms many people. the reference that he said also doesn't make sense because we also haven't seen any signs of bitcoin movement and at the moment his words are only made trolls for people who already know their ugliness

He manipulates the situation to make it favorable in him, he's just taking advantage of his popularity to make people trust him so he can get the benefits they wanted. He can't stand his own claim but I think he's being wise to change his perspective because he knows that it can probably ruin his reputation and dignity. He just make us realized that he's afraid on suffering the consequences of his actions and decisions.

Seriously, are there still who believe in this guy's word and take him seriously? I thought everyone already knows this guy is a joke.

One of the funny and crazy guy in the twitter, trying to make noise every time to gain popularity, he has no real one word, one of the person that we should not really trust at all. He even confident telling everyone about that and now he's making a noise again backing out with his prediction, so funny man!

Most crazy boy on twitter always make sense whit his mouth, every time when he made prediction with bitcoin and altcoin price looks crazy because he gives not realistic price whit bitcoin and altcoin prediction price, but why many people still trust whit him what going on and why he looks popular whit bullshit word by his mouth,

Actually I am surprised that so many people took him seriously. John McAfee is like a cheap street hooker, who would flash her private parts to attract clients. Let's not forget the fact that this is the same guy who promoted scam ICOs, fully knowing the details about them. Users who trusted him lost huge amounts of money when these projects died out. I just hope that the authorities will be successful in detaining him and he will spend the rest of his miserable life in some dingy prison cell.

2020 has already begun and people increasingly began to recall McAfee’s forecast for a million-dollar bitcoin price and, most importantly, his promise if his forecast does not come true. In order not to be a laughing stock for the whole world at the end of this year, McAfee decided to remove in advance the possibility of people's fantasies how he would fulfill the promise on the air. The main thing is that McAfee has achieved his goal, about his forecast and especially about his subsequent actions, if the forecast does not come true, the whole cryptocurrency world has started talking. Well, that was fun.

This guy just back out after he realized that it is impossible to happen. What a fraud person since from the start, anyway, it is expected already that he wouldn't shame himself in front of the public. lol

The guy is just like CW wanting some attention making some shit prediction thinking they would gain the fame they want. Well, they just did but it is not right. :-\

Sadly i wish he would have eaten his own genitalia as he said he would

but he still says he's got the pawer to predict an lot of what he said was true

His prediction on Bitcoin hiting the six digit figure to me was something that would never happen in the near future. Just as he stated it was a move to hype bitcoin to newbies and onboard a whole lots of new folks to cryptocurrencies and its underlying blocking tech. It was expected for mcaffe to go back to its words

John McAfee makes the whole space gasping for something to expect next because of his exponential price prediction. His predictions are just more of the future than the main time. I majorly love his entertainment but people who take him serious will have themselves to blame.

Yeah, exactly.
It's what he did during the bull run when he was tweeting altcoins as part of his pump and dump promotion which was effective for those altcoins that wanted to gain attention from the traders and investors. But with his prediction about bitcoin, I think he's carried away because we're all seeing a bull run.

I'm feeling a lot better that this clown will stop promoting Bitcoin.

He wasn't doing any good and was basically profiting by promoting all the altcoins with his pump and dump tweets.. I remember in 2017 when everyone was waiting for the next coin he would pump and we were rushing in Bittrex and Binance to buy and dump at "take profit" price after one minute from his tweet.

Hillarious moments.

Lmao, this was so obvious and hilarious. Not sure if he is actually saying the truth. But, I highly doubt he pulled out this stunt in order to bring more people on board and make them use crypto currencies. He just realized that his prediction was actually totally wrong and has predicted the price to go too high which won't happen. Remember how he started to boast back in 2017 when the price reached a new all time high?

He should not be used as a pillar of support. Wasn't pumping and dumping coins, in a sense taking money away from people by annoying a coin of the week, driving up the price, and cash out? Should not be associated with Cryptos at all.

When got caught by his own words he's trying to misled people as if he did that for the sole purpose of attracting new users but none of people more specifically new users that don't know about anything in crypto will get attracted to crypto just because someone unreliable and liar is going to eat his dick (which is not gonna happen ofcourse). Classic mcafee with his lies.

People should learn that those "famous" people in crypto are not reliable ones.
Better follow your own instincts because most of the time, they are saying crap statements.
They don't care what it will bring to other users, because if you lose, it is your responsibility.
Maybe he has carved his name in the internet, but, he is the same as others, just ordinary crypto user that doesn't know where crypto is heading.

Doesn't matter anymore either way. He got the attention that he wanted from the start of his tweet until the end of the tweet. People kept talking about him until this day and with that, he had gotten more attention than he should have. With that tweet of him backing out of this absurd claim, the media will talk about him again and he can just shake it off while still getting the attention that he wanted.

Predictably, scammers always retract themselves trying to act like they're always right. I hope his reputation sinks and no one else pays attention to him again.

Yeah I guess it is the end of his career as influencer.  Though Mcafee provides us lots of entertainment during his shilling moments, I am sorry to those who fell to his tricks because lots of investors lost money following his advice.

I do not believe every word of this old man from the past even about the crypto that he promoted, finally I saw him come out of that crazy prediction, logically people in their right mind of 1 million dollars is difficult to achieve in a short time until the end of this year, even though I wait for him to keep his promise to eat his penis on national TV it will be the most interesting spectacle in history

Ever since he is really a man of dignity, he was the Mr. Bean of crypto space as he loves joking around thinking that he can manipulate and thinking that we can trust his words and his useless insightful. Anyway, let's just let him rant and make noise in social media, sometimes we also need to laugh to some useless words he's saying, so that it can lessen our stress. 

yes I also think of him as entertainment, but sadly many people believe in his predictions and analysis so that many fall and lose money maybe, if you look at his experience, we know he is not a trading expert for bitcoin price analysis but he dares to issue predictions with the bet that he himself pulled out now, that's funny

At the historic rate of inflation, it would take over a hundred years for the price of a loaf of bread to go over one million dollars. But it appears that the last decade or so has dwarfed previous issuance rates, pushing that inevitability quite a bit forward. The interesting question is not whether a bitcoin will be worth a million dollars, which has a definitive yes. The interesting question is when, 2030 or 2140?

I'm a little surprised why there are still many people who believe the words of John McAfee, if we follow all the predictions that
have been made almost all failed. So if now he wants to predict the price of bitcoin could reach $ 1 million by the end of this year,
that's for sure nothing will happen. Indeed it is not wrong John McAfee was nicknamed clown by some cryptocurrency communities,
because that came out of his mouth just a joke.

lol . how can you say  ? just because the price were now rising does that mean that johns prediction can now occur  ?  many times we see the price dump and rise but not to the point of crossing 10k usd  .  let say even the price cross 10k usd this year and itll rise more , the realistic price of btc would only be at 18k to 20k usd  .  achieving higher than this may not be easy anymore and will require more support from the people or from countrys and governments to adopt btc  . still itll take many times to see another highs again  .

I think everyone would love to see a $1,000,000 bitcoin price in hopes of remaining optimistic, but at this time it seems like an impossible feat. Bitcoin has seem to have stagnated and has plateaued around $7500 or so. I don't know if we are in a bull or bear market any more, but i hope for the year of 2020 we have some clearer oversight as far as regulation is concerned. It is good to have big supporters like McAfee it shows that the space isn't limited to just members of the community but big name celebrities as well.

Now he made himself a good comic.  ;D
I thought he was that guy which should be respected but here goes the true nature of him.
He did made me laugh though.
He may really have a talent making people laugh. He should change his career now.  ;D

People just badly wanted to believe the $1 million price thing. Couple that with the fact that back in the 90's before his brain got fried, he was good at tech and launched a successful antivirus checker, people talked themselves into believing he had some sort of insight into bitcoin.

No surprise here, but sincerely taking into account McAfee's reckless behaviour I wouldn't have been surprised even if he did respect his statement.

$1M has been a too high mark in such a short time. But don't forget that everything is possible in the cryptosphere.

It is only people that new in crypto that pay attention to people like McAfee. I have lost regard in him ever since I saw that some project that turn out to be scam are using him to gain popularity. He is just one of those guys that are make furtune for himself that driving and making so many project dev get some investors during those period when people are always eager to look for direction for coin to invest in. Now that the bubble has bursted, he is giving prediction to gather much more needed attention.

He has millions following his social media channels. Even if 1% of that number believes him, it is a huge amount. John McAfee was an industry giant, until a few years back. He built quite a reputation for himself. But now he is making a living out of his past reputation. And I don't think that this is going to continue for ever. At some point, there is going to be a backlash.

Some time we need people reached million follower with their social media account, where 5% from his follower trust whit his prediction we can get much profit with bitcoin and altcoin price prediction although he always give not correct information about bitcoin and altcoin price, but he made many wrong prediction about bitcoin and I worry which person trust with his prediction.

Lol. We already discussed him plenty right here how he is just looking for attention by making outrageous claims.

If NOTHING happens with the USD, logically the price of Bitcoin will tend to go up but less and less pronounced overtime (never stable, never pegged). The USD is simply forced into 2% inflation like any other country the follows the school of Chicago dogmas, while Bitcoin isn't.

So while its technically possible that, maybe it could reach such price at some point, its taking longer and longer to do.

Oh, this is one of the attention seekers in the community, he's back again to spit non-sense prediction. Probably, they should be out of here, they didn't really do any good predictions on BTC price.

1M$, seriously? ATH of bitcoin was around 19k$, how is that possible. It's not wrong to be positive on BTC's price this year 2020 but it should be based on good analysis.

Its sad when we see people like John McAfee do such cheap tactics to get attention. He is well known person and is already getting attention for what he says. Predicting 1 Million $ for a thing whose future is still not clear and is getting rejection from government quarters is not a sane thing.

the fact that he endorsed many of shitcoins out there should tell you enough that he's just doing something for his own gain. he's not that kind of guy whose words can be taken seriously. the fact that he's backing out of his own prediction is what makes him unreliable in the eyes of many people who still have a normal brain. really, people should stop taking his word seriously or making him viral.

Those who try to be super cool ends up like that. Being owner of McAfee I thought he is a sensible guy but he proved to be another Craig Wright. He must give some fine of this false prediction, so that we may get rid of this price prediction mania.

I think he just wanted to sound really controversial to get attention, and yeah, he did!

That $1m dollar prediction from MCAfee brought attention to the community truely.

It's more sad to see people here take him serious. McAfee has been a scammer and a compulsive liar for a long time. What else can you expect from him? You can't expect from a scammer and a liar to not scam and lie. It's the nature of the beast. He is on the run for the authorities too because he has done a lot of shady shit outside the crypto sphere as well that raises many eyebrows.

In the end, this type of behavior is common amongst those who got rekt. At the beginning they own a lot of Bitcoin, then lose it through leverage trading and all their are left with are their altcoin bags. Similar thing happened to Richard Heart recently. They shill that what they own the most of, and the coin (Bitcoin in this case) they had plenty of but lost, is going to be trashed whenever they see an opportunity.

I can't wait for another crappy ICO with an even crappier name to emerge and pay McAfee to have a tattoo of their logo on his body. Would be perfect.

@btc_angela why am I not surprised that Mcafee is finally backing down now, though I was expecting him to back out of his bitcoin price prediction last year only. @chaoscoinz this year I’m anticipating a major bull rally because of the halving event, but if the halving event doesn’t live up to it’s expectations then bitcoins prices shall remain range bound between $6500 - $8000.
