Title: The next action of Old man McAfee
Post by: ashmodeus on January 29, 2020, 04:58:14 PM
Well , i think all of you maybe already heard about McAfee prediction of bitcoin price, and well,it make a huge attention,also some newcomers come to this forum and asked about it,on last year btw.
but today, I heard the news about that old man, and it seemed like a rebuttal to his predictions a few years ago.
According to his tweet (https://twitter.com/officialmcafee/status/1222389224902668288) , he just say Bitcoin is no more than shitcoin. Its a kinda funny actually , it seems he try to avoid about betting the price with his dikk.
Or for another reason probably he need more job like zombie coin from china a year ago, and he make a new attention ;D .

Funny how he and a few other people(a.k.a. Twitter XRP bots and ETH supremacists) call bitcoin "outdated" and "the hotmail of crypto"(from one of the Tweet's replies), but yet not one other cryptocurrency has come close to what Bitcoin is today and what it has achieved. I don't get how they could call something that people widely use "outdated", even though it doesn't even a better alternative. Not even close.

A couple of weeks ago there've been already some articles and at least one thread on Bitcointalk about his change of heart. It was about another tweet where he says that his price prediction was a ruse or something (see here (https://www.newsbtc.com/2020/01/05/why-mcafee-backed-1-million-bitcoin-2020-prediction/), for example). In that tweet, he already called Bitcoin 'ancient' and praised blockchain and smart contracts in opposition to it. Oh, and in this newer tweet, he's basically expressing the same crazy 'Altcoin superiority' idea. I think that this 'prediction' is just as crazy as BTC going to cost $1million by the end of the year, to be honest.

This dude has never got my attention he is always looking like a pendulum in every decision he makes. He says this today and says the exact opposite. i am sure it's just a shill to cause people to sell whiles he accumulates much into his holdings. I don't know why some crypto projects actually get him on board as an advisor because he has developed a bad reputation in this industry and that is surely going to go against any marketing.

Because though he is really a heavily controversial person, his name still has some weight in it for being the founder of the famous but crappy McAfee Antivirus. Especially in 2017, having his name on a certain project's team page gives the illusion that that certain project is legitimate/relevant. Fortunately, for all the stupid things he's said(especially the tweet in question), he's slowly but surely losing relevancy and reputation even in the cryptocurrency markets.



EDIT: So it seems like on the 2 projects he heavily shilled(Skycoin and Apollo) and whereas he's supposed to be a team member, apparently his name is no longer on the team pages. Freakin LOL. Shilling failed.

Those who have expected something better from him, I guess he failed you guys. He didn't maintain the 'reputation' that he has although he has done things before such as shilling and betting with d*** for the price of bitcoin. He's all in for the attention now and I think there's no more left from him.
There's nothing to expect with him even since he had shilled altcoins on his twitter account and many were encouraged and believed for the meanwhile with his predictions but suddenly when we're starting to realize how huge was that price, we're all enlightened.

It was actually a diversion so that he wont eat up his own d*ck on national television yet his predication it didnt turn out well for him and now he makes a u-turn and saying Bitcoin is a shitcoin.

C'mon old man, this wont work out and no matter what words would come out into your mouth would be already a complete joke for the entire community but of course there are fools
who would really still believe to this crap.

Just wondering on which coin would he recommend next.?

McAfee is a wild bitcoin crusader and it is expected to see some extremist in every movement. Sadly he had been responsible for some scam and fraud in this space. He had always predicted outrageous price and I believe he pays the media to post the predictions. As an old man he does it without concern on his dignity and I think most long time bitcoiners dont consider any of his predictions. Any coin or project that got mcafee on his team just lost the crypto community trust.

I don't want to listen to John all the time but it seems like he and Roger have something to convey to all of us. Thus, I somehow agree with the idea of bitcoin not becoming the king in a few years. The users need not just storage of value but also fast transactions and low fees. BCH would be a great alternative. Please don't hate it.

This man has become a joke or is just trolling us lol. This is old new by the way. He knew he made wrong prediction and is now showing excuses. If i recall correctly, he probably said that he made this prediction just to create a hype and see how people reacts or something like this. This is really sad that he is calling bitcoin a shitcoin. I wouldn't be surprised to see him making his own crypto currency.

Everyone knows about the behavior of John McAfee, so now by creating a new sensation by saying that bitcoin is the true shitcoin.
It is not strange to me, this is indeed the character of John McAfee we do not need to worry about this. We should feel sorry for
he, maybe he said that because of the stress of his price predictions that bitcoin later this year would reach $ 1Million is impossible
achieved. Just think of John McAfee's words as mere entertainment, don't be taken seriously.

I don't know what these jokers in the crypto world are doing or even their purpose so that we have to keep bringing up their names though it is already has a bad reputation in the crypto world. Maybe we really just need them, not as a Bitcoin advisor or something but rather like a clown in the cryptoverse.

Or they will just serve as promoters of crypto.
Good or bad publicity is still publicity.
Even if they are saying negative towards crypto, at least they will attract attention from the public.
And the public has the responsibility to assess if those statements are true or not.
In that way, he is still driving regular people to search about it and learn more about crypto.

It's a wrong time time for John to change his mind about Bitcoin just when Bitcoin price is moving forward, he just want to save his face by turning around, he has so much believe on Bitcoin back then.now he is calling it a shitcoin because he is promoting other coin, he just ruin his credibility if there is still left by this action.

LOL, How the hell he can call Bitcoin outdated when he himself promoted it for sometime even shilling for it to reach $1 million. But then again, this kind of personality is what makes them eccentric, suddenly changing stance because they know it won't benefit them at all.

So be it, he has no reputation to begin with, so I don't understand why we still need to talk about him. He can tweet whatever he wants, and Bitcoin enthusiast doesn't give a f**k.

haha, he is trying to re-start his shitcoin pumping campaigns on twitter again because he saw that bitcoin price is starting to enter the big bull market this year and he expects that he can make the same profit from newbies as he did back in 2017 by scamming them the same way that is telling them some shitcoin(s) are good investments then dumping on their heads.

Mr McAfee  ::)  always have some hidden agenda. He will do anything for some extra money and some more attention and this is just one of his latest antics to get that. Saying something controversial will once again put the spotlight on him and that keeps him relevant on social media.

He needs to stay in the public eye, because he presumably charge people to promote their sh1tcoins/tokens on his social media accounts. So it will make sense for him to bash Bitcoin, in the hope that people might buy the other sh1tcoins that he is promoting.  ::)

One day you are willing to place your manhood on the line for Bitcoin and the next moment you call it a Sh1tcoin? Do you also smell something suspicious here?

really strange, on one hand users say rubbish about him and on other hand they follow him and retweet his tweets, why can't you just unfollow him and stop replying to his tweets. The more you people entertain him the more he will say such things and it goes on., once he realize that no one is noticing him only then he will understand what he is actually doing.

there are two types of people who follow him.
the newbies who have been fooled by him and think he is some sort of expert that knows a lot about cryptocurrency market and eventually end up losing a ton of money (like all those in 2017) and go away.
the other scammers who want to spread his nonsense and make profit from his scams (ie. altcoin pumps and ICO scams) by increasing his number of victims.

the reason that came close to why he said that was because of the reason he used it. however, we do not know what caused him to think that way, but I assume that the price for the beginning of this year did not match his estimates. however, the speculation is currently very difficult to achieve.

He might be creating his own shitty "McAffeecoin".That's why he is hating on BTC.

How unfortunate for him for thinking that believing in him would be that so easy. We are not kids who are believing in someone's tale anymore. Anyway, if I were you stop wasting time with his drama. Just continue your usual business, let's grind until btc reaches its new ATH so that McAfee will live on shame ;D.

He has been jumping from project to project(and shilling them at the same time) between 2017-2018 that him becoming a sort of "team leader/member" of whatever project wouldn't really surprise me anymore.

For a guy that's pretty much on-the-run 24/7, I think this guy is probably running out of funds hence the desperation shilling.

for some reason , i guess that true. i mean ok BTC is old , slow transaction,high fees,bored,etc. but somehow people know well how the old thing will more valuable rather than newcomers, i mean just look at btc liquidity,holders,fluctuaction,resistance,it cant be compared with any coin. it's still freedom at all.
and for stupid reason, how something like smart contract come to this world if BTC not have a value since beginning ?

but one thing will remain,and that is now we had proven that he has nothing to help in this community but lies ?and he dont deserve any respect for His word eating by His own words.i don't know what can His grand children says if they found out whats their grandfathers doing here in crypto.

for some reason , i guess that true. i mean ok BTC is old , slow transaction,high fees,bored,etc.

What's funny is that, for more than a year, I barely made a transaction that was actually slow and expensive; besides those transactions that I purposely increase the fees for the transaction to be confirmed ASAP. The "bitcoin is slow and expensive" argument is purely bullcrap and is mostly argued by people who really obviously don't really even use bitcoin. Basically what they knew about bitcoin was stuck in 2017. Because if they were actually using bitcoin, they would easily know that this isn't really the case today due to the increased(and still increasing) SegWit adoption; and soon, Lightning.

John McAfee wouldn't be voted for "Crypto Influencer of the Year" for nothing,  ;D.

He really needs to be active in crypto sphere and tweets controversial statement so that his name will always be in the discussions here. So I'm not surprised and I'm still waiting for something new coming from his mouth actually and just laugh it off. And remember that he is a paid shill and had made tons of money, commanding $100k if I'm not mistaken.

Is this true? >:(

He shilled so many ICO and even altcoins to newbie in the cryptospace for over a year so most of those who voted for him to get this title doesnt know those same altcoins were pump and dumps and all those ICOs were prosecuted under the laws of SEC in the states finding them all to be securities.
Which can not be publicly traded. All those who bought from those ICOs were left with nothing they could of claimed in the end. :-\

Post by: thesmallgod on January 31, 2020, 12:19:16 AM
Most of his followers are newbie who just want to hear a piece of quick information about a possible pump and dump coin. This is because of the major prediction he had made earlier that came to pass so some crypto traders take him as a major influencer. Back then, soo many ICO even use him as part of their strategy to sell token by telling investors that their project is back by John mcafee. So everything has passed now and the man to me is looking frustrated because he does not make money like ever before again. It is a new world entirely not only for him but also for all crypto enthusiast and he is gradually becoming a joke that no one should take serious.

It's not doing him any good turning around against Bitcoin, I don't know his reason, this is a surprising move for the old guy a guy can only say that if he losses all his faith to Bitcoin, this is the wrong time to lose faith on Bitcoin, just as halving is fast approaching and Bitcoin price is improving, I wonder what will happen to the guy if Bitcoin continue to climb to $25000 this year.

To be honest, I have started to get bored with the news related to John McAfee, because whatever the actions taken there is no positive
effect for the advancement of the cryptocurrency world. Even though he said bitcoin is shitcoin, it did not make bitcoin a popularity fall
as well. What I'm more worried about is a newbie, because someone like John McAfee is a bad influence for a newbie.Many newbie who
believes his words because he is indeed a legend in the world of antivirus. But in reality there is no connection the world of anti-virus
and crypto world. Hopefully not many newbies will fall victim because of his words.

in the past, ico said he seemed to be a great influence to determine the steps of each bitcoiner, but over time it was inconsistent and made what he said no longer pay attention to by bitcoiners, this happened because of his own doing, or maybe he had other plans by giving negative news

But when it comes to crypto, his statements are becoming sloppy and it lessens his credibility in the IT industry. But maybe, he has nothing to do with his life anymore. So he doesn't care anymore what other people will think of him because he is past that stage of being careful.

almost as bad as CW. yet this guy has lots of followers, i never considered him a good source of information on crypto

Rightfully so. He never was a good source of information or anything really to start with. He's really just a hype machine that accepts money from projects to pump up the prices of their coins/tokens.

Though McAfee is bad, I wouldn't say "as bad as CW" though. Faketoshi is just in some other level of bad.

Maybe we should stop using his name here.
That will calm everything.
The guy is being more hyped by now in social media and twitter specially and I am starting to be stressed with it.
Why should he be on the spotlight just because of what he said.

Why do people even entertain this kind of guy which doesn't even help the economy of crypto?
Shouldn't we just ignore him?
