What Mcafee was really saying and how nuts is he?

[chesthing]

This article says Mcafee was saying bch would be half a million each in 2 years, and that btc would be around $2400. If true, I nominate Mcafee for the biggest nutball in history (no, not just crypto history)

Wait bitcoincash? I highly doubt bitcoincash will be around (or taken seriously) in 3 months let alone 3 years. I'm surprised it's lasted this long actually. Did no one see the fact that 97% of the hashing power was made up by... Bitmain obviously although they aren't putting their name on it.

Unless three or four other huge mining operations start mining this is a centralized shitcoin.

what the hell are you talking about ?
this topic clearly talked about John McAfee who's said Bitcoin will reach $500.000 dollars in mere 3 years,
and you said Bitcoin cash ?
i can not see anything about Bitcoin Cash in this topic ? or i missed something in here ?
seriously,you have a problem

it's an old news right?
as far as i know he said it before split,around july if i remember it correctly,
and yeah he's nuts,and he will eat his d*** live,
i am totally speechless about his action,

[chesthing]

READ THE FUCKING ARTICLE
It says Mcafee was talking about the forked bch being worth $500k, not btc let me know your thoughts
AFTER YOU READ THE ARTICLE

[dalexc]

That article does not seem to be clear. Every other article states that he said 1 btc will equal 500k. Either way, who cares?

Who cares - arfkm?
Either this article is totally full of shit or Mcafee is betting on bitcoin cash. I'd like this cleared up, anyone?

[DaMut]

it's very obvious,he said Bitcoin will hit $500.000 in the next 3 years not Bitcoin Cash,
He said this when they want to know about their option :
“Jihan and thousands of others. THE Bitcoin. Please… count the f**king votes!!”

he want to know,what will they choose,not said he's supporting it.

Read more, troll less. Do I really need to say more than that? Read the quotes of what he's saying. He's not calling bitcoin "THE bitcoin". Got it now? Read the article.

you don't need to read a random article on an unknown website to know the truth!
go find the source where Mcafee said that. if i am not mistaken it was his twitter where he made a new tweet saying "bitcoin will reach $50K" and then people went nuts and he said "i will give myself a BJ on national TV if it didn't"
and by the time he said it, BCH was not even a thing.

[fabiorem]

It is possible that in the future BTC will be the coin used for everyday transactions (with lighting network, satellites, etc), whereas BCH will be a reserve coin, used for stock markets and big money deals (banks, corporations, cartels, etc). BCH is centralized, Jihan controls it, and it looks similar to ETH which is controlled by Vitalik and is also backed by big corporations, oil trustees, etc, so it looks like it can gain support from such sectors.

Was this when he said he will eat his penis on national TV if it does not happen? This is old news and before the BitcoinCash fork. He was clearly talking about Bitcoin during that time and it would be crazy to think that BitcoinCash will reach $500,000 in 3 years because it does not have the same merchant acceptance and dark market acceptance like BTC has.

The hash power of Bitcoin also has not decreased even though it is more profitable to mine on BitcoinCash.

[krizniq]

Good old propaganda everywhere... And you guys believes in "news" written on some webpage like small child

[superplus]

i searching on google with this keyword "mcafee Bitcoincash" didn't find that mcafee said that Bitcoincash would be half a million each in 2 years, and that btc would be around $2400.

That is, as a respondent puts it, McAfee’s initial $500,000 prediction was not for Bitcoin but “a new altcoin that you and Jihan will mine?” to which he responded

okay now i get it, you mean new altcoin that mined by Jihan and mcafee is Bitcoincash right?

[gentlemand]

He clearly came out in favour of BCH a while back so I assume any subsequent comments about 'Bitcoin' regard that.

https://cointelegraph.com/news/mcafee-stakes-his-name-10-mln-on-bitcoin-split

'However, the security expert later clarified in a series of tweets after much questioning that he was referring to the proposed fork of the top digital currency by a group seen to be championed by Jihan Wu.

Which makes the $500,000 prediction even more ludicrous than before.

Yeah, right? this is the only article I ran across that made this clear, all others just make the assumption he was talking about btc.
I wonder if Mcafee is casholder, or kwukduck, or both?

[CryptoBry]

Oh, I am always laughing at people who have the tendency to make a good publicity out of nothing but just their names and their tweeted words. Now, who cares about people like this? Is he an expert on Bitcoin that we should be listening to any words he has to say on Twitter? Let the man speak his mind to any medium he wanted to use. We don't have to give him that much attention.

[buwaytress]

First of all, McAfee's known for his outbursts, no different from the company he keeps. If you're taken aback by stuff like this, you soon will get used to it. Secondly, he's just too easy a target for this to stand out. Kinda like Trump, you could spend all day picking at his tweets, verbal diarrhoea and rants on social media but even they know they don't always mean what they say. It's like those daily shows or comedy skits rehashing Trump to death. Might have been a bit of good fun for a while, but it gets old real quick. Enjoy the ride, if you like side entertainment. Or change your news sources, if you're outraged.

So it was the respondent who was trying to twist what really happened and he is now trying to use John McAfee's words about Bitcoin going to $500,000 and he is now trying to make everyone think McAfee really BitcoinCash.

But if McAfee really meant BitcoinCash then he will surely eat his penis in 5 years.

[JL421]

Why does it even matter who the heck is mcaffe a owner of a business which has no connection with bitcoin in past and doesn't seem any possibilities in future also he is just a greedy investors who his taking advantage of his knowness and spreading shit around let him say whatever he wants

[neinnein125]

I read his original tweet when bitcoin cash wasn't even released. He said bitcoin is going to be $500k. Bitcoin cash wasn't even a thing. You can ask him over twitter btw, he may or may not reply. Mcafee is active on twitter.
