[2019-02-23] John McAfee Affirms One Bitcoin Will Equal a Million Dollars Before

[1Referee]

I really can't understand why this person still makes such statements.

Publicity. In the end, I strongly believe that he doesn't even care about his predictions, and he may not even care about Bitcoin at all. Just think about it, what happens when his $1 million prediction fails? People don't take it seriously anyway, so he's not going to lose anything. If news outlets ask him why it didn't work out the way he thought it would, he just blames the unpredictable nature of this market. You're either right or wrong at the end of the day.

I'm certain that his public circus show is meant to up himself as brand and from there become an interesting billboard for scams, because they can afford to pay his ridiculous asking prices.

I really can't understand why this person still makes such statements. He has declared that his coin Apollo is going to surpass the Top10 cryptocurrencies and substitute them. If Bitcoin raises in so much value then this is not going to happen. I wonder why he is lying so much and what are his incentives of doing so.

Every single prediction he's made about a coin has turned out to be very, very wrong. Heres one of his more recent shills:

“I got a Skycoin tattoo today. My tech folks will stitch a two minute video together that should capture the essence of the experience. For now, this short clip should summarize. Why Skycoin? If you have to ask, you’ve been living in a fucking closet.” - Nov 7th, 2018

Of course he'll be wrong about bitcoin.

He'll probably lose some more pride, if he has some left, especially because he's been so obnoxious with his prediction (the whole d*ck situation) but other than that I feel like you are completely right in the end nobody really cares. It's been a while since I've heard from him in the media so he probably needs people to give some attention to his most recent shills.

At the end of the day he's a fraud and publicly sells out and somehow there are people dumb enough to fall for his shit, nothing new here.

Here's one more gem, one of his earlier shills:

Safe Exchange Coin (SAFEX)

"Disclaimer: SAFEX is the majority of my holdings. I ran numbers for weeks before I chose it - knowing it had technical problems and that it would be delisted from most exchanges. But I have, to my knowledge, never lost money on an investment."

"I have no interest in dumping. SAFEX is a serious long term play."

Guess he's lost money on an investment by now.

He'll probably lose some more pride, if he has some left, especially because he's been so obnoxious with his prediction (the whole d*ck situation) but other than that I feel like you are completely right in the end nobody really cares.

Unfortunately he's neurobiologically incapable of feeling remorse. One of the benefits of being a narcissitic sociopath.
