John McAfee backs out of his $1 million bitcoin prediction

[andycarrol]

So obviously, the price won't even breaks the 6 digit mark.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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 .

[killerfrost]

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.

[alexsandria]

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.

[LogitechMouse]

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 .

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 . Those who believed in what he said are those stupid supporters of him.

[Reatim]

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.

[shield132]

It's pretty interesting to read comments that are left on his twitter, his statement about his promise:

Wake the fuck up. What idiot thinks anyone is going to eat their own dick ever? Especially in TV!! Are you that idiot?  God ..  I hope none of my followers are that stupid.

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.

[bamboylee]

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.
