If bitcoin doesn't reach $500K in 3 years....

[sakurro]

McAffee just claims these things to boost his own crypto portfolio, I guess.
He's making sky-high predictions every month. Just don't take him seriously.

And don't invest based on his advice (as you could now see).

[yazher]

This was just for hype and thanks for him no influencer would ever say this kind of promise again. If they don't want to eat their words. The Crypto market is unpredictable no one would ever know when will it to rise or to fall. sometimes it took only one good news for the market to move and some rare occasion, without any news the price will rise without anyone knows the reason for it. There is only one thing we should know about this crypto market and that is its volatility which not even the d*ck head guy can ever predict what's gonna happen.

[YOSHIE]

We know that he backtracked but I just want to remind everyone that even crypto personalities can't predict the market and they get it wrong most of the time. Do not fall for their "expert" opinions. Some of them are paid reviews/opinions anyway.

Even though @McAfee says that, crypto fans should judge the information and predictions disseminated via Twitter must be thoroughly digested and combined with other predictions that can be trusted, which is true and false.

I think it's still too early to consider predicting the price of Bitcoin to $ 500k. Sounds ridiculous.

If seen from current market developments, BTC is currently only worth trading in the short term, if it is seen Bulls are still in control of BTC trading at this time.

Even so I'm sure the world will see once again, Bitcoin will "break" the five-digit price figure, but the time is uncertain, just wait for the time.

According to the last news, He said I never promised such thing and Bitcoin worth 0. He also said that I wanted to have an excuse for eating one of my body parts on the national television, no joking
If you think deeply about him you will understand he want always supporting bitcoin but recently, he said such thing maybe because he just wanted to bring some sort of FUD and make some people sell the bitcoins and lower the price so he can buy more bitcoins for lower price. The old trick they usually do, kinda abusing social media for the price manipulation.

[Shasha80]

Indeed, from the start I never took seriously any predictions from John McAfee, so even though his predictions were wrong it didn't
matter to me. Moreover, Bitcoin can reach the price of $ 500k and it takes longer than we imagined, my prediction in about 10 years
may can be achieved.But no one can predict Bitcoin accurately, we just focus on collecting as much Bitcoin as we can. So if indeed
Bitcoin is can finally reach the price of $ 500k we can become rich people.

Hoping that it is not a hoax.

Let me help you with waiting. There is even a countdown page created for this event http://dickening.com/
But this challenge and topic is a bit misleading, because in November McAffee changes his price prediction to $1,000,000.

Anyway, McAffee is not a man of his words, because in December 2018, he wrote that he plans to "subcontract the task".

^ I'd forgotten about this self-imposed challenge 

We know that he backtracked but I just want to remind everyone that even crypto personalities can't predict the market and they get it wrong most of the time. Do not fall for their "expert" opinions. Some of them are paid reviews/opinions anyway.

I almost  forgot this  Joke until i read this thread lol.

John McAfee already broke this promise and detracted His  word to eat his private part if Bitcoin did not reach half a Million price .

Maybe he was Drunk when he posted this  in social media 


This now serves Him to never commit for things specially with cryptocurrency prices prediction because no one
can assume until it happens.


Hope he Learn His lesson and be truthful in the next social media press release.

HAHA . Didn't expect to see that coming. That's a hell of a lot concept when it comes to giving a name about a person who just spreads false information about crypto.

[1] McAfee backs down from wild Bitcoin $1 million price prediction

[shoreno]

within three years it means 2020 is still covered in his prediction and 2020 isnt over yet.  dont judge the guy too early , what if price jumps this year ? mcafee is going to be the one that will laugh on us and we are the ones that will eat  our junk .

 if ever btc fail to increase that much , id still forgive him due to the corona issue that strike this year because if not corona the price could succesfully pump now .

Well, looking upon the market graph and the possible events that happen this 2020, it is quite impossible for bitcoin to reach 500k dollars as it is too high. Thus, to conclude, bitcoin cannot achieve the prediction this 2020, that doesn't stop us to hope and expect good market price in the future years, but make sure that we aren't just waiting because the key to achieve these prices will be upon us, as the demand is always the reason why certain asset increases its price.

[jrrsparkles]

Did he replied anything about this failed prediction after three years?

Expert predictions are jut fake promises so never trust anyone's words because everyone is looking to get their own benefits from the crypto market.

It is really impossible and what he said and promise is a lie, he justified that he will not suck his d*ck if the price did not reached $500K per each, his reason that it is just a metaphor after all. We should no believe on someone prediction if their prediction is too high where it can considered as impossible. There are people who say that anything can happen to price but still we should always managed our expectation in order to be prepare on what will happen in present time.

By now, I hope users already see that McAfee is not a reputable personality in crypto, at all angles. I think I even promoted one of the projects here endorsed by McAfee. I had high regards on him but came to learn that he had so many stunts in crypto just to get attention from the community. We have had enough of these self proclaimed experts.

He used to shit on hitbtc so badly, yet, he's listing his new project there. So one of two things are happening here,

1) he's full of $%!7
2)

I couldn't think of a second one lol. He also said he'd run for president, I get lots of CW vibes out of the guy, just out for attention, and many in the crypto space are giving it to them

[michellee]

It seems John will soon have to do something dirty.

Yikes

We are curious about what happens in the next 3 years. We are also curious about what will happen at the end of this year. We hope that bitcoin can increase so high, and I am sure that will occurs later. I am just curious if he will do what he says or not because many of us don't believe in him.

[qory]

I don't think have bad impact if bitcoin not reach above $500k for three years later, but if bitcoin keep stable on higher price above $20k will get positive respond from many investor to trust with bitcoin and altcoin, how ever bitcoin become friendly payment and could be the way how many people will get much profit with bitcoin and altcoin.

[ttcsalam]

A massage market has a lot of impact.Due to this massage, the price is increasing day by day in the market.There is no doubt that the price of Bitcoin will go up.But I don't think it will go that far.
I hope everyone will benefit depending on the technology.And the digital currency will be in a better position.

[Bttzed03]

Come on now. It doesn't take a genius to figure out that it's been over three years since he made that comment.

what if price jumps this year ? mcafee is going to be the one that will laugh on us and we are the ones that will eat  our junk .

From $9k to $500K in five months? Be realistic mate. Even in 2021 or 2022, I doubt btc would be that high.

if ever btc fail to increase that much , id still forgive him due to the corona issue that strike this year because if not corona the price could succesfully pump now . 

Corona issue or not, it's simply not plausible. What would have possibly happened if COVID-19 didn't hit us is for btc to reach a new ATH but not reach $500K by July 2020.

Please do.

Thanks. Added to OP.

I started my journey with cryptocurrency more than 7.5 years ago. I have seen all sorts of scamming and cheating going on in the cryptocurrency market and I regard McAfee as one of the most articulate scammers. I know a huge number of people who lost their money after investing in the projects which were promoted by this loser. It is important to educate new users about what he did earlier.

Yeah, the guy is pretty good at marketing plus he looked like a "genius" to newbies eyes back in 2017. I was lucky enough to dodge a bullet that time. Thanks to the guys who were trying to expose him back then.

[Ozero]

Of course, in three years and five years, the price of bitcoin will most likely not reach $ 500,000. All these predictions about cosmic Bitcoin prices are unrealistic. It will be quite normal for Bitcoin if it grows gradually. Celebrity predictions about big cryptocurrency prices are given more in order to make money or draw attention to their personality.

[wozzek23]

Lol , anytime I come across a post that reminds me of this I just laugh really hard . This same guy is now saying he’s no longer going to be investing in Bitcoin and will be going for Ethereum. Some people usually think that once you’re an influencing people or celebrity you then have the power to look into the future and predict prices lol. These people can’t be right all the time, they are just saying what they think will happen, they can’t predict anything, so people need to stop relying on them and learn to do their own research.

Even I am believing into one million dollar for one bitcoin, I am not expecting that to happen this year or next year but anytime before 2025. We need at least 5 more countries to be having positive stand against bitcoin adoption for that. I guess many governments to be thinking about it after Japan's successful run with bitcoin legalization.

[Asuspawer09]

After 3years was like .....

There is a high chance that this is not going to happen and probably just going to be a meme, After 3 years we are all ranting online about John Mcafee and tagging him in his post  .

I guess this is just for the hype so that a lot of investors will be interested in cryptocurrency.
