Ongoing liabilities for USA and actually many other western governments far exceeds their ability to pay for them. The figure I've heard for this on US debt is 120 trillion in total liabilities, the only likely outcome is that the value of the debt currently owed and also the value of the money is greatly devalued.
This only reflects what has already happened previously also, its not a wild prediction even if unpleasant. Its not more apparent right now as Japan and Europe are doing their best to equally devalue their currencies and so not lose the consumer marketplace of USA. This does not help long term capitalist outlook, it undermines growth with what is effectively bad debt. The most recent and obvious example is the Greek debt but this failure could apply to maybe a dozen 'rich' or least 1st world countries, ie. they are broke or at best insolvent.
McAfee is clearly wrong because he gave a fixed date. For all I know this failed debt scenario could take 50 years, imo it will occur under 20 years and 10 is still sensible but I doubt its very fast as there is great political support and consensus for the modern meta of deficit spending
Topic: BTC will hit $1M on 2020 - John McAfee - page 2. (Read 1140 times)
$1m btc is coming a hell of a lot faster than most of you guys think. The bitcoin price moves way faster compared to the normal asset rises we have to compare it to. And it ain't stopping for shit, it's fueled by the coming collapse of fiat - that's some powerful nuclear shit.
of course if you think US dollar is going to lose something like 80% of its current value then yeah it is obvious that bitcoin can reach 1 million US dollar in a very short time, possibly even in a couple of months.
but the speculators who throw $1 million, specially McAfee saying in 2020 do not have that assumption. they say with current US dollar value, bitcoin will be $1 million in such a short time which is nonsense.
It's not what I think, it's what I know. Research the US debt and quantitative easing, look at charts over time and then study the possible solutions. When you conclude that no solution exists, and that the problem will only get worse, and that this is not a sustainable situation, you will understand my pov.
Mcafee may be weird, but he understands the situation with a clarity that many don't, and I think his prediction is a genuine one. I do think his time frame is too optimistic. They will be able to continue this charade longer than another year or 2, but the house of cards will eventually fall.

Actually, he said the dollar would collapse and lose its value, so that one million would not be what one million is right now. He said that on a interview in YouTube, I dont have the link here.

I love the price prediction, but I don't love John McAfee, so I will not believe in him, that's too unrealistic for me.
Bitcoin to hit $1 million by next year, that was a joke, we even have a hard time reaching a new ATH this year.
A big joke from a real joker, its pretty obvious that he is just seeking for the attention. Bitcoin to hit $1 million by next year, that was a joke, we even have a hard time reaching a new ATH this year.
Bitcoin is good but that price is also so good to be true, $1M for bitcoin in less than a year is impossible and very unreal. I just want to hold my bitcoin until it make a good run again, believe it or not John McAfee is just a human and he can't be sure about this over prediction.
For those who did not know his reputation in crypto might believe, he can attract the new investors as he is popular in the business world.
People should be smarter now and not just believe right away as even the influential people can hype bitcoin at an unrealistic price.
those who aren't familiar with cryptocurrencies and as a result McAfee's reputation then they are also more familiar with the FUD that dozens of others are feeding them so one random guy telling them something in opposition of what they have been hearing is not going to change that much.
others who have been around and know who McAfee is and how he is abusing this nonsense to earn money are already ignoring him anyways.
John McAfee can only attract the newbies with such statements. Those who are old in this field should know by know that statements by John McAfee have no meanings and mostly these statements are give to get the fame or to manipulate the market in opposite direction.
a very interesting letter from the future, BTC will destroy governments and crime will not be controlled, so we are obliged to replace BTC with a legitimate BSV!

you're right about fiat currency collapse, but on what timeline i am really not sure. 10-15 years ago i was sure the collapse was imminent. now i've learned the powers that be are quite brilliant at sustaining faith in the system.
i don't think we need faith in fiat money to shatter to drive bitcoin to the moon. it's monetary properties and extreme scarcity alone can manage that. it's an unpopular opinion but i think $1 million is entirely possible in the next bubble.

John McAfee is a very good entertainer ! Most of his predictions are nothing but a pure joke. He is a famous guy because of his antivirus service but he is being a dishonest man since 2018! I am not his follower and I have zero percent trust on his prediction. Personally, I think BTC at 1M USD is impossible.
After all of his predictions, i guess he's a great troll in the crypto world trying to make people believe about of his prediction with swearing. lolI wonder if he would really gonna eat his own dick since he does tell it on national television.
How many times would this man to stop swearing and giving a nonsensical prediction?
500k is more realistic lol the only real chance of accuracy for this is from dollar devaluation as this person below says its quite inevitable at the moment but not at a pace that would make even 500k a realistic proposition. There would have to be a complete collapse and default by US treasury on debt owed leading to dollar to lose confidence in any backing.
This picture is a good example, the history being in 1929 someone lost their fortune on stock declines. However he isnt selling the car as cheaply as we think, $100 at this time was near to 5 ounces of gold.
If we use the open market price now it would be 5x $1,300 or $6,500 which is still a good price for a fine car back then I'm sure. At that time gold had no market price beyond official government fix to dollar and so every dollar was backed by gold, now we are reverse to that and yet people value the dollar which has no proper backing.
That unknown backing to dollar which can vary from substantial demands by government to pay taxes and so create demand, into the opposite of giant supply and no demand. Ultimately the government has no use for its own dollars, only issuing them to others. Without backing from those who take dollars as payment there is nothing to fix dollar to any value. In this scenario even a wild prediction of 500k or a million for the price of BTC or anything outside or global use could be correct. Its not likely an event to occur within ten years but anything is possible

The reality is that bitcoin WILL hit 1 million dollars one day. As long as it exists and as long as we still use it there is no possible scenario where bitcoin doesn't reach one million dollars. It may take 5 years or 10 years or 50 years but eventually it will happen.
The inflation already makes dollar worth a lot less than it used to be so comparing even a carton of milk 50 years ago and today they are totally different prices. This is also an investment product people put money in which means it will also gain momentum itself and we will have a 1 million dollar per bitcoin price eventually in our history, maybe even before we die but when very old. So, I do understand what John is saying but he is VERY WRONG on 2020 prediction part of it.

He didn't specify when in 2020 that it will hit $1m so if it gets close around 31 Dec 2020 then he will get a lot of respect for his outrageous prediction. He should really have kept it at 500k for a more realistic target
It's only a prediction and no one can tell if bitcoin will be hit that amount of price maybe in the future nut not so near. It's his opinion and all can predict the price but no is totally can be sure about what will be the real pri e in the future.
Where did you get the impression I thought it would come soon? what I said was that it's not impossible. Within 10 years, not next year like Mcafee said. I do expect him to lose all credibility when his prediction doesn't happen and refuses to eat his dick.
He said it was supposed to be $100k by end of 2018. He was already supposed to eat his <===8
I watched a documentary on him that divulged his paying Belize teenage girls to shit in his mouth. Given that, maybe he will actually honor his bet if/when he loses. He is one sick dude.

In a normal world, a $1m bitcoin is impossible, as is a $20k, an $8k or a $1k bitcoin. It's utility isn't what gives it value, it's the surreal dysfunction of the fiat based economies surrounding it that gives it value. When your eyes are truly opened to the unbelievable fucking economic nightmare that surrounds us, $1m bitcoin isn't impossible at all.
If you were aware of the true nature and mechanics of bitcoin, you would be unlikely to say that. 20k won't be here for a while at least until after the next halving. Look at the fundamentals and tell me that $1m bitcoin is possible "soon".
