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 .

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".

. 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
source
^ 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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
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.
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).

I read most of these. If you permit, I'd like to add this to the OP.
Please do.
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.
That was how they pushed a lot of people who knew little or nothing about crypto into investing in Bitcoin at about $17,000 per Bitcoin. I know a woman who almost become homeless when he became broke as Bitcoin price started going down in 2018. That time just confirmed that nobody is an expert in predicting prices in the crypto community.
The fact that media people are not able to predict the price of bitcoin has been known for a long time. An example is Arthur Hayes, the head of Bitmex who, at different times, predicted different prices for bitcoin.
His last prediction was in March, he said that by the end of 2020, the price of bitcoin will rise to $ 20,000.
Nevertheless, Hayes said in one of his interviews: "It's my job to predict whether the predictions come true or not, I don't care."

predictions, speculation will always be there at any time, even though the person making the prediction is an expert, of course it can't be trusted because no one knows the market price will be able to move up or down in the next 3 years. having strong beliefs about future market price increases is highly recommended in this industry, but don't be easily influenced by other people's opinions, because it can backfire if we trust them too much.
Well, McAfee over exaggerated, he was maybe persuaded with the reality that a lot of persons and companies would have adopted bitcoin before this day having seen the direction of the market in 2017, today he has shifted his position. This man may be making some frivolous predictions which can cause a lot of people to jump into fire, he is nevertheless an asset to this community. People must learn for themselves and not digest all what their mentors or experts say.
I think this is a troll post. Or he want to hype Bitcoin. If everyone or so many people believe his speech and buy Bitcoin and hold it for 3 years then Bitcoin price will up. I think this guy buy some Bitcoin and want to get huge profit from it. For this reason he post like that for hype bitcoin. Or he want to be a celebrity by a post
McAfee has already announced that this was a complete troll post and that he's not going to eat his dick.
It's a shame really, I really don't like this guy.
He's an absolute bane to the cryptocurrency industry and nobody should give him any attention or respect. He's single-handedly responsible for tens of thousands of peopel investing in shitcoins, and has been involved in more than a few pump and dumps.
He's a glorified shill and the quicker he goes away the quicker the industry can start recovering from his BS.

This guy is pure hype only.
He really gains a lot of attention from people because he is already famous especially it is in the field of technology, a lot of twitter followers, he can really easy to lure people.
As what I noticed on his previous works in lot of altcoins, a lot of hype, shill shitcoin here, shill shitcoin there.
Well I can't blame him if there is some people who fall for his shilling lot of shitcoins before.

For those noobs who don't know who John McAfee is:
1. John McAfee is the person who promoted scam projects such as SimmitriToken and Zombie Coin
2. He charged ~20% of the total supply of the ICO, in exchange for the promotion
3. In other cases, he charged $105,000 for each tweet he made to promote the scam ICOs
4. He is suspected of involvement of the murder of Gregory Faull in Belize
5. McAfee fled to Guatemala, in order to avoid arrest by Belizean authorities

I really forgot, this is one of the reasons why he is called a clown. He posted the tweet to spread FUD, because as we all know, he has been paid several times to praise a project regardless of the conditions that occur. Although honestly I hope that prediction will come true because I have converted most of my portfolio to bitcoin at that time.
As discussed in the previous comments, McAffee did say some things against bitcoin but he made that particular tweet to spread FOMO though.

He's just trying to hype bitcoin.
I bet this guy invested a lot.
He won't do such a thing without his own reasons.
But he went too far. I don't know if he really made a good market for bitcoin or he just made it worse.
Well, he is not really that popular. He just thinks so.
He is definitely creating a hype not only in this forum but in the whole cryptocurrency community, that person is dumb because he is just speculating it without basis. What he said is definitely not true, I do not know why many newbies out there keep believing on his opinions and tweets all over the twitter. If we understand the concept of technical analysis for sure you will also understand that what he said cannot eb true and it is just hype so we better stay away of it. I bet this guy invested a lot.

I have no idea if he gains in Bitcoin but one thing I am sure, he earned a lot in altcoin by hyping and being a shill. Charging around $105k for promotional tweet.
Well, he is not really that popular. He just thinks so.
He used to be famous (for a short period of time) but now he is known as infamous altcoin shill
