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.
McAfee's prediction to me is not a big deal from the start. I'm not even taking it seriously. Just can't believe there are really people who expect that $500,000
BTC in 3 yrs. I mean, I admire the optimism but I always stick to the most realistic thing to happen. Obviously, no one can predict.
On the bright side, Bitcoin got real attention that year because of McAfee's troll, at least. It's Bitcoin after all so even how risky it is, it's worth putting a shot here. I just don't like that he involved in some ICO projects as a supposed advisor that creates hypes at those investors. Those projects aren't even active in development today.
