That is funny. I agree with the OP that this should a lesson that we should not always follow and believe the expert's prediction or opinion. Any reactions to this from him these days?
That's true, even those experts cannot say the accurate price of the bitcoin for the next days. So if you see some posts on twitter about predictions, do not believe them easily.

That is so funny, John McAfee is so confident with his prediction, it means that even those big people or very familiar people cannot predict the accurate price of the bitcoin in the next few years, days or even in a minute, bitcoins volatility makes it so good and so thrilling for me, it makes the cryptocurrency good for trading and investing. So there wiuld be no person who can predict the price of the bitcoij because if ther would be a person that can guess or predict the price of the bitcoin, he will be so rich and earn more money.
And he already backs down from his own bet (source). But for those who curious about the bet, check http://www.dickening.com/
Yeah, he won’t be eating his dick, he is a dick though. Isn’t he part of some shitcoin or token drop happening imminently? He’s a bit of a druggie loser now, rich yes but a bit of a moron.
He was the Hypeman and the Shitcoin Pump of The Year. We all know he isn't going to do what he promised and it was all done for the hype and money he was getting at the time. I'll never forget how much he helped with the pump & dump of the markets at the time - or, in other words, with making the poor even poorer.
If this is how well he delivers his promises, then I'd imagine how well he would if he became the President.

MCAfee was drove away by the rose in the price of bitcoin during that period and if a poll was held at that moment asking the same question, I believe a lot of people will say yes. Nobody could have thought a coin that worth less than $50 in 2011 could have jumped so high within a few months and reach almost 20k in 2017. Part of the reason we all keep saying it is really hard to predict the price at any point

Hoping that it is not a hoax.

A historical meme that was made.
I think he admitted that it won't happen and it's all for the hype.

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.

^ 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.
