I follow James Altucher's news blast sent to my email box everyday. Some of his free stuff is great but most of the rest is click bait. The way he leads people around into click-bait is like a deceptive used car sales person. I often want to unsubscribe from his list but there are some decent reads in there sometimes. I have not figured out why he acts like a used car sales person because he is an otherwise talented and generous individual.

Before speaking about one million, they should be speaking about building a citadel for bitcoiners.

Because if bitcoin reaches this price (and specially as soon as 2020) the nocoiners out there will want our heads.

Price predictions should not be based around lambos, but around our own survival.

There is a real world, and there is a world of fairy tales, and it is more than obviously in which world this person lives. 2020 knocking at the door, price is under $10k and he will take the magic stick and launch bitcoin to $1 million in next 6-7 months.

James Altucher is based his theory on fact that there is $200 trillion of fiat money, and that at some point fiat currencies will begin to collapse, and people will start to buy bitcoin. He even say that $1 million is not necessarily to occur by 2020, maybe in few years or something like that. Actually, it's about pure speculation of one man, same as John McAfee.

What is interesting is that both of them have said that back in 2017, the only question is who was the first.


I'm not saying it's impossible. No one who's been around in Bitcoin for a while will say it's impossible. But I will say this: it's likelier to be $1 than it is $1 million. And I'm not even a nocoiner.

Altucher, McAfee, et cetera. It's not like I'm any better than them, no, but are we really just so fixated on price that it's all that matters?

What's McAfee or Altucher ever really done other than Sunday mathematics using numbers other people came up with and arbitrarily shifting them around until they arrive at a figure they like.

I like $1million. Let's do magic numbers till it arrives at $1 million.

Can we at least first hit $100,000 before we start talking about $1 million?

These fools have only their outrageous predictions that makes them interesting to invite for mainstream media brands, because what else do they have to contribute? They don't even have that much of a position in Bitcoin at all. We should pay attention to the smart money, not to broke ass drug addicts and other cringe worthy individuals.

I like Daniela Cambone (the only reason I follow Kitco). She at least has a clue about the market and you can see that she has her doubts when talking to that clown.

LOL, is he and John McAfee smoking the same pot?  Grin. The only logical reason I can think of is that this guy perhaps went all-in on Bitcoin and betting his life savings on it that's why he wanted the price to hit that high in 2020. Otherwise he is detach from reality because we all know that it's far-fetched to say that Bitcoin could really hit $1 million by 2020, lets admit to that fact.

@serjent05 - thanks for saving me 5 minutes of my time, not watching that video. So the hypothetical "if" is what this whole argument is about.

I watched the video and I found this magic word!  The word is "if".  From that, I would say even the speaker have doubt about his belief.  He set that word just to be safe in case his prediction does not happen.  That said, I can say no, Bitcoin won't be $1m  by 2020.  I am bullish but I'd rather live in the world of reality than fantasy.

If this will be happening after bitcoin will reach its hardcap supply and i believe if that will be possible but when the miners still get reward from the block to be dumped to the market and i believe if that guy was creating a non sense speculation like what already did by so many bitcoin speculators.
1 million for 2040 makes sense for me rather than 2020

A $1 million dollar per Bitcoin possibility is very Impossible for now in my opinion right now we are down again to $7,972.58 USD and the resistance is still there, well I guess we still need to pierce the $9000 USD If we can do this I guess it might be possible to get us to $1 million Dollar per bitcoin but I highly doubt that this year can be certain  well I may never know, But everything is possible with the Bull Market.

I am aware that there some people who think that James Altucher has no reputation to start with and that we should not listen to whatever he is saying no matter how positive it can be for bitcoin. But then again, maybe we should give him some space to make his point. In one of his latest interviews, he talked about enlightening things worth of our time, I guess.

"Best-selling author and former hedge fund manager James Altucher is not backing down from his $1-million-dollar bitcoin call that he boldly made back in 2017. His timelines may be a little different however. Altucher made the call two years ago when bitcoin was trading around $11,000, he called for the crypto to hit $1 million by 2020."
