I can believe only the part where he said that "Bitcoin is waking up again and the long term gain is ascertain".
Other things coming out of his mouth about BTC price is the going the other way round.
I use to have so much respect for this guy but not so much since he started making price prediction based on fantasy.

This man doesn't deserve respect imho on my part but well we do have different inputs and views towards people but this man do say BS thing neither
positive or negative towards bitcoin but Mccafee is a permabull so its expected that this man will most likely speculate high prices towards bitcoin.
I cant deny that I do believe that anytime bitcoin would wake up but not this time but at least we are seeing some recovery of prices came from 3k price dump.
For now lots of so-called experts and famous personalities popping up like mushrooms telling their price predictions neither these guys do already invest on the bottom and
trying to pump the price by spreading FOMO news.

What's your point of view on this?

He's just saying that because he doesn't want to eat his dick on national television LOL. He's just wanting us to bag moar so that it can help him reach his 'promised' price to the fella. This is the article showing that tweet.

Yea going to fly to the 1.000.000 USD as he said before. I don't understand why people believe this guy. What is his specialty to predict this price? He is just a big programmer which is not enough to predict the BTC future price for me.

Not that I believe anything John says but I like his regular appearance in the news and social media. He doesnt fear any one but focuses on his course on crypto and he doesnt care whichever way his predictions go, though in most case his predictions are highly exaggerated.

He either is right or he gets bangkok prostitutes to blow him on national TV... Win-win Roll Eyes

I believe him on this because I'm optimistic that this year is gonna be a full recovery of bitcoin.
He is right that it is waking up, in fact, bitcoin's has increase 200% already this year, but I don't agree with the figures he gives on his price prediction.

John McAfee Doubles Down on $1M 2020 Price Prediction for Bitcoin

sometimes statements made by John seem to form speculation, but there is no harm if we are wary of predictions and statements that John said... We can't underestimate a prediction or statement made by people who have influence.

Quote from: exstasie on August 05, 2019, 05:24:46 PM

The whole crypto news/media space is pathetic. They are just grasping at straws looking for a clickbait headline. Nobody really cares what McAfee thinks. Not until altcoin pump-and-dump season begins, anyway!

Not only crypto news is pathetic, other media can be said to be the same.. but without the media, I think the price of cryptocurrencies will not move, we all know that now the power of the media has been very large in influencing something, especially the price of cryptocurrencies...

On another note, bitcoin seems to be asleep right now, that is how wrong john can be.
We have moved about 300% from April to June, then ever since the price has been around 10-13 without moving outside of it.
So, we are talking about a guy who has managed to call bitcoin "waking up" when it has already woken up and then went back to sleep and we expect him to be right about anything ?

He could literally make up a coin toss result and I would gladly bet against him and more often than not I would win, he is that much wrong about everything that he would lose a 50% chance bet most of the time. Dude just sits in his house calling BS stuff all the time to get more famous because he is an attention seeking person who feels like his only worth comes from people hearing or reading about him.

i somewhat agree with things you said here but not this part. it is not about disliking him and it is not an extreme stance because what he has done was not a small thing, he has misled a lot of people specially newcomers and caused a lot of loss for them. you might argue that it is their own fault for falling for his scams but that still doesn't justify the things he has done.
what i am referring to is the endorsement of multiple scam ICO projects which later we found out that he got paid to do. if this was real world and any other market and he was for example endorsing an scam IPO then he would have been behind bars right now.

The only people who see some light in him are the ones who are so "against the system" that they are literally thinking someone is out to get them. There are that type of conspiracy type of people who are always suspicious of everything and they are literally just working to find ways to stay off grid and so forth, those crazy people may have some correct points about how we are all tracked and can be traced but at the same time if you are not an important person you literally have nothing to worry about.

Like let's say government can hack your phone listen to your talks, see your browser history (my god the horror!) and many other privacy related stuff, even if that is true (which is half true) why would they hack YOU, who the hell are you. Hence, the ones that support him are a bit crazy.

He was a bad guy and is still a bad guy but there are a lot of people online who still think of him in a good light. I guess you'll always have the fans, no matter who the person is. Bad or good, we're all giving him the attention he craves, so you know, maybe we should just stop talking about him all the time so he can go away.

I've also heard people say he's the father of Crypto, I'm a little laughing to hear it. In fact he was only a maker commotion in the Crypto world, many people who did not like him because of his statement, often made FUD and FOMO.

and you can't, no matter what, deny his contribution to the space (however bad or good it may be). Wish I had a bit more of that kind of sass.

How exactly did he contribute to this space? Is scamming people a contribution? If that's a yes in your book, then his contribution as con made a lot of people consider crypto a scam and therefore not touch it again.

What bothers me more is that even the more prominent Bitcoiners seem to be cool with this retard. Probably a sign that these Bitcoiners aren't entirely sober or trustworthy either. Cons like to hang out with other cons after all.

His predictions are meaningless too with how he has denied having made certain ridiculously high price calls in the past. He keeps denying having made specific price calls until he is right one day.

Awareness. At the very least, we got to give him that. And what you said actually... he burnt a lot of people but hopefully they learnt their lessons. IF you want to go so far as to say he even helped bring on the purge of altcoins by shilling them so much they collapsed under the weight of dumping, that's not wrong too.

Make no mistake, I'm not a fan of anything remotely related to him -- not even his alleged support for libertarianism -- but I've always said that it takes all kinds to make the world go round. And certainly, for something like Bitcoin, it takes ALL kinds and then some. I'm just being objective. We can denounce all the McAfees and Silk Roads as much as we want, but they played their role and we're here today where we are as much because of guys I do like (such as Antonoupoulos) as the guys I don't.

We don't have to take such extreme stances on things we dislike do we?

McAfee said it to be heard all over the news first so that he could find followers which then he used to advertise shitcoins and scam ICOs that paid him a lot of money. so ultimately that statement was made to make him money!
he mainly abused the desperation in some people for wanting to see a ton of profit in unreasonably short time.

He was a bad guy and is still a bad guy but there are a lot of people online who still think of him in a good light. I guess you'll always have the fans, no matter who the person is.

AS if BTC is actually sleeping, the volume of BTC everyday says something else when people says its just awaken. Only that day it almost break 11k, market seem to have the sell wall that whales are preventing it from going that high until they decides to go that level.

Well!! Popular cryptocurrency expert john McAfee says that bitcoin is waking up again.

According to John McAfee, “BTC waking up again. Up and down but long term steady growth is apparent”

What's your point of view on this?

Yea, and we are still waiting him to tell us who is the Satoshi Nakamoto he saw while smoking crack.

Its not what I wait for. Him sucking his dick will be funnier.

What if McAfee miss his prediction by one year, and bitcoin reaches 1 million at the end of this cycle?

What would you do? Would you sell all your stash? Would you sell in the way to one million, or only when it reaches that price?

Good question, I mean just by holding few satoshi, you could be reach if bitcoin reaches 1 million so it's going to be an easy decision for some to really sell their last few satoshi cashing it out and go to the bank laughing. So personally, I would sell some, just enough to make my life easy in the next couple of years and then hold and be optimistic that the price could even reach higher in the future.

Me too, if I can kill my mortgage with some of my stash I'm going to do that as an insurance. The rest will remain in play until I feel that I can no longer spend it in my lifetime 😊

I'm not waiting for any particular price and I'm certainly not basing my plans on John McAfee's predictions. As a trader, I'm trying to increase my BTC to mitigate any capital I'm pulling out of the market, to keep a healthy stash for the long term. It's been working out well for the past several years, though I took a walloping in late 2015 by staying bearish for too long.

I think BTC will eventually be worth millions a piece......and that's in the back of my mind any time I sell or spend some. I recommend keeping some BTC in a separate cold storage stash that you literally don't ever plan to spend. That could be your children's future right there! You never know.

And McAfee? Would he castrate himself?

No way. McAfee is a supreme shit talker. He'll make light of it and the whole thing will be quickly forgotten.
