Topic: McAfee Speculation Thread (Read 374 times)

I agree. Even though he seems to be a defender of bitcoin, I don't approve of his methods. He's making bitcoin look more like bitconnect than an actual long term venture that is supposed to be revolutionizing the world.

There is a 99.99999% chance that his speculation won't be redeemed, and he probably won't redeem his promises either.

Making outlandish claims about bitcoin's pricing in the future, without any basis is more misleading than anyone else. Even long term bulls like me and many other people will say with certainty that BTC's price will not go to what McAfee claims it will go to.

McAfee is a loser and a fud spreader. At the time Binance was offline, he started spreading fud making it look like they were hacked. If that isn't a nasty practice of him, then I don't know how high your standards are.

What I find even more funny, or pathetic, is that he keeps has been recommending his Twitter followers to buy certain absolute shitcoins. He has even claimed that his account was hacked once, while it wasn't the case.

Like seriously, you're a billionaire already, why all this effort to gain a few thousand bucks off of innocent people and noobs? He's tarnishing his own reputation for pocket change. He is mentally challenged I believe.

It's only logical to assume that. Even if demand stays static until the next halving then the price should in theory increase as there is less sell pressure from the miners. If demand increases at the same time then the price can grow a lot more.

Seriously I was fooled by him before when he said that bitcoin will reach $500,000 -> $1,000,000. I don't know if this man is serious about the crypto itself but I find him very interesting as he's one of the defender when there's a FUD before when Dimon stepped in and tells that bitcoin is a fraud.
I think he's reachable, have you ever tweeted or contacted him?

he probably got scared or maybe someone gave him a friendly warning so he started looking for an exit strategy to keep face while getting out of it, so he made that dumb claim that his Twitter account was hacked.

as you may know market manipulation (which is basically what he was doing) is a very illegal thing to do in a lot of different jurisdictions.

Ooooo...  I wonder what that must have been like.  Imagine spreading someone elses sh*t all over your face.  Ugh!

If he could do that who knows what else he could do.  Maybe he really would eat his own dick.  Lmao! 

Honestly, knowing that 6.2 btc will be the reward next, it just...kind of implies that my <1BTC will be worth much much more than it currently is, it's not a sure things obviously, but....I can only hope.

I heard some "rumors" about him, how in a particular Asian country he was partaking in a scat fetish with some women over there.

there will not adoption . now is it agony . 

There was another of these threads awhile back and I did a little back of the napkin calculation on it and surprisingly it is in the realm of possibility. McAfee's scenario calls for complete capitulation of the legacy market's within a year's time, where as I feel it will take several years for that archaic beast to realize the wound's are mortal. While I have been called out on some of my figures(broad money could be 20x more than the number I used) I still think they are relevant. The format is crude for sure but there is a certain elegance to its form I think.

I believe if we can have 18 to 20% global adoption bitcoin will be above  $1,000,000 just that from now to 2020 is still a very long time and many development will happen that is going to attract the society to hold bitcoin. Mcafee comments and speculation has built some of us confidence in bitcoin and help in pushing the price forward in 2017 and I believe 2018 will be better.

He used a very obscure model which predicts 1 million per coin at 20% global adoption.

It's a joke, he is a manipulator on a term of investments adviser, and people follows what he says blindly.

I think it's just an organized pump, and mcafee knows that he won't be able to do that on the regular stock market as it is regulated and he will probably find himself getting arrested, so what he can't do on the regulated market, why won't he be able to do on the unregulated one?

Just a method for mcafee to make money of poor people, nothing different from other things he do.
Soon, if bitcoin won't reach 100K$, he will need to eat his dick on the national TV, that's a thing I want to see, although mcafee is known for not fulfilling promises.

Idk why media and community is giving too much attention to his useless and inaccurate statements about cryptos.
Just a publicity stunt to be in news all the time, i didn't find any proper analysis of him.
$1M in 2020 means bitcoin need to have a growth rate of about 5000% per year, damn.

Who is to say that he is not already among as but nobody knows of it? Keep your eyes pealed for the most deluded of comments and posts that exude arrogance and we might just find him. He's actually been fairly good for crypto but he's a whacko, plain and simple. No one in the 'real' world will take him seriously. Each time I see anything about him I do wonder how on earth he engineered and ran such a successful business for so many years. Then again, Trump is president.

I think it's just a game of politics because there is no road and mafafee actually can not control the bitcoin movement, it all depends on the demand of bitcoin enthusiasts.

I think he eventually claimed that his account got hacked. I call bullshit, I think he was really pumping these coins himself, got paid big sums of BTC for doing so, then after he was done, to keep his credibility intact, he claimed that he was "hacked". I haven't checked his twitter in a long time because honestly he isn't that knowledgeable in crypto, so I don't know if he's still pumping ICOs and alts left and right. What I do know is, he hangs out with Ver, Jihan, Craig.. the BCash clan, so I wouldn't consider his opinion to be trusted, he is just jumping on the crypto bandwagon for attention, kinda like Kim Dotcom. They are yet to provide real value, a genuine product, or better yet, a Bitcoin BIP of substance, until then, this guy is just a shill with a lot of followers.

Omg that would be fun.  He prolly posts like Shelby, all coked up, sharing his thoughts and tapping on his keyboard all night, making long ass posts.  Lol.

You know anyone here with that same profile?

ever since i saw his couple of tweets which was pretty suspicious and let to pumps of the altcoins he was advertising, i am convinced that he did all that for publicity.

and he made a lot of money from that publicity also. imagine a pump group that is so much bigger than someone unknown idiot on telegram with some sheep following him.

Yes he will, I've watched an interview on him by one of a well known group of traders on facebook. And he's game to be in that interview giving his own thought about this whole year about fighting against regulations which he actually said that on that video and it's happening now. I know many will not consider him as he's losing credibility through pump and dump ICO's and altcoins that he went through last time. But I'm also interested about that dick thing and I wanted to see bitcoin hitting $1M to the moon.

All about crypto with McAffee is publicity. He's got very famous by his comments in crypto. In the end it doesn't care if what he says is finallyy right or not but his getting being noticed, he gets many more followers in his twitter, he can appeared more in tv shows, etc. If he is right in his bitcoin prediction he can autoproclamate a cryptooracle. If he fails... I think he won't finally eat his dick on tv, I suspect he won't, sure he appreciates it a lot... 
On the other hand I think he's a genius.

His chances are pretty much destroyed when he raised his claim from $500k to $1 mil.

I don't even think that he's being legit anymore. When he initially claimed that bitcoin would go to $500k or more by 2020, I thought that he was being serious. But now, it seems like that it's just a publicity stunt for the viewership. He may have bought into the hype in the beginning as well.

Anyways, it'll be interesting to see how he redeems his promises in 2020 if BTC doesn't go up to 7 figures

But hey, any publicity for BTC is good publicity, it doesn't matter for the rest of us.

90-99% sure that he was on BCT at one point or another.

It's really hard to know. LOL. There is still a long way to go for Bitcoin to reach to 1m$ at the end of 2020 cause atm Bitcoin price is just more than 9k$. LOL. Maybe John McAfee will have to eat his own dick but I think he'll not do that and he'll say that it's just a joke. LOL. This guy is not truthworthy so I think he'll find out the way to don't have to eat his dick.

they could all be here for all we know. if i wanted to shill or pick up knowledge via this forum i probably wouldn't let my identity slip.

i doubt this forum offers him the instant gratification that twitter does. it would be interesting to observe if he did show up here.

You know what, I actually think that's a good idea, or a fun one at any rate. I mean, he'd love an audience, and he might learn a thing or two from people here, I know I have! It's nice to see you think we're all low lifes =p

Come to think of it, would be curious to see other corporate types and "rebels" come here.


Think if he realises he could gain even more fame from a signature campaign, he might dip his toes. And I like having crazies around. Makes the benchmark for sane that much higher.

if you're willing to pay him then i'm pretty sure he'll turn up anywhere and any time and do anything.

i wonder if he's gonna snap out of his current insanity and return to being a yogi or whether he's on a downward slide into hell. things would certainly be very different if he cleaned up his act and stopped being insane.

i'm fascinated by him because he's a public figure who it's possible to compare against a time when he was not a violent paranoic.

Let's the focus on the other thing McAfee said for a change.  Eating his d*ck on national TV.  Lol.  It would be great to have him here in BCT, among the low lifes, and interact with us.  



Do you guys think he'll come by if someone reaches out to him on Twitter or something?  I heard he's game.
