John McAfee Takes a U-Turn from His $1M BTC Price Prediction
He even said that he will eat his “d**k on national television” if BTC failed to achieve the price.
John McAfee, the eccentric tech billionaire and crypto advocate, is backing out from his earlier prediction of Bitcoin prices touching $1 million by the end of this year.
In his latest tweet on Saturday, he called Bitcoin a “crippled crypto-tech” and his previous claims “absurd humor.”

I’m the person who predicted Bitcoin, the most crippled crypto-tech, would reach $1 mil.
Are you one of the persons who did not see the absurd humor in it?

McAfee first predicted the insane rise of the price rise of Bitcoin in 2018 and has firmly maintained and defended his position for a long time.
He even said that if Bitcoin failed to rise to his predictions, “I will eat my d**k on national television.”

“What idiot could believe such nonsense?”
McAfee started to deviate from his earlier insane claims from January, calling it “a ruse to onboard new users.”
“Bitcoin was first. It’s an ancient technology. All know it,” he then added.
A controversial Bitcoin proponent

Earlier, he was accused of shilling shady cryptocurrency projects and was taking hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single tweet.
The 74-year old also launched a crypto trading platform, McAfeeMagic, last year, which failed to appeal to the traders.
We all knew he was a retard. We were just looking forward to the humilliation.
Calling a financial wizard and highly successful business leader a retard is just plain ignorant. If a person wants to get ahead of the game then he needs to be a risk taker. We need change to cause any evolution from the norm. Sometimes change occurs naturally and in other cases it is induced by people.
