McAfee once again emerges on Twitter calling Bitcoin a “worthless coin”, saying he didn’t believe that the leading currency would not reach $1 million, as we are reading more in the upcoming Bitcoin news.
Back in 2017, John McAfee said that “he would eat his own d**k” if BTC doesn’t hit $500,000 within three years. Today, Bitcoin reached $9,130 and the price has to increase by more than 5,376% to meet these predictions. In general, Bitcoin is not going anywhere near the $500,000 price range and McAfee also started backtracking from his $1 million per BTC prediction. Last year he said that he is positive that BTC will reach $1 million because the negativity around the market is overblown:
“Not going to get out of it. I never believed Bitcoin would hit $1 mil. It’s absurd. It’s an old, tired, worthless coin. I just wanted to eat my dick on TV. Wait for it.”
if not, I will eat my dick on national television.

Since the mid-2019, the price of Bitcoin dropped from $13,900 and $9,100 after the 34% drop in the previous year as McAfee no longer feels confident about the $1 million BTC prediction when he said:
“Bitcoin is at the mid 10’s and people worry. LMFAO!! Why do you pay attention to weekly fluctuations? Look at the past few months FFS! It’s rising drastically. I’m still positive about my $1 mil BTC price by the end of 2020. Alt coins like MTC and Apollo will rise ten times more.”
It also seems that McAfee was referring to the end of 2020 as the prediction date for $500,000 per bitcoin approached. A few other crypto enthusiasts questioned him about the subject and he cited a website called dickening.com. The website says he promised to “eat his own d**k” if BTC doesn’t reach $1 million by December 31, 2020. McAfee said that everything is ‘’well documented” and when asked about it he reaffirmed that he will follow through with his plan:
“It’s well documented that I will eat my dick on Dec 31st, 2020, not in July of this year. Google the bet. The ‘In three years’ was a reference to that date. The originator of this tweet did not research it. Will I eat it? You bet! Myself, or, perhaps, a subcontractor:)”
Max Keiser, the host of Keiser report and huge bitcoin supporter, jokingly commented on calling bitcoin a “worthless coin” saying that McAfee is now recovering at the hospital honoring his bet:
“John McAfee honored his bet, made three years ago, to bite off his dick if Bitcoin wasn’t at $500,000 GOOD NEWS: He’s doing well at the hospital and expected to make a full recovery.”
