A bold prediction has been launched by well-known computer programmer and American businessman John McAfee related to the price of the bitcoin, asserting that by 2020 the cryptocurrency will reach a value of 500 thousand dollars per unit.
The rise and fall of bitcoin The digital currency has put investors on edge since reaching the maximum of 3,018 dollars in mid-June, then precipitating its price per unit to about 1,863 dollars during the first days of July. However, after this, bitcoin began to show a gradual recovery, standing at $ 2,100 in mid-July.
In this regard, McAfee noted in his Twitter account that "simply could not hold" the decline to $ 1,800, and that "long term", specifically, "three years", the price of the bitcoin "will exceed 500 thousand dollars " So sure of his prediction seems to be the entrepreneur who has even been willing to bet that this happens, and does not propose any amount, but at least $ 50,000, along with another unusual and unpleasant promise about what he will do if his prognosis fails.
The pioneer in antivirus development did not offer further explanations about his bizarre prediction, pointing only to his knowledge in topology.
