Cybersecurity guru and libertarian presidential candidate John McAfee’s thinking follows alongside Moas, except McAfee tweeted to one of his followers today that if his predictions fail to materialize, he will dine on his own penis in front of everyone. McAfee made the comment after saying bitcoin will move above $500,000 within three years.
He said, “Bitcoin’s low of $1,800+ yesterday simply could not be maintained. In the long term Bitcoin moves above $500,000 within three years. Bets?” Shortly after making the comment, one of his followers responded, “So 1btc 500k $ within 3years?” McAfee’s response was memorable:
** "If not, I will eat my dick on national television." **
Needless to say, these public figures and many others are predicting an extremely bullish ride over the next few years for bitcoin. It will be interesting to see how everything pans out, especially when promises of eating one’s own phallus are made publicly in defense of bitcoin’s predicted gains.
