John McAfee is the renowned British-American programmer and founder of the company McAfee and Associates—creators of the first commercial antivirus software. McAfee became very popular in the cryptocurrency world in 2017 for his wild predictions and wagers that the price of bitcoin will reach an astonishing $500,000 for one bitcoin by 2020. Added to his predictions was yet another weird promise that he would eat up his dick if that does not happen. Some have said that McAfee even promised to eat up his right testicles if the price of bitcoin did not go as he had predicted. This year, He has increased his bet to $1,000,000 for one bitcoin in by 2020. Otherwise, he would do something funnier.
McAfee’s tweet has received 1,488 likes and 214 tweets. The reaction of his fans has been equally funny. One of his fans replied. More of this please and less of "bitcoin will be $17 trillion by tomorrow, or I'll eat my left testicle". Another fan replied. “Special weed tonight?” Someone even went further to suggest that McAfee qualifies as America’s next president with this single tweet, while another tweet read that this is McAfee’s best tweet since January. We do not know the point McAfee was driving at when he posted it or whether it was supposed to be a private message to one of his very personal friends. Neither can we ascertain that McAfee was high when he wrote the tweet.
It appears that McAfee has been so overexcited since bitcoin started gaining traction recently. The price of the cryptocurrency and other altcoins following dropped drastically from an all-time high of over $20,000 in December 2017 to about $3222 in December 2018. Lately, there have been a lot of favorable developments in the crypto space to the surprise of cynics. Other cryptocurrencies or altcoins have also take a similar turn. We have known McAfee as a crypto man all this while, but we are unsure if he has plans of creating a new kind of profession—crypto comedy. Investing in cryptocurrency remain risky and less regulated. It will be in the best of interest of anyone who considers such investments to weigh the risk and put only an amount he/she can afford to lose.
