John McAfee some time ago predicted that Bitcoin would reach $ 500.000 by 2020, but with recent events, he changes his bet and says it will reach $ 1.000.000

This year, Bitcoin has broken all forecasts by already reaching $ 11.500 in valuation, despite the fact that right now it is in a complete value readjustment and is at $ 9.500, but it will rise again, especially when the CME Group announces officially opening the Bitcoin futures market. The eccentric John McAfee said a few months ago, when Bitcoin was worth $ 3.000, more or less, that this cryptocurrency could reach $ 500.000 in 2020. At that time everyone thought he was crazy, but time gives and remove reasons.

Although we are far from the value predicted by McAfee, BTC should have closed the year at less or slightly above $ 10.000, but it has already passed this barrier and by much more. The forecast is still a long way off, but it doesn't seem far-fetched, far from it, but now, McAfee has decided to double down and may be right. The reasons why it could reach that value are, among others, the increasingly complex obtaining of these coins, the reduction in the quantity that can be mined and the entry of external actors, such as CME Group and the Nasdaq, to ​​implement BTC futures. next year.

John McAfee has decided to raise his bet, as we said and in this case he has published the following message on his Twitter account: “When I predicted that Bitcoin would be worth $ 500.000 by 2020, it had as a model a value of $ 5.000 per unit in 2017. Now that the value has accelerated so much I am going to change my predictive model. I believe that Bitcoin will be worth $ 1 million. I'll eat my own *** if I'm wrong. "
