John McAfee took to Twitter to say “I fu%*ng told you” about the recent Bitcoin price rebound and double down on his $1 million price prediction.

One feature of the cryptocurrency ecosystem that far outshines the world of traditional finance is intriguing personalities. One of the most dynamic individuals in virtual currencies is John McAfee, the noted cybersecurity pioneer and current wanted man. He is an entertaining person on social media, and he once again delivered when he took to Twitter to proclaim “I fu%*ng told you” about the recent surge in Bitcoin price.

McAfee Takes a Bow

After a lengthy period of little upward movement, Bitcoin exploded in value yesterday as it shot up over $5,000 on Asian exchanges. It later cooled down to just under the $5K mark, but it has danced around that figure all day today. Reuters claims that the surge was due to an anonymous buyer picking up $100 million in BTC through automated orders.

I am absolutely NOT the type of person who would ever say "I told you so". But. . . . . . I fu%*ng told you so!! pic.twitter.com/0mvuknf3Ye — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) April 3, 2019

Long a cryptocurrency proponent, McAfee celebrated the good news. He took to Twitter to point out that he had predicted a positive turn in the market two weeks ago. He noted:

Everyone trashed me two weeks ago when I said: ‘The market has now turned’, so I’ve kept my mouth shut. I will now say it again: ‘The market has now turned’. The bow of the bear market was pulled to its max. Now watch the arrow spring to life.

Today, he tweeted out an even better message, saying he had “fu%*ng” told people about where Bitcoin was headed. While the faint of heart may swoon and ask for smelling salts, I love his enthusiasm.

Doubling Down on Million Dollar Price Prediction

On his “I told you so” thread, McAfee doubled down on his prediction of Bitcoin hitting $1 million by the end of 2020. He tweeted:

I feel like I’m in an acid flashback sometimes. If people would stop speculating and apply some basic arithmetic we could end this nonsense. IT IS NOT MATHEMATICALLY POSSIBLE, GIVEN THE LAWS OF THIS UNIVERSE, FOR BITCOIN TO BE LESS THAN 1 MIL BY THEN!

He later added:

I have two years. Don’t they teach math in schools? If you can do even a trivial amount of Boolean algebra you would know, absolutely, that BTC cannot possibly be less than $1 mil by then. Its just not fucking possible dude. Jesus!!! Help! I feel like I’m in an acid flashback.

When I predicted Bitcoin at $500,000 by the end of 2020, it used a model that predicted $5,000 at the end of 2017. BTC has accelerated much faster than my model assumptions. I now predict Bircoin at $1 million by the end of 2020. I will still eat my dick if wrong. pic.twitter.com/WVx3E71nyD — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) November 29, 2017

Of course, he has a vested interest in BTC reaching a million dollars. Back in November 2017, he promised to eat his own dick on national TV if the world’s number one cryptocurrency did not reach that mark.

Sadly, McAfee is dealing with a host of issues at the moment. He is dealing with a severed Achilles tendon, a tooth broken at the gum line, and is on the run from the IRS while running his campaign for U.S. president from exile. He says there are no surgeons on the island where he is staying, and he cannot leave for fear of arrest. Also, there is only one dentist who only comes twice a month for a day as he services 11 islands. We wish him a speedy recovery and are keeping our fingers crossed that he won’t have to eat his own manhood late next year.
