John McAfee is quite the persona to simply observe. The man has done a great many things that hold a significant lack of sense or forethought, but in the cryptoverse<\/a>, he holds a unique title: The Bullish Man On Earth.<\/p>\n Of all the most outrageous claims to ever have been made regarding the world\u2019s first cryptocurrency, McAfee<\/a> was the one that won them all: Predicting that BTC would reach $1 million in value by 2019. Furthermore, the man bet his own manhood in this prediction, saying he would eat his own penis if it didn\u2019t work out.<\/p>\n Sadly, he didn\u2019t follow through on that. He spun it out into some excuse that it was a publicity stunt. Now, though, it seems that McAfee has a new fad to keep himself busy with: Denouncing Bitcoin as \u201cthe true shitcoin\u201d and pushing for other forms of crypto, or altcoins.<\/p>\n Amongst all these jarring transitions of sides, the man is running for the US presidency, as well.<\/p>\n This world is truly a magnificent one.<\/p>\n Through recent twitter posts, Mcafee praised the so-called Bitcoin maximalists for inventing the word \u201cshitcoin\u201d but warned that they were using it for the wrong crypto forms.<\/p>\n Whichever Bitcoin Maximalist came up with the term "Shitcoin" for all other coins;<\/p>\n Was brilliant.<\/p>\n But we all know that the future of Crypto rests with the Alt Coins.<\/p>\n Bitcoin –<\/p>\n Old, clunky, no security, no smart contracts, no DAPs ….<\/p>\n Is the true Shitcoin.<\/p>\n — John McAfee (@officialmcafee) January 29, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nDoubling Down On Opposites<\/strong><\/h2>\n
