Back in 2019, antivirus mogul John McAfee was praising privacy coins such as Monero and was highlighting that these will be the future.
Back then, CCN reported that specifically pumping coins in the medical field and privacy coins will be successful.
McAfee called Bitcoin worthless
Now, it’s been revealed that McAfee just called Bitcoin worthless. This came as a response to a user who claimed that people are only interested in his personality because of BTC.
I have no clue
Bitcoin is worthless.

You may recall that McAfee gained mainstream press coverage after he predicted that Bitcoin could hit $1 million by the end of this year.
He said that if this doesn’t happen, he will eat his penis on national tv.
This initial bold target was posted back in July 2017.
He stood by his prediction in December 2019, but now he said that his $1 million call was just an IQ test, as revealed by the online publication UToday.
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
