The bold forecast by entrepreneur John McAfee did not come to pass \u2014 despite a robust rally, Bitcoin failed to reach the $1 million mark.<\/p>\n

At the time of writing, the price of the leading cryptocurrency trades around $29,500, well below the target level.<\/p>\n

In 2017 McAfee vowed to eat his own penis if Bitcoin price did not reach $500,000 by the end of 2020. He later raised the stake to $1 million. Since then the entrepreneur has been vocal in support of his words.<\/p>\n

In January last year he abruptly called Bitcoin “the real shieldcoin” and hinted that he would not eat his own penis.<\/p>\n

In May 2020, McAfee publicly renounced his predictions.<\/p>\n

Wake up!<\/p>\n
