The price of bitcoin should now be of over $100,000 to follow the price prediction of eccentric cybersecurity expert John McAfee, which claimed it would be at $1 million by the end of 2020.
According to a website tracking the performance of the flagship cryptocurrency against McAfee’s prediction, BTC is currently down by 90% against where it should be to follow the price prediction.
Currently, one bitcoin is changing hands for around $10,150, but according to McAfee’s prediction it should be at around $102,500.

McAfee’s prediction was made back in 2017 when the cryptocurrency was trading at little over $2,200. The website adds BTC had to steadily grow at a rate of 0.484% a day to get to $1 million. The initial prediction foresaw a $500,000 bitcoin by the end of 2020, but McAfee revised it as his initial modes “predicted $5,000 at the end of 2017.”
BTC got a high of nearly $20,000 before the end of 2017, but soon started dropping. Over 2018 it went down to a $3,200 low before recovering in what has become known as the “crypto winter.” McAfee has been standing by his $1 million price prediction as time goes on, despite the 2018 bear market.
