2020 sure sucks so far. But the year may not yet be a complete wash.
He still has to eat his cock on live television.
Three years ago, on this date, on July 17, 2017, McAfee, the eccentric founder of the antivirus software company that bears his name, made the bet of his life.
Bitcoub’s low of $ 1,800 + yesterday simply couldn’t hold. In the long term, Bitcoin moves above $ 500,000 in three years. The bets?

McAfee made a bet that in three years a single bitcoin (1 BTC) would be worth $ 500,000.
Now, while most people would throw money into making this bet, McAfee had a very different idea.
If not, I’ll eat my cock on national television.

In a response to Twitter user @DogMagUra, who was simply verifying McAfee’s claim that 1 BTC would be worth $ 500,000 in three years, the unconventional software millionaire and former “person of interest” in a murder investigation replied:
“If not, I’ll eat my dick on national television.”
McAfee probably thought it was a winning bet at the time. The cryptocurrency news from July 17, 2017 was great: Bitcoin had just dropped below $ 2,000 after a huge surge, but later that year it would hit its all-time high: $ 19,800.
Fast forward to July 17, 2020, three years after the day McAfee made its bet. Today, a bitcoin is worth around $ 9,150. It certainly has been for three years, of course. But we are far from $ 500,000. The world may be very different from the one we lived in three years ago, but a bet is a bet.
Many on Twitter reminded McAfee that it was time to fulfill his bet.
John, what is there to eat today?

McAfee’s response? He seems to be cowering.
Why would I care about posting some8je?
The bet was the end of 8f 2020.
Neeraj is just an idiot.

Not today.
End of 2020.
– John McAfee (@officialmcafee) July 17, 2020
It is well documented that I will eat my cock on December 31, 2020, not July this year.
Google the bet.
The “In Three Years” was a reference to that date. The creator of this tweet did not investigate it.
Will I eat it?

The former antivirus software mogul now says we have it wrong all the time. Several months after his initial tweet, in November 2017, he tried to say that he was referring to final 2020.
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’s assumptions. I now predict Bircoin at $ 1 million by the end of 2020. I will still eat my dick if I’m wrong. pic.twitter.com/WVx3E71nyD

But in July 2017, McAfee agreed to a three-year term. That’s. The clock starts on the day the bet is placed. We do not celebrate our birthdays at the end of the year. We turned one year old the day we were born. This is how this works.
McAfee is certainly a guy. He recently ran to be the Libertarian Party’s presidential candidate in 2016 and 2020. The party did not nominate him for any of his offers.
McAfee made the headlines in 2012 when he was wanted as a “person of interest” in the investigation into the murder of his neighbor in Belize. He was later traced back to Guatemala, where he claimed he was seeking political asylum. McAfee was arrested for illegally entering the country, and ultimately returning to US officials in Belize did not proceed to charge McAfee with a crime. It has also been rape.
So yes, McAfee is certainly not a good guy. I can’t think of a greater punishment than McAfee eating his own cock, on live television no less. It’s time for McAfee to pay the piper.
