And you took mcaffee's prediction seriously? Well, personally I followed his project hypes wayback, even though most end up being crappie, and it got to a point that most people didn't take his predictions serious anymore.
Well.. you can't deny the fact that John McAfee is still a big name across the industry. When he makes crazy statements such as this one, the major media outlets will cover the story. It is entirely another topic whether his prediction is believable or not. I am someone who believes that any sort of publicity (either negative or positive) is going to benefit the cryptocurrency sector.
