~ You are wrong about John McAfee being a "crypto personality". He is just a weird millionaire and made shit ton of money out for his crappy anti-virus program.
Considering how much money he got paid from shilling shitcoins, he's up there with other "influencers". Heck, I even saw some projects here with "McAffee supports" in their signature 
He was high or drunk when he wrote that and it went viral. He probably decided to ride it as people were quoting and praising him for this bold prediction but then had to backtrack so instead of saying he was wrong,he chose the "angry way out" and attacked bitcoiners. Bitcoin is shit according to him, altcoins are better and it was all a lie to pump bitcoin.
Classic isn't it? Much like the other coin developers we see today who loved Bitcoin but.......they want to make money so they started recycling old issues. ~

Don't underestimate this guy, he's an experienced salesman.
