I sometimes get surprised how much people care about opinions on Twitter.
the most obvious example was that of the late John McAfee, who first attracted people with his statement that 1 BTC would be worth $1 million, and then he used his Twitter account to promote various altcoins.
No, that's not how it happened.
John McAfee was silling BTC and altcoins at the same time.
His first prediction was $100K not $1m. He somehow made a bet upon himself (to cut his dick off) if Bitcoin didn't reach $100K by the end of 2020. He then increased the stakes to $1m at some point.
Whatever this means to you, it meant a joke for John McAfee. If you didn't get it but took McAfee's word seriously that's on you.
