“Not retiring from cryptocurrency completely.”

John McAfee tweeted, “I’m no longer doing crypto promos. Not if God Her/Himself comes with a plan to use Blockchain for auto-erotic stimulation. Not even. ” He added that he is not backing off from crypto and is backing off from promoting specific coins or projects.

John McAfee is known for making outrageous bitcoin prediction. According to him, the price of bitcoin will reach $1 million by the end of the next year. He still stands by his prediction. Currently, bitcoin is trading below $7,000, and according to analysts on TradingView, bitcoin may fall to $4,000 in the short term if it breaks below the support level of $6,500. However, McAfee acknowledged that he has “no chance” of winning the election.

Yang, who has strong online following for his proposed UBI and other tech-friendly regulations, qualified for the December democratic debate. Andrew Yang also showed support for legalizing psilocybin mushrooms for research purposes to treat depression.
