John McAfee makes another of his famous predictions, this time adventuring on a one-month time analysis for several events, including the behavior of various cryptocurrencies.
In a tweet published on May 24, he mentioned that although his specialty is long-term predictions, this was a special occasion:
My short term price predictions: in a major dip, with nearly everything dropping, the price of Docademic doubled since my prediction. The market will turn before June 12th and my predictions will hit. My algorithms predicted Trump's June 12th date. They have never been wrong. pic.twitter.com/IGAzWPtOV4

Previously, McAfee became famous in the world of cryptocurrency for ensuring that by 2020 the price of BTC would reach one million dollars.
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 assumptions. I now predict Bircoin at $1 million by the end of 2020. I will still eat my dick if wrong. pic.twitter.com/WVx3E71nyD

According to some websites that project the mathematical behavior of McAfee’s 2020 prediction, a 15k value by late June is even more ambitious than the expected target needed for reaching the million dollars with sustained growth.
However, It is interesting to note that the line of the McAfee prediction has been most of the time lower than the actual prices, and in many ocassions it has served as an important support for prices
