I think "eccentric " is the best way to describe John McAfee, and typical of his eccentricities, he's made bold claims and proud statements which few people take seriously, and fewer rely on. I still believe BTC will reach $1,000,000, though perhaps not as soon, or as vigorous as Mr. McAfee claims it to be.

So, I don't expect his "ruse" claims to have any effect on BTC's price at all, and I fully agree with your claims that BTC will reach $1 million, all in the long-term :-)
