With the price of Bitcoin reaching multiple new all-time highs in the last few weeks, the tease of BTC reaching $1 million sounds like pure fantasy. But considering we've seen McAfee creator and founder John McAfee himself say he'd 'eat his own d*ck' if Bitcoin wasn't $1 million by 2020.

During the interview, he said: "This thing has the potential to be comparable to the value of gold...This is a fantastic hedge and store of value against autocratic regimes and banking infrastructure that we know is corrosive to how the world needs to work properly...I think this thing is a $100,000 a coin in the next 3-4 years, and in the next 20 years will be $1 mln".
