There are a number of renowned investors like Warren Buffet, Jim Rogers, Peter Schiff and so on who reject the idea of Bitcoin. Among them, Schiff is one of the leading critics, voicing his scam and Ponzi call on Bitcoin and crypto on a regular basis.
According to Max Keizer, these ‘not’ Bitcoin influencers are the one’s who indulge in FOMO at highs later. He tweeted,
@PeterSchiff Jim Rogers, @mcuban (Mark Cuban) and other pre-coiners represent huge pent-up #Bitcoin buying demand. When they finally understand it, they’ll go all-in with huge buys. I 100% guarantee this to be the case.

McAfee was popular in the crypto community for his $1 million/Bitcoin prediction. However, he shifted his belief to a tokenized world with other cryptocurrencies leading the payment charge. According to Keizer, the purpose of shilling and marketing altcoins is only a futile attempt to replicate the early gains in Bitcoin.
This has some truth in it as altcoin investment has usually been motivated to ‘stack sats.’ Keizer tweeted,

He went on the call Mrs McAfee a ‘Karen’ (referring to the meme a snout ignorant woman) who replied in John’s defence. However, Keizer continued to indicated that McAfee is suited to shill ‘Karencoin.’ McAfee had a humble response to Keizer and refrained from going into the specifics. He tweeted,
