The list of the weird and the bad goes on.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Crypto\u2019s 2020 was no exception, with its own fair share of eccentric billionaires, foul-ups, power grabs and political posturing. So, as we say \u201csayonara\u201d to 2020, let\u2019s take a look at a few of the weirdest moments in crypto this year.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_crypto_presidents\"><\/span>The crypto presidents\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>This year has been a big one for cryptocurrency adoption. Major financial firms have gone in on Bitcoin (BTC), with sizeable allocations and investments by banks and mutual funds.<\/p>\n<p>As crypto becomes an increasingly mainstream financial instrument, it has attracted the admiration and ire of those in the halls of power. Proponents reached toward regulatory approval while suspicious politicians across the global sought to clamp down on crypto.<\/p>\n<p>It should come as no surprise, then, that some in the crypto community tried to influence the regulatory discourse on cryptocurrencies. A select few, however, sought to do so as President of the United States of America.<\/p>\n<p>American computer scientist and well-known eccentric John McAfee announced his own presidential run as the \u201ccrypto candidate\u201d in 2018. However, things got even more interesting as he took to running his campaign from abroad as he supposedly fled capture by U.S. authorities pursuing him on tax charges. Operations were reportedly helped along by an eye-patched campaign manager.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">I have finally chosen a campaign manager for my 2020 Libertarian Presidential run: <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Loggiaonfire?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Loggiaonfire<\/a> &#8211; the Intelligence Co-ordinator for my 2016 POTUS run, was instrumental in placing me on the 2016 National Stage.

One imagines Machiavellian takeovers and sycophants vying to get a rung up on the ladder, like in Billions or The Wolf of Wall Street.<\/p>\n<p>The case of Bitmain, one of the largest producers of Bitcoin mining hardware, would appear to follow this stereotype.<\/p>\n<p>In a story that is so dramatic it could have been written for TV, the once-friends and co-founders of the Bitcoin mining giant were locked in a bitter power struggle over the company, affecting its basic operations.<\/p>\n<p>In October of last year, Bitmain co-founder Micree Zhan was ousted from the company in an attempt to \u201csave the ship\u201d by the firm\u2019s other co-founder, Jihan Wu.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The conflict reportedly started due to Zhan\u2019s supposedly disproportionate control over the company. He allegedly owned twice as many stocks in the firm as Wu, but the shares were downgraded as the drama began to unfold.<\/p>\n<p>In May 2020, Bitmain issued statements confirming rumors that Zhan had been ousted from the company. Zhan subsequently sued Bitmain, and Wu ordered all employees to either sever contact with him or face punishment.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Armed guards reportedly appeared at the firm\u2019s Beijing offices at Zhan\u2019s behest in order to establish himself as a legal representative of the company. While Wu condemned the takeover, Zhan appears to have achieved some success, as he forbade employees to complete shipments of mining rigs.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Bitmain maintained that Zhan had no right to represent the company legally, but in June, he offered to buy out the company for $4 billion in shares. He appears to have been successful in changing the firm\u2019s payments details to entities he controls, but hardware shipments still suffered and 10,000 mining rigs controlled by the firm went \u201cmissing\u201d in Mongolia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Bitmain leadership struggle has yet to conclude, so we may look forward to more weird twists and turns in 2021.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_great_Twitter_hack_of_2020%E2%80%A6\"><\/span>The great Twitter hack of 2020&#8230;\u00a0<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>July 15, 2020 is a day that will live on in infamy for social media giant Twitter, as the accounts of famous politicians, businesspeople and media figures were hacked and used for a Bitcoin giveaway scam.<\/p>\n<p>The pages of Elon Musk, Kanye West, President-Elect Joe Biden, former President Barack Obama, Warren Buffett and Bill Gates were all compromised and sent out posts with one of the oldest crypto scams in the book.<\/p>\n<p>In the crypto giveaway scam, a supposedly magnanimous individual claims to be sharing their wealth via Bitcoin. One only needs to send a small amount to their listed address so that they can ascertain what your address is, and send you a sum worth far more than your initial transfer.<\/p>\n<p>Most people with a passing familiarity with crypto are aware of this kind of scam, but some that are new to the space, or don\u2019t know about crypto at all, apparently don\u2019t think it all weird that Barack Obama wants to give them Bitcoin, and thus fall victim to the scheme.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1176\" height=\"436\" alt=\"Elon Musk\u2019s hacked crypto account\" src=\"https:\/\/s3.cointelegraph.com\/storage\/uploads\/view\/439318ae89b98f94fba7c29355b1f9e7.png\" title=\"Elon Musk\u2019s hacked crypto account\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Elon Musk\u2019s hacked crypto account.

In its correspondence with both Cointelegraph and the source, it seemed like the company was trying to get out of paying the bounty. One group chat went as follows:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cSource: Whenever [you] are free, we could hop in a Zoom or Discord call and explain everything to you guys.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tron representative: No we can chat right here go ahead.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Source: It\u2019s a lot, much easier over a voice call.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Tron representative: Not happening.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Instead, Tron set up an email account for tips, while major papers reported deep dives into the hack four days after Cointelegraph and the source had initially approached Tron. Tron later claimed that an FBI investigation into the incident was sufficient cause to terminate the bounty.<\/p>\n<p>Tron\u2019s behavior did seem rather odd, given its proposed goals, in addition to being rather convenient, as it didn\u2019t need to pay out the generous sum.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Dickening\"><\/span>The Dickening<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Price predictions abound in the crypto space. Experts and analysts have predicted a Bitcoin bull run leading the coin to $100,000 during this cycle, and perhaps as high as $1 million by 2035. One Citibank analyst recently predicted a Bitcoin price of over $300,000 in 2021.<\/p>\n<p>However, there is one particular price prediction that earns a spot on the weird-list this year. John McAfee, whom we already know as affirmed eccentric within the crypto space, made a bet three years ago that could be rather painful if he actually delivers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2017, McAfee bet that Bitcoin would hit $500,000 by 2020, and if not, he would eat his own genitalia on television. As the 2017 bull run gained steam, however, he upped his bet.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">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.
