Bitcoin Forum

I just saw John McAfee just tweeted about Reddcoin and then I checked coinmarketcap, RDD price has move to 3 figures in BTC, so current value l 0.00000130 BTC (67.13%)

He is hyping a new coin everyday, he is just purely manipulating the price of almost all the coins.


When he tweeted about Electroneum, the price went up by 80%.

When he tweeted about the other coint that he posted yesterday,  it grew up by 60%

It seems that he is losing popularity right now, this is the third coin that he tries to hype and it could rise only by 40%.

From his analysis of one coin a day we are able to know the potential of penny coins or sleeping giant as per his terms.

After that it is the risk of the individual to invest or not.

The price of every coin that tweet goes up. The greatest speculator is John McAfee.
Do not trust too much, can not always provide the right preferences.

Or it's because RDD was already pumped 800-1000% in the last week or so. It's been on a crazy pump from as little as 8 satoshi. Everything needs to be put in to context my friend.

He is the early believer of cryptocurrency where lots going against bitcoin or any other crypto currency he was keep on support then bitcoin and other coins proved . Now he is picking new coins and discussing about the potentiality .

And this is not the first coin he recommends in his tweeter. And he does it not for free. He gets paid - he advertises - the coin takes off. Here such here business.

Becareful with following him, he is doing paid shilling i guess, so his nominations may prove to be pump and dumps.

I have RDD, But no idea at what price to sell them? do you ?

Pretty sad McAfee's resorted to shilling coins in exchange for money / BTC. I guess money is tight and his antivirus isn't selling anymore.

Is it too late to buy into reddcoin? Curious as to how long McAfee's shilling usually lasts. Read an article on this earlier today and didn't believe it until i saw it myself now.

This guy is a low tier pumper. Reddcoin has nothing to offer amid the technology of new coins. It's a coin from the old days that has evolved a little, likely making its developers rich. But we can't be stuck to altcoin forks of the dogecoin era. I'd be glad to see it gone and its truly sad that novice crypto investors are being sucked in by this idiot's calls. Mark my words, Reddcoin's fall will be one of the biggest ones in the following days.

At one coin a day, it will still take him 4 years to hype just those listed on CoinMarketCap. Doubt he'll run out of opportunities anytime soon LOL.

Absolutely. RDD has no active development probably for the whole 2017. Mr McAfee even asks some of the projects for 20 BTC for promotion. I have no idea why people even mention his name these days.

Before this pump, There was a huge pump from last week, RDD was sleeping until then. Now John Mcafee tweeted, Pump got new momentum.

It's pretty simple. You have the choice to make a purchase or sit on the sidelines...it's your money and always do your research. Potential pumps are what they are and only you control your $$$.

Like what ive said before,hes just using his name to take advantage of you fools,before he twitted anything his sell orders are in tact,exchanges must ban his accounts for making people join his stupidity,there are screenshots he is receiving 25btc per post on twitter + 15% share to the alt hes just luring small fishes to his bait and then dump the coin after the take profits.

25 Btc per post twitter, oh man that's  hust crazy. Then investing these BTCs into the coins that he's gonna shill.

I really dislike the shilling he's doing. I don't understand why, isn't he rich enough yet? Pretty sad he has to resort to doing this.

Even I was late to see his twitter post. now price again goes down.. my bad.. :-[ :-[

Well. I can't tell whether you are late or not. I guess that RRD price will over 100  or a while at this point. Now we need a dev update to keep the momentum. do your own research and make decision.

What is your target to sell RDD? I too hold but no idea at what point I should sell them? As you think Will RDD rise more in future?

It is starting to get some traction so I think a lot of the holders are looking for 0.50 in 2018

Might be he is investing in such type of coins, it's a bullshit for following him also he said BTC would be $50k. I am not following and he purely posts what he may think right.

Who is this John McAfee?
I always hear about him

really? so you suggest to hold it ? But its market cap is so big huh? Yeah but 0.50 possible. we need some news from dev.s

I wonder why he is hyping different coins every few days? Does he invest in them then does a pump and dump? I think now so many people on twitter and YouTube are just giving out information to gain for themselves and create their own pump groups. I THINK PEOPLE SHOULD ACTUALLY DO THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE FIRST BEFORE FOLLOWING EVERY TOM, DICK AND HARRY blindly and buying coins like sheep. I will not ever purchase a coin I have not researched myself and I do not care even if the Queen of England pumps Queen Lizzy coin.

Do you have a Twitter account? Then you can get to know him yourself on twitter.

You do researches, but you can't shake the market. John McAfee can. your reserach + J.Mc Twitter post will bring your profit. ;D

Pretty sure small fishes got rekt with his tweets,bots are also joining the buy and sell orders,whales keep using his tweets to get more BTCs.

who cares why he does it and if he knows his shit .just wait for his tweet ,buy and then sell at the right time .
everybody's making money out of this ,everybody's happy .

now i'll just have to check how long the hype for each coin usually lasts .a few hours ,a day ,a week...?

If John McAfee provoked the growth of Reddcoin, then after these statements I think we should get out of this crypto currency.
RDD made insane growth in a few weeks. It seems that the dump begins.

Yeah I know,he tweeted about XVG either which is going a up journey right now. I am happy as a XVG holder, XVG still a good coin which has potential.

About Mcafee's intention what you mention. even  under his twitter post about RDD, I saw some one has commented with screen shot , That he has asked 25BTC to promote a coin. Actually It wasn't real McAfee, It was  a fake account. We still can't approve that he promote coins for money. I don't know, however it is important for us to be vigilant.

There was slow continuous dump so far after Mc's tweeting but again right now its again pumping slowly. Some people say it will hit 0.50 in 2018, but not more than that due to its huge coin supply. So, I am hesitating to sell them. What do you think ?

McAfee's bet coins are selling like pancakes because of his credibility and support to the crypto world.
his stand against jamie dimon of jp morgan gain a lot of trust from the community.
even dead coins comes alive   

It seems like there are 1.5K comments to his RDD Tweet.  Is that correct?
I'm new to Twitter and have an account.  How do I see the RDD comments on his Tweet?

from now maybe i will take a little risk to keep look at that john McAfee twitter, every coins that he tweeted always up and it can make people to buy, but only with a little capital  ;D

We I hope John dont just too much pump trash coins. I want he can pump the best Coins, have long term price in Cryptocurrency market

i think thet Mcafee is going to loose his reputation. and there is rumors saying that he ask money to promote some coins.

if he want to see his Mcafeecojn a successful project, he most stopping this joke!

Wouldn't a great strategy be once he tweets out a coin, buy a lot of it.  Then once the coin goes up double or triple or even more... but you set a goal on how much profit you want, immediately sell it back for btc to lock in your profits?  And usually the price increase happens after he post the tweet?  Then you look at the rise of the coin and then wait for it to hit a certain target and then sell?  That way even if the coin drops down in price, well you are unaffected since you already took in the profits?  Of course the negative is if the coin goes even higher etc and then you would have made more if you held it.  Thoughts on this?

I think it is a trap which we all should stay away from. Reddcoin, verge, doge all are shit coins. Especially verge is the most overvalued coin now.

RDD is never been good coin but as Mcafee tweet about this we watch its going to moon mean he give good tip to someone for god profit and they already have now buying is not good idea as its can go down very quickly so be-careful about his tweets in future as many can go down

McAfee is a clown that has zero credibility. Watch his documentary. The guy is a fruit cake

He is nothing but a shill for shit coins and pump and dump

I wouldn't buy anything that he recommends.

I try to buy solid coins that I can hold long term

Just click on this tweet, Then new window will open. Then you can see the post with below comments.

so what next,, ?
maybe if he  tweets again about any altcoins,, thats will be a good time to buy and hold for short time,,
but not for long time,,  ;)

so let's take an opportunity for short  ;D
80 - 60 - 40 - and maybe next time it will be 20%
this guy have so many pump follower

Hi let me tell you something. Bitcoinmarshal has said that Mr. McAfee asked for money to promote coins, Actually Even I saw that screen shot of so called chat history between Mr. mcafee and another guys. Actually that was not Mr. Mcafee, It was a fake account. He has announced it even before.

RDD was sleeping , true. But RDD ID is a good concept. I guess if its dev. announced something about this ID, It will great bring attention on this coin with Mr. McAfee's tweeting

Dude its the people reading his tweets hyping and pumping it, he's merely giving an opinion on coins. ETN went only 40% btw ;p
You can't blame him for this, its the same as Jamie Dimon all of a sudden endorsing Bitcoin, BTC will pump after such an endorsment.

But the man is only giving his opinion and he's only invested into 4 alts, so to say he's doing this for his own benefit is a misconception given that he will likely be promoting a dozen coins over the next months.

This is very unhealthy to the market,in just 1 twit a shitcoin turned into something gold,a lot of people will get rekt to what he is doing.

If people believe him, the price is going to rise a lot. He tweets often about some new tokens and ICO's. My opinion is that he know what is doing, because he is in this for long time. But again you should take the risk and choose on your own, not blindly follow something.

Actually if you have enough money Mr. McAfee's tweeting is enough to get richer quickly. Once he tweeted you can buy then sell in next minutes..

Good news.
I already forgot about my coins RDD.
Now in all likelihood, the price will start to rise quickly.
Maybe we'll soon see the price x100

I bought a whole bunch yesterday and the day before for HODLing. Quite fortunate that the coin now gets this attention. I could sneak off with quick gains but I have faith in the coin for 2018. Plus I like the POSV model.

What is your prediction? any selling target..? That's what My problem right now hold or sell? in 2 minds right now. Once I sold if the price up later, I will have to regret. if I hold then price falls then also I will have to regret.. No idea what to do.. ?

It means you won't sell them till 2018 at its peak? great lets see whats gonna happen. me too holding this coin since long time, many people didn't believe in this coin and advised me to sell them asap. but I did hold.Hopefully looking forward RDD to go up in significant satoshis.
By the way, What is POSV Model? can you please explain ?

not bad 300 K for a tweet about a coin.

we are struggling here to make 1k  in profit while these makes 300 X in a tweet. People go behind fame without analysis to make quick money.

NOt sure to buy those after he tweeted.

Yeahh, they create one pump group and before pump they bought coins and make pump and sell all coins in high price, this mean in four day become more rich than before.

By the 10th coin he mentions I bet they only pump 20% instead of his so far ~60-80%

Proof of Stake velocity (aside from the below you can also read this (http://agroff.github.io/posv/) page) - the below is from the paper accessed from reddit reddcoin page.

Proof-of-Stake-Velocity (PoSV) is a new algorithm designed by Reddcoin core team to replace
Proof-of-Work (PoW) as the mechanism to verify transactions and create blocks. It encourages
both ownership (Stake) and activity (Velocity). To increase your chance of finding a valid block
and receive block rewards, instead of buying GPU or ASIC for more hash power, you just need to
have a bigger holding of Reddcoins and keep your wallet running and connected to Internet to
participate.
PoSV minting, the counterpart to PoW mining, requires little computing power or energy and can
be done on CPUs of PCs, laptops and even mobile devices. Every Reddcoin user will automatically
become a PoSV minter.

Redd coin project idea is not bad. It is said they will lanuch RDD ID soon. If they release it sooner this pumping will last further more. actually I bought rdd after doing some research, as the price was very low i bought some. many people said it is a shit coin, but now it is moving . Actually it was climbing before Mcafee tweeted. May be it caused McAfee to get in to the train with his push..

I agree, it is already climbing several days before the tweet, even i bought it 2 or 3 days prior to the tweet about 43 satoshi, McAfee just give it a push to make the price x2. I don't like what he is doing but hey i have the two coins he tweeted before and already make a good profit out of that.

Yes, Did you check now now. When I am typing this comment. It is 0.00000154 BTC (104.62%). Its moving man. Shouldn't sell now I guess. If they launch RDD ID Now. it will go the moon.
Did you sell your coins

Actually john McAfee not just only tweeted about Reddcoin he also tweeted about our campaign and it was actually a big shot, known persona acknowledging the incoming ICO of Insurepal.  And I think McAfee Holds Bitcoin (just don't matter I was just guessing)

Yes pooque, I have to accept your point. Because These are is artificial movements in the market. but if the dev.s are keen enough and quick enough they can maintain that momentum for a stable journey I think. Lets see whether RDD people can do this ? my major concern is  RDD ID...

Hello Justin I have to disagree with you on this matter. Verge is not a shit coin. their project is fine. they are faster, secure, now Wraith protocol coming. It will boost the verge coin further more. Doge is a shit coin, fine But RDD ? RDD is not bad project, only thing that I believe in it is RDD ID, Hopefully looking forward they will launch it, Then we can see how it pumps. lets wait and see..

[[Actually john McAfee not just only tweeted about Reddcoin he also tweeted about our campaign]]

What you mean by our campaign ?  :o :o :o

Not a trap, if you play short. But sooner or later this must end. And the last his tweet about DigiByte confirm this.

I am satisfied with the work of John McAfee. Through his analysis, he gives at least some sort of tip and concept about a particular coin!

This is raelly funny McAffe loves to play with market but only can play with less liquidty markets.
Why he not try to manuplate ethereum or litecoin ? he is just playing with people and making money

wauw this was just fantastic. i made x2 on RDD and love these pumps.
I also like how John does. This was amazing pump...

He is just making profits out of small fishes,many newbies will get rekt if they are late in just a minute,beware of this manipulated pumps.

I do not trust him at all, I always trust my own decision even though it is a totally mistake. Especially the investment decisions, make your own.  :-X

You're giving too much power on that man. Later on, you will suffer from that. You know, his tweets are creating a pump and dump scheme. Figure out who's getting more from it. He can just buy alot of that coin then tweet about it, the price will rise then boom easy dump. We also have minds, we should use it. We also know how to read and understand.
