Probably the craziest title I've read all week. ;D Can't believe it's real, but then again, coming from McAfee...

What do you think?

I promote cryptos everyday but no one pay me

you're also not john mcafee ;D

does not surprise me one bit! dude has always been one of the scummiest people in this space. hes done tremendous damage by lending his name to shilling piece of shit pump and dump coins like verge. people who do not know any better or do their own market research end up buying these shitcoins on his advice. then they just end up losing money because he not only charged a shit ton to shill whatever coin, but he gradually buys a bunch of that coin in the days leading up to his tweet, just to dump those coins on the unsuspecting people who took his shitty advice. so hes not making 100,000 per tweet, its surely alot more.

Yeah it's not at all surprising coming from McAfee, he's always been about profit first and foremost and then everything else.

Though I do wonder if people would actually buy his tweets to promote. Or if people would click the promoted tweets after that.

yup, he is truly a scumbag.

Probably some people would buy his tweets to promote, but most won't after all who will want to pay $105,000 if they can promote crypto using cheaper ways that are more effective than McAfee's tweets? That sum he is asking for can fund advertisements in many sites related to crypto, and it can also fund advertisement on social media and on the whole world wide web at the same time.

You are different from Mr. John McAfee, he is a popular personality and has great influence on the crypto industry. So you just work hard there to promote a crypto currency because certainly was a good return it to you.

Good for him. Did he got paid to say that BTC is going to be worth a million USD?

He is not crazy for asking such a big amount for a tweet, but those who pay over 100.000$ for a single tweet are crazy for sure.
I'm sure that there are better way to spend this amount to be promoted better.

haha of course not! im sure he bought extra BTC beforehand tho and was experimenting to see if he could influence the price on the most established coin out there.

I don’t trust him anymore. He looks like a man who will promote every project that will pay to him. I think that there are a lot of scam projects in his Twitter and he won’t stop. Until he won’t lose audience of investors who trust him, Mcafee can offer his promotion services.

Wow, i just read it, it's quite shocling, the amount of per promotional crypto-tweet is very expensive, but the thing is, he already quite many of ICOs after he joined, i still don't get it and don't know why, is it a mistake to join that ICO?

This is why you shouldn't take the his word for face value. Anything that comes out from any celebrities could be a paid promotion which makes their testimonies completely worthless. Look at scam projects like Centra which had celebrity backings.

It's charging so much as well, almost as if he is offering a tool for the whales to manipulate the market or otherwise sucky ICOs to suck in investors.

Either way, I'm not a big fan of McAfee since he made those extravagant predictions on bitcoin which will probably never come true in 2 years time.

I'm not surprised by this news.  There's always a motive for someone to promote a crypto, either they own a lot of it or are getting paid to do so.  I don't know anyone who would turn down $105,000 to tweet a few words.  This is also why investors have to be careful with hype or social media advertising.

McAfee recommends a big jump in tokens, so I don't think it's an accident.
Maybe he has a connection with these teams, so the price of tokens has gone up.

John McAfee has a lot of followers, many people like him, and his tweets have a great impact on the digital cryptocurrency.

He is also a crazy suitor for the digital cryptocurrency, which he predicted would cost $500,000 this year!

I think that too because it is impossible McAfee dare to announce it with so sure without any special ties with big teams in which there are many big investors who can control the market

I recommend watching the documentary on him called Gringo on Netflix.  Dude is pretty bananas.  I would be weary of anything he promotes whether he gets paid or not. 

I had a feeling that he might get paid for promoting an ICO but $100k for a single tweet is hella crazy. But in one of his tweet, he said that there are hundred of ICOs lined up to get his promote service.

If it's true then damn, you can tell how big is his influence.

That is a lot of money for just a simple tweet, but don't forget that he is losing credibility this way since everything he says could be a paid promotion. Hope he understands that there are enough beginning traders who are blindly following his advice. The coin of the day tweets results mostly in pump and dumb activity for a few days until they move to the next coin and start over again.

I guess that's the reason why we have seen so many cryptos being "endorsed by John McAfee".... Because they've been paying him over 100 grand!

I guess that pretty much diminishes all those with his vouch now, as it is evident that he was a paid shill. That being said, this was posted on April 1st (in some countries) so might end up just being an April fools joke, though it doesn't look much like one.

I will not be surprised if this is true. I think that all very media crypto celebrities earn this way. But we will never know about it for sure. Sometimes it seems to me that the whole world consists of lies and corrupt people.

LOL everyone on this forum or more than 90 percent is promoting cryptocurrency here,
and we get payments in the right time.
MCAFEE is just a person who really known worldwide and the name and popularity gets paid.
we are just ordinary people and got no name in the community thats why we work free or work hard to earn.

I have no doubt he collected money to pump all those coins that were pumping in January when he mantioned them, I hope he really understand the implications of what he is doing, because he is using his influence in the space to pump these coin and I believe SEC people are watching him but the question is does he truly have the big influence in the space to be comanding that huge figure

i only charge $104,000 so you would be much better getting one of my re-tweets for a saving of $1000. Remember people "Thrift comes too late when you find it at the bottom of your purse."

yeah he loves manipulations. and when he want to shill any crypto currency he can do it. because there are many people following and investing according to his comments. so it is so normal that he demand money for chilling. we should blame his followers not him.

If people are aware that he gets paid to promote a project by tweeting, why do people still flock around him and follow him,? It is really funny. There is no project he will tweet that I think I will want to get myself involved with

But he is still paying with shame, guilt and regret for the 2020 Bitcoin prediction!  ;D

It's not surprised me at all john mcafee is a big name in cryptocurrency,in back he has the power to pump dump coin also can kill a coin with higher return now he can't as people know that they are fking each other,
Its obvious many ico team send his team to promote and he choose some ico and once he promoted the ico many people will buy the coin without thinking.

This respected person is really very cunning in his conclusions, it seems to me that this person is just very skillfully working with a crowd of people and people just listen to him. But all his conclusions are based on emptiness.

I don't blame him for asking that high price. Managers who pay this price are crazy.
The problem for me is that John McAfee is not one to be trusted and he usually has his own agenda and he is involved in Pump and Dump.

I think McAfee is very smart man :D But really, think about it. How much hype he made in crypto. Everyone knows who he is now, everyone from crypto.
And he makes a real good strategy - he accumulates money. All of us remember his promise ;D So he need the price of bitcoin hitting $1m. Calculate. If one tweet costs 100k, only 10 tweets will give him required amount and he will buy one bitcoin for $1m and that will be the deal, so he will no longer need to do what he promised to do ;D But he will not give only 10 tweets, so he will get paid for his words ;) Maybe he is kinda genius, really

John is no longer a reputable source of information. I can do pretty much as good as him now, since he is not only off the loop but also giving wrong advice.

if nobody reads trash or does anything else the guy is uninteresting. But there are so many stupid people and they listen to the types. and that's why he gets a lot of money .the guy is clever  ;D
