Bitcoin Forum

I would like to hear your thoughts on John Mcafee.  Do you respect him and do you believe he has done more harm or good for the crypto world?

He is smart, there is no doubt about that but I guess everyone knows that no one could predict whether a coin is going up or down. The coin that he advertised may be indeed good as he claimed but that is not necessarily supposed to show in the price, we have coins that are completely useless and yet on the top, and some of them have a unique use case and active development but simply didn't make it. And If you're referring about the tweets that he used to make in the past (not sure If still doing it) then I believe he's being paid for that.

John McAfee likes to do a show. He has achieved success in his life, but that does not mean that he can be an authority in every field of economy or life.
The cryptocurrency market is unpredictable, so his ideas about the price of $100k for Bitcoin in 2020 are taken simply from the crystal ball. I hope this will happen, but in my opinion it is unlikely.

Ya he is for sure a smart guy but the drug addiction and his personality makes him a loose cannon.   I mean I'm sure he gets people excited about crypto but he probably turns off a lot of people with his ridiculous predictions. 

I definitely respect John Mcfee because of his previous record right before crypto currency was popular, when he has not come out as a crypto enthusiasm but what I felt for him changed ever since he's involve in paid advertisement of make false market prediction. This was what make alot of people believed he's among those that harm the crypto world.

Might be annoying to anyone but his mouth full of talks about crypto quiet contribute to awareness and exposure of it even how realistic on unrealistic it was.

Different people have different way on understanding on a certain prediction or shills. If McAfee created a hype and people buy it, then they are being under of his words. Why just believed easily? Why just trust easily?

His predictions is considered as horrible and ridicolous by some but the end of the day, it's us who will decide on our next move.

Some who put money especially on ICO where McAfee promotes blame these guy for their losses. That's not making sense as they must understand the risks they are going into once they put money on ICO.

John's done a lot in terms of providing good talking points in articles for Bitcoin. He's been a staunch supporter, comparing Bitcoin to the new Gold Standard and such. But what has he done to make those optimistic comments come true? Nothing.

Seriously, what tangible thing has John added to bitcoin other than memes about him eating his own dick?

I'll wait patiently for your response.

This is the most ridiculous thing I've heard/read today. John McAfee doesn't even registers on the controversial scale. The 2nd most controversial crypto personality after Roger Ver is Craig Wright. Full stop.

i dont care what he says, he is just one of those americans that used the central bank of the united states to get rich.

He is indeed a showman and living from that. Of course he is going to make absurd claims to go viral, that is precisely why. I don't really pay attention to any of his claims, its not worth the time. There is people like Andreas Antonopoulos whose speeches are far more important to the community.

McAfee doesn't harm the crypto world, if anything he harms himself. He basically says good things from whoever sponsors him to talk.

But in the late 80ies and early 90ies, the MSDOS world got rid computer viruses thanks to him, and that's the only good point i give him. I don't even care who he sold that company to, by the time it became a windows product it was garbage anyway.

And whatever happened to his life in Belize, is enough drama for someone whom i barely pay any attention.

John Mcafee is a famous businessman in the world that invented  the Mcafee anti virus that every knows and using this anti virus. My point is John Mcafee is a most influencial person so it means for what he said about crypto was everybody believe  on him because his reputation as a businessman was here on his saying. I believe on what he said that crypto will be rise more.

Lol... Mcafee is a complete joke when it comes to crypto...

He is basically paid to say whatever they tell him. I wish these guys would stay out of the light if they are investing.

How could we respect him after he made this video?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKgf5PaBzyg

He is a joke, just a billionaire Joke and no more.

Yeah  since he was accused of murder I kind of avoid reading about him.

I do not respect him and do not believe a single word that this person said as he lies and is sold for money

I hope that nobody believes in these charges of murder! He is crazy, but not stupid. Probably it was another of his shows. He needs money, so he wants to remind about himself to the world in a new way. More people was talking about him, so he was able to earn more by fake pumping shitcoins.

He’s a noisemaker. Nothing more.

Mcafee badly ruined his reputation and lost his influence. I think that many no longer take him seriously. I take a neutral attitude to him. I have never traded on his advice.

His comments on the prices of the Bitcoin are the part of speculation and not reality ,no one can predict the exact trend of the market as it is beyond the boundaries of the nation and with mass adoption the task of speculation will become more difficult.

John Mcafee is a good guy, but he is a little crazy. We're all a little crazy inside. John has embraced this side of himself.

0:08 you forgot to turn on your computer John! that's why you can't send! hahaha

I agree. Crypto definitely needs more famous faces somehow talking/promoting about it in a not entirely negative way at least. Some people get offended easily this days but what counts is how many someone can bring in and people tend to follow the trends.

More famous people who do it means a better time overall for Bitcoin, some might feel ashamed when it drops tough but people need   to understand that they can't sell when it's too low if they bought high, especially if something important would be lost by doing that.

Overall, time will tell but i agree with some of his predictions for the future of Bitcoin's price.

I know him,
He's a smart guy, He's a really good person for creating FOMO and good news about new coins/tokens from the project who already supported by him...
Almost every project that supported by him always bringing so many investors and makes this project can be easily reached at least softcap...

But sometimes he's crazy...  ;D

He should've established himself as some sort of crypto authority beyond whatever previous fame he had before becoming the travelling circus he is today. As far as I can tell he has created and contributed nothing tangible to this area. He has made a lot of noise and done a great deal of shilling that has achieved absolutely nothing beyond lining his pockets a bit.

He didn't even know Bitcoin has had two halvings.

john Mcafee  was john as security  expect and with  higher creditability and good reputation , But now he has lost  his credibility  and reputation because  of cryptocurrency .. John Mcfee has made allot of fake prediction in crypto  price , last two year  he promoted a project is now a shit project  now.

i believe in crypto we need allot security  expect and influential person like him  ..  thats why he has lost his reputation now  ..  But we need someone who is ready to destroy his reputation like him just fight for crypto  .. When crypto  become accepted across the globe he will become the hero again  ..

John Mcafee is a good man and well respected in the community, i still remember the time when he maid a word for Verge and the token goes up really insane.
But there are humor that he is getting tokens and coins from doing it, that is what i wanna know.

I kinda like him ,i was aware of his involvement in cryptocurrency when I back up electroneum and now I'm an investor of Apollo which john is the chairman ,I haven't seen him doing any damage to crypto space at all and I read on the news some months ago that he was backing a coin and later said it was scam ,I don't know if that is true or not

Mr. Mcafee is smart investor - he always influences crypto and makes profit in that.

Jhon McAfee is a smart person because he made an anti virus in 1987 and now he is a person who always gives positive suggestions to people who want to invest in cryptocurrency. At least the presence of Jhon McAfee will make some people believe in cryptocurrency, all we know to make someone believe in cryptocurrency is very difficult, need someone who has popularity in order to convince someone, especially for newcomers.

I think he's a genius, but he's crazy, he wants to be a winner in the United States, but I look at his Twitter feed, and I'm afraid of what he'll do to the country if he becomes one. And most importantly, he left the country because John is being sought by the IRS because he evaded taxes.

I think he's a very influential person in the crypto world. In fact, many people believe in his predictions. Even ICO Endorsed  by John McAfee can be successful, such as Bobsrepair and Docademic.
But, for the predictions I'm not so sure, because everyone can also give a prediction.  ;)

I don't think the harm is due to John Mcafee, because the market decline was caused by many factors and accidents that occurred before John Mcafee was really involved in the crypto industry.
so this has nothing to do with what happened at this level of decline

John Mcafee is a well-known person in the crypto world, even people are willing to follow whatever is his decision, like the ICO that he supports, people certainly have more trust in ICO supported by Johnmcafee. The influence is indeed quite large, but the situation cannot be a reference for the right decision

I fear for the future of his manhood .. $100000 seems a little far at the moment.... be nice if it got to $99999 and that was the ATH until 2022

I am not aware of the progress of John Mcafee's news in this industry.
in this downturn, it is rare for news to tell about John Mcafee with crypto except for ico.
I think John Mcafee is one of the characters who wants crypto to be used globally

I never for once takes anything the man says serious, I recently watch one of the video he did inside a ship talking about him being framed by United stated. To me he is just a crypto showman but he is quietly making his money. I have seen so many ICO in the past using him as advisor and he randomly run an advertisement for many ICO in the past and present. His predictions should not be taking too serious because we all know How difficult it is to predict the price of cryptocurrencies. To me he is just one of many crypto talkative.

The market has nothing to do with John McAfee, it's the people who made it a big hype. A lot of people believe in his words I think he's making us fool by giving wrong predictions. It's better to stay away from following this guy.

Though he may be disrespected by many but for me i do respect him very much, he is my mentor whom i looked upto in order to see the light in the world of cryptocurrency. We should not forget so quick when he was on the ball roller back then in 2017, his single tweet could turn the whole crypto table around. Why not try to respect such indispensable high ranked individual? 
When i grow up i will like to be like John Mcafee

He is very popular crypto enthusiast i think. I invest in Docademic and Bezop both are Endorsed by John McAfee and we are know that those project was growing. I never forgot MTC it's was massive success unbelievable when support John McAfee.

for now John Mcafee's prediction has made me make the right decision in the current trade, so for me this is kindness. but this is only a prediction that is not absolutely true.

Meaning you want to be drunk and high all the time even in your 70s? John is using hard drugs you can see it the way he talks. He has a habit of touching or wiping his nose, he nervously scratches his face. Those are habits you develop over the years and you don't get them from smoking weed ;)

I like that he doesn't pay taxes and has the balls to say it in public. I don't like that he was pumping worthless shitcoins for money.

If it means me to be a drunkard at 70s doesn't matter now but the caliber of individual John Mcafee is worth emulating. Candidly speaking i benefited from most of his coins the said man supported years back and never regretted any thing not for once. A good speculator when it come to crypto-industry. He was pumping for the smart to gain, so, i love John Mcafee so much.

Regardless of what he's done for bitcoin or crypto I think he truly only has his own self-interests at heart and is just in bitcoin -- or whatever alt he is shilling -- to personally enrich himself. It's public knowledge he will take money to promote whatever ICO you want and I think he would sell anything if there's money in it for him regardless of whether others may lose out or what he's promoting is unethical.


You should take any price prediction from anyone with a fistful of salt. Nobody knows what they're talking about and in John's case it's again in his financial interests to promote bitcoin because he owns a lot of it. Maybe bitcoin will one day be worth $100k but I sincerely doubt it. We unfortunately may never see anywhere near the all time high again, though I hope I'm wrong on that.


But how many ICOs has he supported that lost out big-time or turned out to be straight up scams. I don't follow him or what he promotes that closely so I'm not sure if there's been any out and out frauds but it wouldn't surprise me.

Mcafee is known for making predictions about what will happen to a specific cryptocurrency or ICO in the next months or years. He is a believer of Bitcoin and spreads good words about it which is good for Bitcoin, but everyone knows why he is doing it. It is because aside from investing on it he also mines Bitcoin, so when Bitcoin gets more value, he will of course benefit from it. He also make money to promote ICOs before (idk if he's still doing it). He talks a lot of good things about cryptocurrencies especially in Bitcoin but of course predicting the price of cryptocurrencies is impossible so no one should rely on predictions even if it is prediction coming from an influenced person or group.

John Mcafee definitely knows a lot about cryptocurrency especially how to profit from it. About Bitcoin reaching $100K I really don't see that happening.

Other than tweeting 'I like whoeverpaysmecoin' can you point us to one actual piece of progress he has contributed to cryptocurrency? Has he solved a problem? Has he invented anything? Has he developed anything himself?

He's done a bit of mining, endorsed that hopeless wallet and talks a good game. That's rather far from indispensable.

I don't mind him. I can't believe anyone would base any of their life choices on any of his influence.

I had one coin once (gained it trough airdrop) that was 80$ when he promoted it on Twitter, after he stopped promoting it the price fell to 2$.

That proves to me that he has significant influence in cryptocurrency world (but if the project is quality project or a not that is another story).

Ridiculous predictions?  LOL.  Remember not too long ago when Bitcoin was worth less than 1-cent each?  Now it's like $3500 and more!  So what makes his prediction of 100K and more "ridiculous", as you say?

There is no doubt that he is successful in his field
But the abundance of his statements exaggerated in its positive make it
Non-objective and therefore no one cares what he says.

he's a freak for sure but an entertaining one at that

More harm than good. Especially because he has advertised many projects which in the end have turned out to be big losses for all the investors...

John Mcafee prediction working 95% when i started trading by following his strategy. In cryptocurrency who guys predict absolutely true i mean 100 working? It's absolutely impossible thing.

no matter what kind of person he is, but in fact he made a personal discovery that everyone has become aware of) respect

Whatever the result in a man, after his ideas, I still like the fact that he took and embodied what he wanted! He did it, and this is important for him.

Entertaining indeed. The guy has a good knack for humor and his projected arrogance can really annoy a lot of people but i think he's a thinking guy. I don't really believe he's serious about eating up his own dick live but probably just wants to show his confidence in the technology. Exaggerating would be the word to describe it.

He is smart, a repectable businessman so that everyone was respect and following what his saying even those some cilibrity and businessman was following his thoughs, his prediction because he can influence everything so who can't  respect him. I think every what he said was happening.

John Mcafee is not an American he was born in the United Kingdom.

I respect for his contribution in the world of internet, he's one of the pioneers in the space. However I don't like him shilling and promoting scam ICO's he is losing respect that way, also his wild predictions about crypto prices are just ridiculous but he's a good entertainer anyway.

Though many times I made fun of him, genuinely he is a smart guy, and many times he proved his predictions are not useless! People started mocking on him when he made a statement about eating own dick on a live show or something like this! He spreads the news about coins by taking money but the good thing is, he did not choose bad coins to spread positivity. The coins were good but his prediction about price wasn't right many times.

you have to answer this:




Nope


McAfee to Lead 2020 Presidential Campaign ‘in Exile’ After Alleged IRS Indictment (https://cointelegraph.com/news/mcafee-to-lead-2020-presidential-campaign-in-exile-after-alleged-irs-indictment)

he has done more harm.

every time he appears on news channels is because he comes to shame the crypto world. he needs to take vacation from twitter and stay away from the crypto world for some time. He's helping the crypto world to become a big joke.


and see what price we have today. This guy is embarrassing the crypto world.

Hah! He deleted it:


Let's keep it going until he answers the question.

topic is self moderated , if you dont like it no one is making you post here.  I don't mind if people say negative things about John but at least provide EVIDENCE.

I did post evidence. You deleted the comment anyway.


The twitter link is evidence that he said that.

I apologize then, I may have deleted your post by mistake instead of a different one.

Mr Mcafee is a world-renowned crypto enthusiast who has in the past done so much to promote cryptocurrency.  His predictions have helped a lot of crypto
to make incisive decision on their trading and one will not soon forget his prediction of Bitcoin hitting $50,000  or he will harm himself. His actions have gotten more people interested in cryptocurrency.

He actually is just another kind of Suppoman, an old man that is. If you believe in everything he says, you will either be poor or rich by now. Most of which, you will be poor.

 Maybe just call him another 'hype train' to ride on. Any other than that, volatility is still a thing in the crypto market, and uncertainty will always be an opponent for us, for which he will never be an exception.

Smart people never run out of IDEs. At least John Mcafee has contributed to spreading crypto into the public domain. With his reputation, it's no wonder many people are interested in every speculation or decision he makes.

his life history is full of controversy, often dealing with authorities, he even once sold illegal weapons.
I have no idea, but he's a genius. crazy genius.

I've seen him twice now at bitcoin conferences. Both times he delivered a very inspiring insight into the power of cryptocurrencies. Very inspiring. I also managed to get a photo with him and talk to him a little. It was awesome. THEN I watched the Netflix documentary and saw his sordid history in Belize. Wow,, I couldn't believe it.
I don't care about what he does in his personal life. I do think that if you listen to him he makes sense. I admire him for what he has done, but not for the type of person he is. If that makes any sense.

Agreed. John McAfee sure can say whatever he wanted regards bitcoin prices but still no one will know when it will happen. It doesn't mean that if you disrupt the fiat money game you will disrupt crypto currency.

I have nothing against his personality, and have never used his products or advice, but I want to express my opinion on his comment that the price of Bitcoin will increase by 100 thousand dollars. My opinion is that whales just need to sell bitcoins at the peak of its price in order to earn money, so they pay well-known people to advertise the product. Here people bought Bitcoin for 20 thousand dollars, and they lacked the patience to wait and started selling it, which led to a reduction in the price, but people thought it would cost 100 thousand dollars. Therefore, I declare, when no one will listen to anyone when buying coins, many either lie or do not know.

Mcafee is pretty amazing as far as I'm concerned. Wouldn't listen to his crypto advice, obviously... but his presidential campaigns are top notch. In 2016 he made cybersecurity a trending mainstream topic and he's about to do the same with Crypto in 2020.

John Mcafee is a very interesing person. He ran out from USA because he didn't pay taxes. And now he is travelling on his boat in the sea. I think this story will be very exiting.

The major reason why bitcoin and cryptocurrencies market pump in 2017 was due to the some comments that McAfee has made.  Therefore I respect him and I really think he has influenced the market positively.

there is nothing crazy about McAfee. he is someone who saw a good opportunity to make a lot of money and took advantage of it. obviously from outside his actions seem crazy but when you see the motivations and what he gained you can clearly see that he was doing all that to make millions. and that is what he did with altcoin pumps and ICO promotions that he got paid to do.

Lol . no way . the price pump because of the high demand last year and its not because of what john have said


He is damn crazy  . he even said that he will eat his own d*ck in a national televesion if btc price wont rise .



Most people ? So that simply means you are maybe included on them . so as i , but sorry im not nuts .


Oh really ? I didnt know that john was also a badass but thats not cool to escape your own country just because you dont want to pay for the tax  . tax evasion is a serious crime .

That's the reason why he ran out and all of it, there's just one thing that everyone waits for. And I'm sure that all of you knows what I'm saying and it's about the 2020 bet that he made.

And this makes him more interesting for some that wants to meet him in person. Yes, I don't know him personally and what you just said makes me more think of what to say and what to believe, it just divided what I'm believing.

He shills about ICO to profit as what people see him. I see him promotes a lot but I think the projects he does are actually making it which they do have a unique use case.  And so I end up also trying to chase the coins he does shill. Docademic looks good to invest with. His speculations just sucks though.

John McAfee is a walking stereotype of a used car salesman.

He's the real life equivalent to Matilda's dad.

He is quite a significant figure, but I do not listen to his predictions. It is not always possible to trust such successful people just because they are successful. They take advantage of what many trust them and can abuse it.

I don't listen to any of his predictions because honestly it's hard to take him serious lol, but he could be right one day. But I feel like we do need him in our world because of his crazy marketing skills, he knows how to do that very well.

If you ignore his price predictions, he's one smart dude. He also personally knows most people in the space and can give you some insights that others wouldn't.

if in my view as just respect and for good things I don't think there are many, maybe more truthfully he talks a lot from what I feel, one thing I want to wait is whether he will eat his penis if bitcoin is not correctly predicted in 2020

He was very popular some time ago with some of his Twitter tweets about crypto. but now I don't see it or I am disappointed with some comments from him. nothing special now.
I even forget that he has an antivirus company.

To be honest I had some respect for him after watching halt and catch fire (great series by the way), but what he did during the great pump of 2017 was not cool. Probably more damage than good imho.

To be very candid I usually take any crypto oriented project that is backed by John Mcafee very serious and I always believe his prediction. I can not say He is the cause of any negative thing that is happening in the crypto space. I checked His twitter page recently and discover some post that do not befit His reputation, He will not even succeed in the political career.

I respect him of course as a person and anyone whether it is John Mcafee or not should deserve a respect as a human being. I think John Mcafee is a great guy who believes in the future of Bitcoin or Crypto Currencies but his predictions are kinda out of the world because of the huge amount of price of Bitcoin that he is predicting on 2020. We all know that no one can predict the price of Bitcoin but it is not a bad thing to predict in a speculative market that we are living right now in my point of view.

well he is someone who likes to be on the spotlight of cryptocurrency. so far he has predicted price for some tokens which eventually pumped in price and later dropped,apart from just making speculations about bitcoin price and other cryptocurrencies, he has not done any significant thing related to cryptocurrency and bitcoin

I quite respect him but not just in cryptocurrency world, he is popular and able to influence peoples.
He didn't do any harm of crypto i guess, aside from his predictions about some altcoins he did.  ::)
Anyway he his a good public figure, no wonder many altcoins promote their coins with him.

The man that gather the people's trust but with the influence of cryptocurrency and the much he will get.
It is destroyed, at first everything was fine even with XVG, but not now, people do evolve too, they are smarter now.
MCafee is a NO NO now!

He is not only popular for some days, i think he is belong professional crypto Enthusiasm. But he is known as a antivirus institution CEO.
His endorse projects always big success. But i think every investment risky and it take it own risk.

I like the guy and his passion about cryptocurrency. I just wish he stops shilling coins and receive money from ICOs. It's better for him to be an independent supporter or critic.

This is self-moderate post that means you can delete any post in this thread. I think don't delete negative feedback about John Mcafee because you make this thread for public opinion. So, you can't deserve everyone respond positive opinion.

Technically am sure that whatsoever a man does to add value to mankind should be applauded because s/he contributed enough to a level. Seriously, we all enjoyed his tweet back in those days were cryptocurrency was at it peak, i single handling gain my first profit from his tweet around 10,000$ he was awesome and i still love him.

Yes, you're right with what you said about whats man does to add value to mankind but McaFee situation is different. He does help the crypto currency price to boost and community at large to gain more exposure but the feelings and the respect I hard for him changes the moment he start using the respect he had to mislead people to invest into wrong coin and project.

In my opinion John McAfee has made the best predictions of the Bitcoin price.

He predicted a price of 1 million dollars for 1 Bitcoin in 2023, in my opinion the price of Bitcoin will be approximately 600 000 dollars for 1 bitcoin somewhere in 2023 - 2024.

He is a well known and respected person. There was this one ICO in the past that I participated in that was supported by him. The coin value did not have much to say and I didn't hear anymore about the project. Well, he is not to be blamed in cases like this, he supported but it is not in his hand. He is not the developer and for sure the concept, the believability and the supporters of the project are still the main factors for the success of the project.

he is just a smart business man and he has somehow form his regular tweets about different cryptocurrency and bitcoin spread the word about bitcoin to people. Most of us dont even mention bitcoin in our social media platforms but John Mcafee is always talking about bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency and if you see such thing definitely you would want to find out and indirectly get information about bitcoin, cryptocurrency and blockchain. Though he most times tries to predict price of bitcoin and other crypocurrency, he has somehow spread the word about bitcoin with his tweets which is good for the bitcoin community.

 ;D ;D How can a good guy with a crazy attitude? I don't think he is a little crazy, but he is a real crazy man.
I saw his current prediction, and I think he just makes a joke with the prediction. How can a person like him specifies the time for the Bitcoin price [$1,000 000] with a definite date. He said "I'm the only one giving you a hard date: Dec 31st, 2020." Well, is he the god? For me, he is purely crazy. lol

I just read the info from this site: https://www.ccn.com/john-mcafee-bitcoin-price-predictions

I know John Mcafee from reading the whitepaper of ICO projects that I attended. Usually, he acts as an adviser to a specific ICO. I honestly don't know his personality and abilities real and meticulously. I only made a sign that the ICO project was his advisory team, so most of the projects were trusted and successful. Therefore, the project team members and advisory team became one of the concerns that I saw if I decided to join an ICO.

From what I heard on Mcafee is an early investor, advisors some altcoins that become successful in past years. Then he became a Crypto Guru predicting prices of altcoins he wants. Some say Mcafee just promoting those coins to be recognized, some say he's just trolling and shilling. He should have created a account here at BTT to also hear what his opinion.

Lol, McAfee is nothing but a crazy old man. How to be confident in his impossible predictions?

Crypto price cannot be predicted from a say to another, or McAfee explains us how big btc will be in the future.

Maybe he has a time machine to go to the future, and he sees that bitcoin price reach more than $1,000,000 ;D

We don't know what he is thinking about bitcoin, but I guess that he wants to make a lot of profit like what we want so he spreads that news to the public and hope that it will affect the price to increase higher from now on.

I think we will see another drama from him in the future especially if bitcoin can increase or even decrease before it increase, and I will only wait for what he says later ;D

John David McAfee was a British-American computer programmer and entrepreneur. He founded the McAfee Associates software company in 1987 and ran it until 1994, when he resigned from the company. McAfee Associates achieved initial success because the creator of McAfee, the primary industrial antivirus code, and this business is currently manufacturing a series of enterprise security code. The company was bought by Intel in 2011 and returned in 2017 with TPG Capital having a majority stake, even though the software always bore the McAfee brand name. McAfee's wealth peaked in 2007 at $ 100 million, before its investment plummeted in the global financial crisis that began that year.

John McAffee is an astute personality in both crypto and Computing. He uses his influential power to hype some coins which some are good and some are bad without having any working product. I don't follow his hype because these coins follow the pump and dump trend and with the ones without working product, they die off in the long run.

John Mcafee has contributed to providing many benefits for crypto. can be one of the people who affects crypto. we can see if the crypto in the name of John Mcafee is always successful and this can happen and is real

Actually, every single coin he has ever endorsed has plummeted in value. Not one is up, and not one ICO he endorsed went on to achieve any amount of success. He's actually a reverse barometer for crypto, and this is because he gets paid to tweet about coins (and ICOs). 

https://beincrypto.com/why-you-shouldnt-care-about-john-mcafees-makes-2019-crypto-predictions/

In November, he predicted there would be a booming new bull market for bitcoin, and it immediately dropped afterward. Not a good forecaster of price. He should have stuck with antivirus stuff.

He's good but just don't take all that he said seriously specially his predictions, for all we know he might be dead before he sees BTC price go more than $25K. He contributed to make price spikes thru his paidtweets, he may have contributed a lot to make crypto reknown but also made a lot of investors unhappy with the results.

John Mcfee is called as a Hunter S.Thomas of technology. and he is a good writer, the following words from the light that he is shine on crypto. he is man Bless of Coins Bank"BTC has accelerated much faster than my assumption," said John McAfee. Regardless of the limited supply of Bitcoin, McAfee considers more factors such as the increased use of Bitcoin and Blockchain, as well as the cryptic currency capitalization that still has plenty of room for growth.

this guy likes to play in public. His statements about the price of bitcoin by 2020 are simply sucked out of the finger and are not worth a copper coin. Yes, he was able to predict the rate of some coins, but no more. I don't really believe him.

I also respect all that and what they do, and my power always thinks optimistically that he is doing something positive for the crypto world.

John McAfee is one of the most intriguing and most controversial public figures in the world of technology. During his varied life he has experienced countless rises and falls, and if you have any opinion on his person, his life certainly was not boring.

I admit John Mcafee is a genius, but his life background is full of controversy, I think John Mcafee brought a positive signal for cryptocurrency, admirers Mcafee joined crypto because Jhon Mcfee's invitation indirectly.

John McAfee lost his mind a few years ago already. I think he’s always been a little off but the drugs took him WAY off.. About a month ago I checked his twitter, and he had three consecutive tweets about having sex with whales. Idk what's wrong with this man.

Using his statement as a good basis to read and study more about the projects that he's endorsing will avoid being trapped to those pump and dump projects, hearing his name from this industry and every statement he have should be a guiding factors for us who loves investing with crypto, John
Mcafee and his predictions can bring something to your investment if you will carefully analyze what he meant with his statement.

This.
You can absolutely respect the guy for everything he has done (he has had enough success for a hundred lifetimes), while not listening to his stupid PnD advice.
I'm also impressed at how young he looks, especially considering the amount of sketchy drugs he takes on a daily basis.

I respect John McAfee and I wont say he has done any harm. He is a person full of so much energy and will do anything to promote anything he believes. John McAfee believes in cryptocurrency and bitcoin and whether people like it or not he is one person that has used his social media platform to promote bitcoin immesely saying positive things about bitcoin even in the face of criticism. He is a loud person and boostful but then he has been able to reach out to so many about bitcoin with his regualr tweets and predictions about bitcoin. So I will say he has done much good to bitcoin than harm. Most people who don't like him have not told or promoted bitcoin since they heard about it. All they do is buy bitcoin and wait for price to pump, yet they criticize the one who promotes bitcoin in his own little way...
