I find it really strange John McAfee knew about Electroneum. From his own words, "Electroneum - the first of my daily coin reports" sounds pretty "paid" to me. Why else would he all of a sudden pick Electroneum out of the masses of coins days after he picked Verge to pump? I think this was part of the extremely talented marketing team behind Electroneum. They are phenomenal at marketing to the masses due to Electroneum having a very high supporter base. Also, their whole team is very experienced in marketing as appeared on their official Electroneum team page.
