Don't listen to John McAfee

[PranDoW]

do take note that apparently, his twitter account has been hacked by some one. He has posted coin of the day, but clearly he is only doing coin of the week. It is not a big deal for me, but it is very awkward that his account has been hacked.

About the fact that his account will be hacked write one week ago. I think it's still part of his game.

I don't understand how this guy got so much fame in the crypto world. He's an old school computer programmer. He's insane. And he Predicted bitcoin would go up? Well it was either going to go up or down. Predicting it going up doesn't it make you some crypto God.

It's as if I predicted it will rain tomorrow and if it does, calling myself a weatherman. Then, instead of lots of people checking the news for the weather they check my twitter. Its nuts.

It is funny. You make me loughing. You are right. We can not be the weatherman because of our prediction is right only one or two times. But why more people seeing his twitter?

He started speculating when he realized that people were listening to him. Actually, he's right. I think it's nice to make money when there are so many idiots.

His tweet give some impactto the coin, actually..

I think we can take advantages for short term investment by following his tweet ~

[StephenieDuong]

I think this guy making this market become more popular since he bring big profit for some investors. Many people make bank with John tweet, and we can start buying low price altcoins for prepare his next tweet. 

[likeBTC]

Anyone knows why this guy is always pumping all that he wants?

He got hacked today, and no one knows the real reason, but it seems that he is going to make suggestion for ICO's too.

Exactly. Its really amazing to see how easy it is to manipulate the crypto enthusiasts. Just take a look at Verge (XVG) now. It's dead. Hopefully people soon realize this pump and dump pattern and actually focus on investing their money in coins/tokens/teams/projects that really matter.

[aliman00]

He is right in his calls tho, some of does coins he called out are really good and very undervalued but I don't think it's the way to go... His calls are nothing but pump and dump... I just hope he doesn't call any of my coins as I like nice slow and steady rise instead of pump and dump and make people afraid to buy ...

[Herlina]

I've lost respect for him.

He's pumping and dumping, and he must be telling certain people hours before each coin tweet because the accumulation is obvious. Yesterday he pumped the shitcoin Reddcoin and the charts showed a sharp rise before the time of the tweet.

Today he has done HMQ. Bittrex was unusable 5 seconds after his tweet and I was on there trying to navigate and couldn't load a single page, yet somehow the HMQ order book was fattening and it tripled in price within 4 minutes, not sure how the hell this happened on a site that wouldn't load during the period. He's got his people and insiders using bots on this.


He's a clown.

There's nothing wrong with him because he's just giving his opinion on social media. Just an opinion not saying invest at this price and sell at this price
Unfortunately many stupid people consider that opinion as a signal for trade

Well, he was famous because of his antivirus software — McAfee. A lot of newbies in crypto would be amazed like, wow the creator of McAfee antivirus is making cryptocoin price prediction I must follow him. I know it's nut and stupid. He obviously had no credential in cryptocurrency at all.

What disgust me the most is that he's making "Coin of the Day". He claimed that he had done a thorough research on some undervalued coin, then sharing them with his followers. That is basically a pump and dump. I don't understand how people didn't read that as "I have bought and loaded on some shitcoins, please panic buy them so I can dump on you". Fucking ridiculous.

Well, it's hard to be wrong in his calls when he's already backing top coins with a lot of documentation. Whether he truly knows about the tech and product doesn't make any real difference, just like all the thousands of experts making their calls. Maybe it's good that we now have a big pumper getting on to the internet and spreading his word. Let the crowds go and let them see what will happen at the end of the day. He just wants to contribute to trading volume, that will help drive Bitcoin up. He has a 1 million dollar bet to win.

[ColdZerk]

John McAfee is a great promoter as Roger Ver. It is well known fact. Just use your own brain.

[S3nk1ng]

I think when you fell sad just open his interview and laugh laugh laugh  oglf the BS he is talking

[alink]

It doesn't matter how wise he is. The thing is that when he posts coin, everybody starting to buy it. Those who do it first would make profit. Those who enter the game to late will lose. Consider him like a gambling indicator.

[akitha]

don't listen to him..he is just like manipulating the coin price..even the bitcoin price..let's see if what he is talking about bitcoin will come true

[ici_lemmy]

Do not believe the famous people. They just wanna use his name to pump or dump the market and get profit from it. I just trust myself

[Gaius Cryptus Tradius]

I think this guy just does random pump and dumps and uses it mainly to make money for himself. That is also the reason why he isn’t in the us anymore, just to be safe if he gets arrested..

[Honglee]

LOL, i wondering if my bag of coin would be the call of john mcafee,,, everyone should thinking about it before!

There are many noobs and greedy around crypto market, market maker love it so much, they are also many of experience trader who excited for it, only follow the call as long as they got profit!

there are always human being !

whatever im still waiting the coffee~ cheers~
