he is a multi millionaire and security expert thus people give value to his comments on the coins but there are some claims that he demand for  25 btc and 15% of supply of coin for giving any status about the coin.... you should make your research before investing in any coin

Hi, I think Cocacolas CEO is not a good adviser for soda drings.
McAfee is a big fish and a miner, the only thing he wants is profits and doesn't really care to give free advises to random internet people.
If you are a technology investor and not a newbie you know how to avoid people like mcafee or filter out what they say ...

Personally I don't think so, he is good for the crypto community but he seems like a bit of a whacko to me and he's definitely overly bullish in the crypto market. Even if you have so much belief in something sometimes the way he expresses himself is only going to appeal to and convince a certain audience. I don't think anyone on wall street would have given him much attention when he made his claim about eating his own little John McAfee

Bottom line...the coins pump after he goes on his media tour.

Take away...be the first to buy his shilled coins and the first to sell...your portfolio will thank you.

Do you guys even know about that fools life in Belize?  Running from the law because he was a person of suspicion for the murder of his neighbor?  And you want to value him as a source of information?  Good luck.

I`ve read that he already made a statement that his account was hacked and all this posts about the coins of the  day that made so much hype in the markets
was not made by him!

While it is popular and read it, it works. I think there is no reason not to trust him. This must be used. Good luck in the trade.

he is a pump and dump master, some people claimed and exposed that he is collecting BTC for his promotions, so you should take his words as a paid advertisment

Hes good for pumping coins. But i dont think that he really have good computer skills or even understand how blockchain and cryptocurrencies work. So he has some fame and he likes to pump coins. There are rumors around that he always promotoe coins where he get payed for. So be aware.

His info just pushes the value up for a period then the coin itself will always come back to its real value based on what is serves. After what he did on XVG, I dont trust him anymore. His speculations are good for short term trading though as the pump up price

He is very active, but it doesn't mean anything.

This guy is always promoting altcoins, shit-altcoins, all those who he has on his portfolio, and probably that is the only reason of why he has been pumping all those crappy coins.

I dont know, i would never use him as good source of information, no offense, but he is being paid for doing that.

It seems that he is very active and kind of giving frequent signals, but apart from the effective antivirus, is there any particular reason to believe that his views are any better than others?

the guy may have his own interests when giving advice. He may say coin X is really good, because he wants to pump it and dump. With millions at stake here for him, can you really trust anyone to give you investment advice?

Since people are supporting McAfee (which is a multimillionaire man), he can give out informations about which coin is good at a certain period and people will very much believe it, which will cause a wide pump and dump. So I think it is a reliable source on which coin will worth more than its original price but you need to be early with getting these informations from him.

McAfee is the person who was keep on supporting bitcoin from begining day i have seen lots of videos he was giving positive speech about bitcoin where all big people was giving bad critics . His vision winning now he is taking his part to discuss about altcoin . its really good move. Atleast his tweet about each alt gives profit for traders.

Before his giving the "coin of the day" then it was changed to "coin of the week". He's a well known programmer and the owner of the famous anti virus. And he's the one that even said bitcoin will reach $500,000 or else he will eat his own member if he fails with that prediction and suddenly he changed it too $1,000,000. He's one of the supporter of the crypto's and I like his attraction to other investors but sometimes his words aren't accurate.

Not all of his recommendation is 100% real, some of them is used to pump and dump altcoins. If those coin he recommend is a good investment then he must be hired as their adviser. It is also easy to say that his tweeter account got hacked. I would believe him if he do it on youtube.

Although I don't pay attention to him much, but those claims were based on photoshopped pictures of his chats (fake discussions with coin devs interested in his services)! They weren't legit.  Smiley

That is a little bit of my point really. I think he is just cashing out his name and by doing so he is burning a reputation that has been earned through many years making recommendations on crappy coins and good stuff alike.

He's broke. Google it. He sold McAfee in 2010 and has since lost over 100 million. Now he's shilling cryptos and using his status to recover some of his lost fortune.

I have never seen an accurate prediction by McAfee worth mentioning or at least crypto related. I don't know what this guy has been doing all his life since he created the anti-virus empire... probably nothing but being on a perpetual vacation, now he comes back with crypto to stay relevant, will support anything as long as you pay him. He is similar to Jeff Berwick and all these guys that will pump anything on their Youtube channels for a nice sum, wouldn't trust these guys at all. They don't care about crypto and what it means, they just want more $$$.

IMO, the coins he tweeted usually pump and dump. It is better not to take part.

Probably because he has lots of followers, the more follower he has the more people will invest in coins he claims that are going up which will actually cause coins to go up. It is simple as that and I don't see any other reason why he is so great speculator.

the guy is particularly popular and knows how to catch your attention when writing something.

He left his McAfee Antivirus in '94 and supported BTC (and cryptos in general) in early stages so we could
consider him both an expert and an investor in this field. For sure he has a lot to gain when citing various coins
he holds so, if you can take advantage of his tweets in a fast way, it is a good thing to do  Grin

I agree with others that it's very possible he's paid to shill some coins.  Bottom line though, he has a lot of followers and the coins he endorses get a nice bump.  This is one of the main reasons I bought into the Latium ICO.  He's an advisor to their team and I'm guessing he's holding lots of bags.  Once it goes live, he'll clearly endorse the project.

I don't think so, sometimes he make a good reason for choosing coin in crypto but because he's a famous person there's a lot of people who follow his word blindly and make a pump and dump scenario. I don't follow his advice as I prefer to do research on my own, but I do thank him because out of the coin that he tweet, I owned three of them and make a lot of profit from that.

Yes I agree with you, John McAfee is very active in the world of cryptocurrencies lately, and usually whatever coin he supports, surely the price will jump up, I think John McAfee is very influential for the ico project he supports, and very useful to follow him

I can assure he is good or not, but when we talk about ICO. He can pump ICO that he advise easily and people still trust. Although, many people are talking bad about him, i must appreciate what he does.

I have never seen an accurate prediction by McAfee worth mentioning or at least crypto related. ... will support anything as long as you pay him. ...They don't care about crypto and what it means, they just want more $$$.
People will stop following him when they realize he's just making money for himself
Do you guys even know about that fools life in Belize?  Running from the law because he was a person of suspicion for the murder of his neighbor?  And you want to value him as a source of information?  Good luck.

I suggest you do not even listen to anything he has to say. Why contaminate your mind with rubbish?

sincreally I don't think so, he is good for the crypto community but he seems like a bit of a whacko to me and he's definitely overly bullish in the crypto market. Even if you have so much belief in something sometimes the way he expresses himself is only going to appeal to and convince a certain audience. I don't think anyone on wall street would have given him much attention when he made his claim about eating his own little John McAfee and his knowledge

It seems that he is very active and kind of giving frequent signals, but apart from the effective antivirus, is there any particular reason to believe that his views are any better than others? I am just asking, as I have not bothered to research much  Tongue

he is a multi millionaire and security expert thus people give value to his comments on the coins but there are some claims that he demand for  25 btc and 15% of supply of coin for giving any status about the coin.... you should make your research before investing in any coin

i have seen that 25 btc and 15% of supply of coin For promoting;he asked, but is it true, he said that someone used an other twitter of his.

Not really. He suggests stuff which I don't really think are good recommendations. However, I quite like his Twitter feed, especially since he tweets weird stuff and all.

That is also my understanding, it is just signalling but no real business recommendation. I am sad that he is heading that way and selling his reputation for bitcoin. I will keep informed, but just to be aware and not be on the way.

He could be biased, but in my opinion, most of the coin he picked have good technologies and roadmap. I'm sure he has done many research and analysis before he decided which coin he picks.

He is not a reliable source of information about altcoins because he is using his fame to get paid for a pump and dump altcoins. It is better to do your own research before buying altcoin to make sure you will not lose your investment.

His feed is probably sent out after he buys in or after he places a sell within the order books. Something is extremely fishy about that guy.

 His information/openions affect the altcoin because people are keen to his choice. If pick coins then people start investing on it that why many of those flourish.

I'm not sure about all of his informations Smiley. Some of them are goods but some I think it's not. He often shares Coin of the day, Coin of the week,....these coin price often pump very fast right after he shared it. Beside he also shares infor about ICO projects but I think maybe he received some amount of money to write some news about these ICO projects to make people think they're good Smiley.

He is an expert on antivirus software. The signals he gives about the altcoins may be true or may be wrong, so it's best to research before making a decision. And we need to be careful. According to my knowledge, his twitter account has been hacked and appropriated, that signals may be wrong and this makes many people lose. Don't trust someone absolutely. The decision is your own

McAfee is a Bitcoin supporter and He always believes in Bitcoin Smiley. But I never believing anything he shares on his twitter account cause I feel like he just wanna share anything that he's paid to do Smiley). For example, He shared that Tronic (TRX) is a good coin but for now let take a look at the price of TRX, although there are a lot of big event related to TRX but they seem like useless when TRX price still too low and can't go up to 0.00001 BTC again Smiley

Bottom line...the coins pump after he goes on his media tour.

Take away...be the first to buy his shilled coins and the first to sell...your portfolio will thank you.

I love McAfee
This is how good it is to be a famous person,
Before he published a news or statement, I was sure he and the team behind him were buying as much coins as he could
And when news releases, prices will rise and ... our boom all profits + 10% to 15%

On my opinion, he must not be. We should always bare in our minds that he himself is also being paid as an adviser. Nowaday, there is no free at all. Everything has its costs. If McAfee says tbc, the billion coin is not a scam, would you still believe in him? The best source of information, comes from you only. Try to become a skeptical person. And be curious and resoyrcesful as possible.

I think not, he's giving information for he's own advantage because he knew that people would follow his recommendations and that's his advantage and getting more profit when coin prices are higher.
That's why today people and smart investors are staying away from his tweets and his recommendations or whatsoever.

Before he tweets, he invested a lot of money into coins and then after he tweets the coins are rising up in prices so that's his good advantage because some people choose to invest his coins of the day.
He then sell off his coins and there's a sudden dump everywhere so poor investors were stuck because the coin price never rises as used to be.
That's why it's not good to follow Mr. John McAfee's recommendations.

I think he is full of shit. He will pump any shit coin for money.

Indeed, he is not loyal for a coin, never was.
He just want people's money and he's a pump dump king of Cryptocurrency that will ruin investors' money while he gained a lot of money through tweeting " shit coind of the day"
Stay away from him or else you're giving him your money for no good reasons.

to some extent yes. but not for long.

what he is doing is classical pump and dumping of altcoins. he buys some shitcoins then after he was satisfied with his bag size, he posts something online on his twitter, etc about it so that he can hype the coin up. there are of course other things that go in to it but the final result is that the coin is bought by the newbies and he makes a lot of money if it is pumped successfully.

but no pump group can last forever, and McAfee is not an exception. he will either give up, get beaten down by the real pumpers that have been doing it for years, or is prosecuted for market manipulation and fraud since it is illegal!

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

Dear McAfee, a pretty smart man. As far as I understand, probably not only I already understood this. This person, was able to collect around him a huge crowd of people, with which he performs remarkably the role of pumping projects. This is just my opinion.

I do not think that he is an expert in the crypto-currency market. You correctly said that a lot of people listen to his advice ... When he says that this coin goes to growth, many people start buying it. Therefore, his signals turn out to be effective.

As far as i know and as many would agree, he's in the game mainly for the money and to get his share of the profit, hence why the pumping and dumping procedures, but to be fair, that's what any trader would do. There are so many crypto market manipulators and he's simply part of it.
My advice to the community is be careful of what you hear and believe when it comes to announcements or tweets from his accounts. We should all do that anyway.

His opinions carries the crowd. Not because he was sure about those but because he is successful. He's words are advertisement even though it was only made for an interview. You can't buy his words, you need to research on your own so you would be incharge for your success. Buying his opinions would make him rich but I dont know about you.

Literally not. Every words he said have a value. Remember that a success person's said will always makes you believe on that (not 100%). This is why when McAfee give a sentences about coin, a lot of people will believe, and then they Are FOMO

I'd take whatever he says with a very large grain of salt. He's been shown to get paid for making some promotions. Hard to tell now which ones he is shilling or actually believes in. If you're day trading, then his advice can be useful to trade by. Sell as soon as it pops though. He promoted Verge and then after it dropped said he never thought it was worth the price it reached.

Well, if a lot of people take him seriously and buy on his recommendation, then it really doesn't matter if he is reputable or not as long as you get in to one of his picks early. I don't really recommend chasing pump and dumps though.

I've also heard that he takes payment for some of his calls. Not sure if it's true or not though.

I think McAfee is a rich man who understands the movement of digital currency and understands projects that can produce quality in the future and he gives information so that everyone can make a profit together.

It seems that he is very active and kind of giving frequent signals, but apart from the effective antivirus, is there any particular reason to believe that his views are any better than others? I am just asking, as I have not bothered to research much  Tongue

I think McAfee is a rich man who understands the movement of digital currency and understands projects that can produce quality in the future and he gives information so that everyone can make a profit together.
projects supported by mcAfee usually experience success. mcAfee can influence potential investors and believe the project will be successful and it is already happening. so mcAfee is very influential not only in antivirus applications but in the digital cryptocurrency world.

He is a very well into crypto given he runs a successful multi(b)million business he knows how to business. He is a security business guy so he sees the value and many companies trust his work and word for that many follow what he says; however am not sure how good he is interms of finance in general but my guess he knows enough to decide and speculate.
