Software tycoon turned cryptocurrency enthusiast John McAfee recently revealed that he charges $105,000 for each tweet he sends out promoting digital coins or initial coin offerings (ICO). Last week, McAfee tweeted that his team had written up a guide on how his promotional tweets worked, and posted it to McAfee Crypto Team, an organization McAfee and his team put together to promote ICOs.

FOMO, propaganda and indoctrination. As usual with cryptocurrencies.

Maybe his account has been hijacked again. Lol.
I never trusted him. And I believe he's already made a huge amount of money with his pump and dump schemes. Probably one day we'll still see the McAfee Coin.

Same with you,, Do not trust him anymore,, See the ICO project with frills supported by McAfee,, most of the price of the token is destroyed after being listed on the exchange. Example ,, sether

Information from well-known experts helps attract many investors to reach the projects they promote. A given data can also make it a FOMO for the Altcoin listed on the exchange. A Tweet can significantly influence the trend of all, he is the one who can change the trend of everyone.

Comes to show that he really just wants that money. But now that they publicized the promotion service and the price though, people will know that McAfee really doesn't necessarily like those coins that he's shilling, but he's shilling them because of the service he's providing.

I also look at it this end why with mcAfee every tweet that he made me always follow it, as I see it here that all ICO prices on trading sites are not worth the price of ICO

[Nerman]

I am not sure if this is true or not, but wow $105,000 just for one tweet that is really expensive. Probably ICO who would get his service is really serious about their project. To be honest I do not mind that he would charge more than a hundred grand for a tweet since he is very influential on the crypto market.
Trust him or not regarding crypto currency advice you got to admire his courage on betting Bitcoin will reach a million dollars or he is going to eat his dick. (LOL)

That’s expected for most popular accounts on social media.. I don’t even think there is one person with huge followers doing it for free or don’t have investment or coins in HODL and just do it for nothing.. I don’t say it’s acceptable in most cases,, but reality is ordinary person need money so then what more the rich and influential,, because for sure they wanted more..

This promotional is one advertising practice even in mainstream media,, this is not new or even to be shocked with..

[steveabrahams]

I'm not surprised though because the effect after john mcafee tweet an ICO or a project is really impactful. Once Mcafee tweet about ICO, i always see that many investor will invest on that ICO and sometimes they can reach hardcap easily. The recent one is bob's repair ICO, Mcafee tweet about them and their presale reach hardcap 6k ETH.

Every man has to earn. If he decides to use his influence as one of the first tech innovators to hype altcoins then that's on him. Plus how old is he? I believe he is almost 75 years old.

Let the old man have his fun as long as you do not take him seriously.

[maximumK]

he do not do any promotion without find out the project because if he promotes a scam project then his respective career is going to vanish within seconds. so i believe on him and his predictions

Yeah, we said that his account was hacked about a few months ago when he started to make a tweet about "coin of a day" and looks like he is pumping and influencing certain coin that time but cried saying his twitter was compromise and blaming twitter itself.  

So it looks like the guy is really making huge amount of money by jumping on the crypto bandwagon about the second half of last year. Everyone has really some "bad" intentions on jumping,   , maybe look at his previous post and see which coins still maintain and which has lost a lot specially he is charging a lot of money per tweet.

There are even some articles saying that he is more of a influencer, but honestly, I really don't know what it really means. lol.

[tonylewisverdu]

never trust this guy.. or much to say never trust anyone.. always do your own research before investing.. thats the number 1 rule..

After providing certain type of special quality services in any specific field, the person becomes popular.  He becomes a brand of the particular product.  People start following him.   Because of their (public) trust on the "person" his followers start working in the directions shown by him. He becomes ambassador.  Then companies of that field which want to promote their services / products of that field, come into picture by hiring his services to advertise their products and may be paying certain amount in return.  The remuneration amount will depend upon the person's following in the market.  With large number of followers trusting him will be charging very high amounts and the persons will lower followers may be paid lesser amounts.  
In above case if he is getting paid highly, no wonder.

I do not know which side I will trust in this. Also, why depend in the tweet of John McAfee if you can promote your own ICO by yourself instead. Depending on a single guy can be too risky and I won't buy it. That last few statements will be said by a guy not trusting John McAfee. But, if one fully trusts him, he would said that 0.13 $ per tweet is a good buy because the tweet will be seen by so many followers and your ICO will become famous at a faster rate rather than doing the tweets and facebook posts by yourself.

[Kakmakr]

Is there anybody that still take John McAfee's opinion on something, seriously? He is going from hot to cold in an instant and he has a very shady past. In a documentary on his life, it was revealed that he paid girls to defecate in his mouth. <Do you want to take any crypto currency advice from someone that does that or better yet, pay $105,000 for that?>

John has clearly taken too many mushrooms, when he made those decisions. ^hmmmmm^

Why are products like Nike shoes are endorse by sport superstars, Nike can endorse their own product. Why do they need celebrities to endorse their product if they can do it them self. You know why because they can influence people to buy the product that is how the advertising world works. You probably do not trust John McAfee and I do not believe his very optimistic prediction about Bitcoin but they are called influencer for a reason.

I don't beleive him, he receive dollars and promote icos even he do not know if it's enough trusted. We need to research carefully before investing.

And people still ask why he talks so much shit

I like his btc prediction and see that as a possibility but I think he spotted a new way after that to gain money by telling fools that many shitty icos were going to succeed when obviously they were not.

He does not have any crystal ball anymore than anyone else.

This is the advantage of one popular person on social media especially on twitter. If you have many followers then you can make money with it and that's what McAfee did. I expected this is happening because he will not promote an ICO without any money involved with it.

McAfee know already that if he tweeted an ICO, his followers will invest with it because many believes in what that person said but I don't invest in the ICO he is promoted. 105k$ for one tweet only is such an expensive amount but in return, it will be millions for the company.
