yeah but i think that nearly everybody knows that the these icos are just paying famous persons like mcafee in order to promote the ico. this just easy mones for him haha
Just like centra back then when they paid mayweather to promote the ico. an ICO promoted by famous person doesn't mean auto profit, instead, it can be catastrophic so just beware.
Use logic and not just merely emotion, don't invest because it's advertised by famous people but invest because you see a future in the project.

This is why SEC was threatening JOHN to promote the more shitscam coin. He only cares about getting paid from those icos are using his service and he doesn't even care about the future of those are participating in the shit scam ico. He is a scammer in my opinion.  Roll Eyes
I know that there was so many scam icos have been using his service

Use logic and not just merely emotion, don't invest because it's advertised by famous people but invest because you see a future in the project.
Most if you have money then you can hire celebrities to do it and this is against the rules of investing. I think if you are a real investor then you will not judge based on that criteria. Instead you will choose their development team or the way they work to develop the project, which will contribute to project development rather than hiring celebrities.

I never disagree with this base on the past experience. He had caused so many guys damage through the ICO. He only promoted shit coins but I think once everyone knows they should carefully do their own research before deciding on investing

John Mcafee is a major influence in the crypto community. But he advertises ICOs really bad. And as far as I know, he will be paid a great deal for that advertisement. So now almost no one invests in the ICOs he advertises

people used to trust Mcafee when they thought he really believes in projects he promote,but once they realized it's only because of money ,he lost his creditability . try to stay away from anything this man promotes . real projects don't need celebrity promotion !

Not surprising he is like bounty platforms take the money and make the campaign does not care if the project is scam or not. He takes the money and it is done.

I suspect he received money to promote some shit and scam projects. People should just stay away from him to avoid stories that touch

I thought everyone knew that these ICOs pay John to promote their coins on his pages to his millions of followers. At this point I am still surprised that there are people who are still basing their investment decisions on what John says. He is a fraud, he collects money from scam coins, help them get people to invest in their coin and in the end it is the investors who lose their money.

Not at all, basically because I tend to ignore everything that he says, since he is obviously getting paid for promoting and not doing a bit of research. He is just burning everyone and I am very surprised for two reasons:
1 - He does not need it. He is sitting in a pile of cash as far as I know.
2- It no longer works. There is a limit to the number of times that you can burn people without loosing all credibility.

This guy is not out giving his honest opinions.  He is a paid shill that goes out and blurts out whatever gives him the most money.  Remember when Floyd Mayweather was touting Centra.  The best scams seem to have the biggest endorsers.  Never listen to a personality on tv or the internet and take advice from them.  May be better off doing the opposite.

Why did you trust McAfee in the first place? There are a few laws in crypto and one of them is doing your own research, so don't blame it on someone else if you did not do this properly

John McAafee posted an ad about paid advertising of ICO projects! About $ 250,000. I think not all projects that he advertises are good!

Ugh I'm guilty of listening to McAfee. I figured he was a name that could be trusted.  I won't be making that mistake again anytime soon.  Surprising though he would wreck his reputation in the crypto world for a few bucks.

I also one of the follower of John Mc Afee in twitter, and he was promote many different coin and ICO.  Before promote any ICO he should be know and understand fundamental of the project to avoid their follower loss money. John Mc Afee is good influencer that support blockchain technology and cryptocurrency and this is good for crypto market, because more influencer promote crypto, will be more demand for crypto as well.

He is hyping some  cryptos and because of his  influence many people can lose. Its like a bounty campaigns also,but he is popular already and he makes money about it. I remember that many ICO before that has a tag name " endorsed  by John McAfee". But really, he has influence.
