I do not trust John McAfee. I believe he has done very well for himself, and kudos to him for that, but I believe he does this solely to make himself money and/or famous. I don't believe he has good intentions for the cryptosphere beyond his own net worth.
I got into a small XVG position when I saw it going bananas on Bittrex. I had no idea it was even available there until I saw it as a top volume coin one day. And since crypto moving upwards parabolically usually results in a nice 5% gain I can hit quickly in and out of, I went ahead and did my usual. But after I did a quick investigation into what was going on, the XVG move had McAfee's fingerprints all over it.
So, while I would say that XVG pumped because of what John McAfee did, I would not say it was only because of him. I think he was a catalyst for sure, but not the only one.
Oh, and just a note from this humble crypto-savvy forum noob. If you see a coin pumping parabolic 2 days in a row, for the love of all that is holy, get out of that position or at the very least don't enter a position. You're only asking for trouble buying in at the top of a pump.

Yea, i think that pump is McAfee Effect. But Verge (XVG) is great coin. I believe Verge (XVG) can achieve 1$ very easily.

... What will be the market cap if XVG reaches $1 USD? Huh?
This coin is very sensitive to different news. I thought that the cost of coins depends only on the ratio of supply and demand, but it turned out only because of McAfee)))
Verge had a lot of good things going for it to begin with, however Mcafee is having way too much of an affect on the market for smaller altcoins right now. He really doesn't know anything about crypto. Heck, he barely knows anything about how computers work. Mostly he knows stuff like, how to kill your annoying wife and how to get away with having your dogs rip apart your annoying neighbor. Honestly he should be in jail, not shilling for stuff he doesn't even begin to understand.
He must have pumped it with his tweets. I did get into Verge because I love what it stands for. After going through the white paper... It just appealed to be a great project...
Many issues affected the drop though.

It's a clone dogecoin with some existing features taken from other coins and copied and pasted into the source code. The smartest thing they did is renaming stealth addresses to wraith protocol. Nobody really cares about the tech, it's just a herd following the money.
I think many people were watching Verge, but John McAfee gave the start signal, the spark it needed. This one man is popular and followed by many, but he wouldn't be able to influence useless coins in a meaningful way. Quick pump & dumps are always possible, but the way Verge grew was not only his doing.
I still think Verge isn't that great of a coin, but who am I?

It certainly didn't hurt that McAfee twitted it, also think the fact that it was so inexpensive that attracted people as one could get a bunch of it for not much money and then when it surged that fueled excitement as was the case with so many other coins this last December.
That theory doesn’t make sense much. Verge had it coming for a while and it exploded finally. Of course McAfee made some impact but it wouldn’t be fair to say it’s the only reason for that’s rise.
Yes indeed. Verge is not a very special coin and its pump is only related to McAfee. The question is the pump in all other privacy coins are related to McAfee? For example even Sumokoin is increased a lot recently, I want to know if this is related to McAfee's twits
He is doing this for a while now, to earn back his lost fortune! Over a time people will start losing trust!

It seems like all of the really cheap coins have been pumping lately. This one in particular has been surprising to me given the number of outstanding coins.
Yep that was strange. Even went to their website trying to understand what was going on. The only thing that I have understood for sure that there are problems inside their development team nothing more.
Verge (XVG) pump is so popular, this is the power of Mcafee in the cryptocurrency, it was indeed only pumped from the word that Mcafee did but there's many speculations that the statement was paid for the people to have a panic buying on the verge for the coin to pump. But still, it is nice a remarkable tweet that everyone dives into it.I don't know McAfee is working commonly with bitcoin whales, but his effect on the pump is not inetitable. He really affected the trading decission of lots of people after his tweets about Verge project.
It is obvious that McAfee has a big factor why Verge is pumped high, but it would eventually fall after the hype is gone. Just wait and be patient and you will see its real value.
McAfee give instant effect from his twit, but Verge is great coin with focus on privacy so i can said with or without McAfee twit Verge will growing
I still don't believe that John McAfee is so powerful that one single tweet from him can trigger a chain reaction which is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. He may claim to have information about cryptocurrencies, but most people don't agree with him, and those that believe him are not powerful enough to create a pump, in my opinion.

I think partly mcafee contributes to verge to make it pump the price. Because some investors also looked into the project development. Verge is one of a good coin to invest and it is worth it.
