McAfee is a well-known person with a comprehensive technology background. I'm sure people will have the same thought about it, they think he is a tech-savvy. When that people make a research and analysis about a coin, and he publicly share his opinion, the mainstream will blindly follow it.

I was not aware of the fact that the pump of Verge has started exactly when McAfee has tweeted about Verge. Are you sure about the timing?

Actually there's concrete relations on Verge's rise right after mr. McAfee's tweet and these people are very eager to invest the tweeted coin so almost money kept on their stashes were dumped to invest more Verge coins but Mr. McAfee's technique is when his investment is doubled or tripled he's going to pull it all and leaving young investors deficit until today. That's tragedy in my own opinion.

I think Yes and I think people should stay away from celebrity's tweets and advertisements because it will cause false demand of coins. People are eager to invest in order to get rich but if they're relying on Mr. McAfee's tweets then they probably loose their investments after few days most of the time it will never rises back to the highest bid.

He definitely has been pumping Verge..its down another 25% today because he probably dumped at the peak.

McAffee did correct/clarify himself. He did say he expects 15 cents for Verge, NOT 15 DOLLARS. As some people may have thought. And besides from that Verge did go back to $.15 already (up 30% today). Its not a bad coin, however if you supported early community projects as Zoin and Colx, maybe even Linda, you could still go in early as in the bitcoin days and not when a coin is already very popular as Verge is now thanks to mcAffee.

Of course the popularity of Verge will skyrocket any new developments like the coming update(s) so that might create even more hype Smiley

I was looking for some altcoins to use as an example of altcoin that actually goes up against BTC, and not only against USD (while depreciating your BTC long position if you had any, see my thread here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.26890562)


Someone told me about Verge, which had an impressive pump against BTC:
Sure, now it's crashing a bit, but cmon, this is insane, this coin was flaaaaaat for ages, and all of a sudden, McAfee tweets it and creates a multi billion dollar marketcap increase?

Does this guy's endorsed tweets have that much power to pump a coin, or is there any fundamentals that are interesting enough in Verge that made people invest as they found out about the coin? These volume increases are not even half normal. On Dec 11, Verge was a $100 million project, on Dec 24, it peaked at near $3.5 billion.... what do we have here.
 
Yeah dude, it's McAfee, that very smug son of a bitch. He tweets about a coin pretty much every day and that coin gets pumped. This happened to quite a few coins, one of the recent ones include burst which also had a price rise of like from 131 sats to 684 sats. That's fucking more than 500%. One more fact about XVG is that they have a shit team, so it's influence that's affecting the crypto market not the years of hardwork of developers,sadly. What's happening to the crypto world?  Angry Embarrassed
I think some group of people are spoiling this crypto world and making a fool for all new users. I don't how many new users lost their money because of the last pump in altcoins. Now investors are not looking projects they are just looking price chart of the coin and investing. Verge coin seriously still I do not believe how this coin grew in just a few days.

I think Mcafee was one of the factors and he created hype and fomo that created huge attention for xvg, other factors include the bullish trend in the overall market and btc down trend.

Yea, I agree with most everyone in saying that the pump was triggered by Mcafee. I really don't see any other variables that could of triggered it.

I like Verge, but I suppose that this pump was just because of McAfee tweet, nothing more. Of course it's not the natural growth. Frankly it's very pity that one person has so much influence to the whole market. It's not the way how it should be at the market!

I can't say it is only because of McAfee picks, but it help to pump the price, this just shows the level of sheep mentality in this space, do be surprise to see the price dumped significantly soon because the grow seems artificial

I think the pump was not just due to McAfee. Because we also see a lot of pump of coins worth less than 100 satochis. Like DigitalNote, Dogecoin, ReddCoin. Maybe thoses coins had to be pumped? But Verge did pump much more than usual because of the tweet of McAfee i think.

Well, less than an hour after I reply, John McAfee's twitter is hacked, sending markets haywire because of bots. Don't look to him for signals anytime soon.

This is what I was starting to believe. I mean this is not anywhere near normal levels of shilling:



If you want to shill altcoins, be more subtle, but this? c'mon, this is insane. This is just funny at this point. I must be a hack, but im sure he did shill some himself and got his 25 BTC. Then he will claim "woops, wasn't me, I got hacked guys" after he got all that BTC. I think this could be his exit scam to

1) End up with the BTC
2) Don't damage his reputation by being an altcoin shiller ("I was hacked guys I promise")

Haha I saw this. He was pushing like 10 different coins within an hour yesterday.Then he claimed his twitter got hacked.

Because actually his statement was he would only suggest 1 coin a week from now. It was a bit weird, first I thought he wanted to trick the bots but then he should have told the real people who read it so.......

I profited a lot from the explosion of Verge, but I dont think it was just McAfee. He promoted other coins and they did not gain as much. But yes it was free marketing, reaching a lot of people, so that along with a good coin does help, of course. Its the attention. There still is other good privacy coins as listed in my thread but yeah, a lot of it is PR/attention. People are always distracted nowadays from social media, fakenews, clickbait... So they barely research the coins and think/decide for themselves. So if mcaffee or someone else suggests a coin, it means a lot of people will check it out, and if they like it, they will buy it. I do still believe Verge was and is a great project, so no... Its not just mcaffee. Its the free marketing. You may want to look into Trump how he basically become president by PURPOSEDLY trolling the media/public constantly because he knows even bad news is good news.

Nothing worse than nobody talking about you/your project.

But I dont think Mcaffee could actually make a bad coin huge on the long run.

I don't really know about this but I know that when McAfee is trying to endorse a coin, he tends to affect the market of that coin. An automatic PUMP. Well, it is natural, he has so many followers and believers and for as we all know, that a coin will pump whenever many people are buying it.
